Shanghai is a large city in China,at the back of the ''Yangtze River''and ''Huangpu River''. The name ''Shanghai'' means above the ''sea''. The city is divided by the Huangpu River. In winter it is freezing and in summer it is hot.
The population is large, because Shanghai is a modern city. It is the economic center of East Asia.There are many activities like sports and museums,shopping center banks buildings, fashions, colleges and universities.
Shanghainese live in ''shikumen'' residences, which are two or three-storey townhouses with a front yard. This is commonly seen in Anglo-American countries. Now they keep those ''shikumen''houses as historical sites. Today,people live in apartment buildings, they have a car and a good lifestyle.

Hi Lisa, I've only seen Shanghai in films and it looks fantastic. I've heard that is very modern and sophisticated. I would love to go there and visit some historic shikumen buildings.
