Located in the Yangtze River Delta in eastern China, Shanghai sits at the mouth of the Yangtze River in the middle section of the Chinese coast. The municipality borders Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces to the west and is bounded to the east by the East China Sea.

The city was known as a centre of commerce between the East and the West, becoming the undisputed financial hub of the Asia Pacific in the 1930s.

Modern Shanghai has three key attractions of interest to visitors, namely sightseeing, business potentials and entertainment. There are numerous business centres and shopping malls located in People's Square and along the Huangpu River. Shanghai is a popular tourist destination renowned for its historical landmarks such as the Bund, City God Temple and Yuyuan Garden, as well as the extensive and growing Pudong skylines.
