Why Shanghai?为什么是上海

Shanghai, China's largest economic center, sits at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Known as '魔都/东方巴黎', it grew from a fishing town into the world's busiest container port in under two centuries.

上海,中国最大的经济中心城市与国际化大都市,总面积6340.5平方千米,下辖16区,常住人口超2400万。它既是中国近代开埠的先驱,也是当代中国面向世界的窗口。

Across the Huangpu River, the Bund's neoclassical facades face Lujiazui's skyscrapers — a century of history gazing at the future. Shikumen lanes, jazz-age ballrooms and xiaolongbao keep old Shanghai alive.

上海的历史可追溯至6000多年前的马家浜、良渚文化。唐天宝十年(751年)置华亭县,元至元二十九年(1292年)设上海县,标志着上海建城之始。

Today Shanghai hosts the China International Import Expo, ranks among the world's top financial centers, and runs one of the largest metro networks on earth — a city that never stops reinventing itself.

1843年开埠后,上海迅速崛起为远东第一大都市,外滩万国建筑群见证了那段中西交融的岁月。1990年浦东开发开放,陆家嘴从农田变为摩天楼群,书写了中国改革开放的奇迹。如今的上海是全球金融中心、贸易中心、航运中心和科技创新中心。每年举办的中国国际进口博览会(进博会),向世界发出"新时代,共享未来"之约。上海也是中国电影的发祥地、中国共产党的诞生地,红色文化、海派文化、江南文化在此交织共生。2026年,上海以"美丽中国上海典范"为目标,推动从"治污"到"美丽"的系统性升级——绿色转型、环境治理、生态保护、风险防控、治理体系、区域合作系统部署,打造人与自然和谐共生的现代化国际大都市。

An International Financial Metropolis国际金融大都市

With 170+ years since the 1843 opening as a treaty port, Shanghai rose from the Old City's walls to become the Far East's leading metropolis in a single century.

170余年开埠史塑造了这座城市,从老城厢的城墙庙宇到租界时期的万国建筑,上海见证了近代中国从封闭走向开放的沧桑巨变。

The First National Congress of the CPC met in a shikumen house on Xingye Road in 1921 — red culture, Haipai culture and Jiangnan culture meet here as nowhere else in China.

红色文化:中共一大会址、二大会址、四大纪念馆、龙华烈士陵园;海派文化:中西交融、兼容并蓄,石库门、外滩、弄堂文化

Today the city preserves its past in the Bund, Yu Garden and the shikumen quarters, while the Shanghai International Film Festival — China's first A-list festival — carries the story forward.

沪剧——上海的代表性剧种,源于浦东田头山歌,流行于上海及苏南浙北,代表剧目《罗汉钱》《芦荡火种》;昆曲——"百戏之祖",发源于江苏昆山,上海昆剧团为国家级院团
