Shanghai – The meeting point of history and future

The Huangpu River divides Shanghai into two opposing East and West banks: Pudong is the most modern area in Asia with a myriad of skyscrapers, and conversely, the ancient urban area of ​​Puxi has the most ancient architecture still preserved. The two banks of the river are like two perfect pieces creating a splendid Shanghai that is both ancient and modern.
