After the 15 hour night ride in Shanghai was once arrived
clear that this is a special city. A
such a development as Shanghai experienced during the last 60 years has studied
well its same. After 1949, Mao
the Communists came to power, the prosperous city was brought to an abrupt end
. Shanghai was used until then by the Imperial powers England, France and Japan
the ideal trading center and was therefore the most advanced by far
City in China.
The earned money was now diverted to Beijing to
to give the "backward" capital of a boost. The vogue again
the bustling Shanghai, the foreigner is not in droves
turned their backs. The city then went through a very difficult time
and had to fight a high level of poverty. Only toward the end of the 20th
Century, confessed to the Communist Party of the city more autonomy
back to what the port city quickly recovered.
Today is visible from the difficult time hardly what. Even the formerly strong influence
of foreign powers, the whole neighborhoods
at a whim on the legs is presented, with a few colonial buildings
little left.
In a month here, the 2010 World Exposition opens. Everywhere there
drive diligent and you are ready to present the city from the best
page.
The classic sights but you can almost count them on one hand
, but Shanghai stands out with dynamics and a worldly flair
as we have yet seen anywhere. Added
comes a skyscraper skyline, the probably has no equal. The view from the second largest building
world, the almost 500m high
Financial Centre is certainly phenomenal.
in contrasts, it is also missing here, however. During the live
Geschfätsleute cover the luxury product of the last people in a
Hutong area remains in the most primitive conditions.
consumption is the guiding principle in any case. Probably not a large company
has no large branch in Shanghai. Also dynamically presents
the black market on which almost all expensive branded products
can be earned next to nothing ... because we could not entirely resist ;-)
