China's seaport window on the world, industrial centre and, by vitue of its 13-million people, one of the world's new "mega-cities", Shanghai offers the visitor the traditional, the ultra-modern, the shopworn, the brand-new and the developig.
  And, behid it all, there is its people's feeling of expectation. Guardedly friendly in the way of urbanties everywhere, they display a quiet assurance that they and their children are moving toward a future of achievement reward. It is indeed a cultural, technical and material Age of Advancement for this 700-year old, 6,340-square kilometre city on the delta of the Yangtse River. Econmic progress is evident everywhere in the 13 districts and seven that occupy the 120-kilometre north-south by 100-kilometre east-west strech of flatland.
  A fishing village for most of its history, Shanghai begain its climb to prominence in 1842, evolving into a sophisticated city during the 1920s and 1930s, when buildings reflecting the world's various schools of architecture were constructed along its famous The Bund.
  Today, these structures have been joined by hotel and office towers that punctuate the flat horizon like a ring of sentinels.
  And, across the river from the old Bund economic centre is Shanghai's new centre of commerce and industry , Pudong, where joint veturess are being developed hand-in-hand with all-China projects.
  Today, Shanghai stands on the threshold of the future. With increasing opportunities and rising average incomes, its people are already members of the consumer society, with lifestyles that are steadily developing in sophistication and material well-being.
  The signs are everywhere, from those on top of the tallest structures to those along the exciting, tumultuous Nanjing Road shopping-entertainment area and those lining the concourses of the underground mass trasit system.
  For the vistor, Shanghai more than makes up for its lack of natural attributes-the river-facing Bund excepted-through over 360 historic sites and interesting scenic venues, plus a full range of shopping and entertainment facilities and a choice of restaurants and cuisines second to none.
  Prosperous, sophisticated, interesting, different, familiar and accessible, Shanghai waits to welcome to vistor.
