Shanghai
A city of eastern China at the mouth of the Chang Jiang (Yangtze River) southeast of Nanjing. The largest city in the country, Shanghai was opened to foreign trade by the Treaty of Nanking (1842) and quickly prospered. France, Great Britain, and the United States all held large concessions in the city until the early 20th century. Shanghai is located in Jiangsu province but is administered as a separate governmental unit. Population: 9,830,000.

Christopher Pitts
Born in the year of the Tiger, Chris’s first expedition in life ended in failure when he tried to dig from Pennsylvania to China at the age of six. Hardened by reality but still infinitely curious about the other side of the world, he went on to study Chinese literature in Colorado, Kunming and Tainan, thus preparing for a bright future in toothbrush sales to a billion eager consumers. Unfortunately, a debilitating interest in books thwarted his business sense, and he soon found himself working as an editor in Berkeley in between trips to Asia instead of pursuing more esoteric marketing classes.

From People’s Sq metro station (exit No 2), start by walking west up Renmin Ave. Immediately on the right is the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, completed in 2000. In addition to the sign urging citizens to ‘keep pace with the times’ (no problem there), there’s also a countdown clock for the 2010 World Expo above the entrance. The symbolic circle-within-a-square (heaven and earth) Shanghai Museum can be seen on the other side of Renmin Ave. Designed by local architect Xing Tonghe, who also had a hand in the Jinmao Tower, the museum’s existence is largely due to its two directors who had the foresight to create a building worthy of its collection and the diplomatic know-how to clear the enormous bureaucratic and fundraising hurdles. Directly opposite the museum is the staid, anticlimactic Shanghai Government Building.
Continuing down Renmin Ave, it’s possible to glimpse one of the entrances to D-Mall, marked by a glass awning across the street. This was originally one of China’s many bomb shelters, built after the Sino–Soviet split in the 1960s. It was transformed into an endless maze of consumerism in the 1980s. Across from D-Mall is the elegant Shanghai Grand Theatre, incorporating traditional flying eaves into the modern glass design. The building’s architect, Jean-Marie Charpentier, also laid out Pudong’s Century Ave and Century Park. Continue past the theatre and cross North Huangpi Rd at the intersection, heading north towards the sky-grasping claws of Tomorrow Square. Turn left on Jiangyin Rd to momentarily leave the present in exchange for some old shikūmen houses, and turtles and crickets at the Bird, Flower & Fish Market. Don’t miss the ivy-smothered middle school at No 101.
Backtrack to Huangpi Rd, where you’ll soon come upon the nefarious 60-storey Tomorrow Square, the most daunting structure west of the Huangpu River, and its cantilevered transformer companion across the road, Ciro’s Plaza. If you hav
