About Shanghai
Shanghai is the most developed city in China, the country's main center for finance and fashion, and one of the world's most populous and important cities. Shanghai is a fascinating mix of East and West. It has historic shikumen (石库门) houses that blend the styles of Chinese houses with European design flair, and it has one of the richest collections of Art Deco buildings in the world. There were concessions controlled by Western powers in the late 19th and early 20th century, so many neighbourhoods have buildings in various Western styles.
