Shanghai, literally 'Above the Sea', is a port city on the estuary of the famed Yangtze River, and has been around as a village since the Song Dynasty, a thousand years or so ago.
Originally a fishing and textiles town, Shanghai is now the commercial and financial centre of mainland China after rapid re-development began in the 1990s. It is China's largest metropolis on the mainland with a population of more than 24 million.
