City:

Description:
China is a country with proud traditions of temple worships and awe inspiring ancient monuments, yet it is not afraid to embrace modernization and show that it is a country of true contrasts.

Shanghai, a cosmopolitan, bustling and heavily populated city, is one of those cities that have to be seen.
