Founded as a small fishing village a few centuries ago, the city is now a center of incredible development. Besides being China's largest and most important port city, it is also the world's eighth-largest city. The Huangpu River divides the city in two.
It is said that the city sinks 1.5 cm every year due to its thousands of skyscrapers.
