2004 UN Chinese Program at Nanda: Shanghai/Hangzhou Tour

Shanghai

China's largest city, Shanghai is also the country's most important industrial and commercial center, as well as its largest seaport for foreign trade. Once known as a "paradise for adventurers" in pre-1949 days, Shanghai now opens its arms to visitors and investors alike in its energetic drive to regain its former leading position as an industrial, commerical, and financial center of the entire Far East. This city of 12 million people combines the legacy of the past with the creative energy of the 21st century. No city in the world is quite like it.

Hangzhou

Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province, one of the sites in China that most impressed Marco Polo when he visited in 1280. It  is one of the two "paradises on earth" in China, the other being Suzhou. For details about the city and its photos, please visit Hangzhou.
