Shanghai is gearing up for the 6th China International Import Expo (CIIE), scheduled from November 5 to 10. This vibrant metropolis, often referred to as the Pearl of the Orient, offers a captivating blend of historical charm and modern innovation. Along the Bund waterfront, visitors can admire a stunning collection of Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical-style buildings that once housed banks and trading houses, reflecting Shanghai’s rich heritage.
Across the Huangpu River in Pudong's Lujiazui district stands the iconic Oriental Pearl Radio and TV Tower. This landmark symbolizes China's journey of reform and opening-up, as well as Shanghai's remarkable modernization. As the city prepares to welcome global visitors to the CIIE, its skyline serves as a testament to both its historical roots and forward-looking vision.
