Shanghai is China's largest city with about 18 million people and it is almost possible to see it grow with your own eyes. The level of construction activity is amazing with new skyscrapers being built in many areas of the city. Some pockets of the city are very modern with Western-style malls, cafes, and restaurants and a lot of young people are more trendy than compared to Chinese that I have seen in other cities on my trip.
