Shanghai is the largest of China’s cities with a population of over 18 million people. Along with Beijing, Tianjin and Chongqing, Shanghai has been designated a municipality or provincial-level city, which means that it operates as its own province.
Shanghai originated as a fishing village and port but, because of its strategic location at themouth of the Yangtze River, grew in importance well beyond its political status during the Ming and Qing dynasties. By the 19th Century, Shanghai was one of China’s most important centers for trade with the West with foreign settlements created by the Britain, America and France. Many colonial buildings from this time remain, the most famous of which are alongThe Bund and in the French Concession.
Today Shanghai is one of the world's foremost centers for trade and finance and a modern, vibrant city. To see a selection of our Shanghai Stock Footage, click here.
