Shanghai
Shanghai is the largest city in China, and one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world, with over 20 million people. Located on China's central eastern coast just at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the city is administered as a municipality of the People's Republic of China with province-level status.
Originally a fishing and textiles town, Shanghai grew to importance in the 19th century due to its favorable port location and as one of the cities opened to foreign trade by the 1842 Treaty of Nanking. The city flourished as a center of commerce between east and west, and became a multinational hub of finance and business by the 1930s. After 1990, the economic reforms introduced by Deng Xiaoping resulted in intense re-development and financing in Shanghai, and in 2005 Shanghai became the world's largest cargo port. Shanghai will hold the World Expo 2010, the largest event in China since the 2008 Olympics.
The city is a tourist destination renowned for its historical landmarks such as the Bund and City God Temple, its modern and ever-expanding Pudong skyline including the Oriental Pearl Tower, and its new reputation as a cosmopolitan center of culture and design. Today, Shanghai is the largest center of commerce and finance in mainland China, and has been described as the “showpiece” of the world's fastest-growing major economy.

Hangzhou
Hangzhou is one of China’s six old imperial cities. Its unique beauty and fascination attracts thousands of people to come to visit every day.
Hangzhou lies in northern Zhejiang at the southern end of the Grand Canal. The city is linked to Central China by an extensive network of canals.
As a matter of fact, Hangzhou is called the paradise on earth, it is still one of the most beautiful destinations of a trip through China; and, like the great man Marco Polo once came to Hangzhou and called it the most distinguished and beautiful city in the world. The widely--traveled Venetian was fascinated with the splendor of the huge edifices, the wide paved streets and the magnificent grounds along the shores of the West Lake. He admired the people's friendliness, hospitality and peaceableness, their silken clothing and the women's valuable jewelry.
In those days, Hangzhou had an estimated population of 1.6 million, and the city was a flourishing trade center. It just like a woman with veil, she is waiting for you to unveil and see her holy face.
