Shanghai is a city of jostling juxtapositions with a long and complicated history. Once a magnet for foreigners because of its sophistication and exoticism, it has reemerged after decades of eclipse to become the economic powerhouse fueling much of China s fevered growth. This attractively designed little guide gives tourists and professionals alike an overview of notable architecture created in Shanghai during this period (Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai Stadium, Three on the Bund). Hundreds of color photographs and a site map are included for easy use.
