Shanghai is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world and an important financial and cultural center of the PRC. Today, the city's population is more than 24 million, and every year the streets of Shanghai welcome new migrants from the province. This city never sleeps and at any time of the day it resembles a giant anthill. However, despite all its ultramodernity, Shanghai was able to preserve a considerable number of cultural monuments of imperial times, so it is popular both among those who are interested in everything new and advanced, and among admirers of antiquity.
