SHANGHAI PUDONG 上海浦东

Pudong New Area in Shanghai symbolizes China's modernization and economic growth, located east of the Huangpu River, contrasting with the historic Puxi district on the river's west bank and the old bank buildings of the Bund and the French concession of Huangpu district.
The name Pudong 浦东 means east bank, as it is directly across from the west bank (or Puxi 浦西) seperated by the huangpu river.
Pudong starts at the Huangpu river and ends at the East China Sea. The traditional area of Pudong is now home to the Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone and the Shanghai Stock Exchange and many of Shanghai's best-known buildings, such as the Oriental Pearl Tower, the Jin Mao Tower, the Shanghai World Financial Center, and the Shanghai Tower. It's also the location to the Huge interenational airport and Disneyland as well as many parks and wild park zoo.
