Just across the majestic Huangpu River from the heart of downtown Shanghai, lies its emerging eastern extension, Pudong.

Historically a verdant agricultural tract, Pudong has been transformed almost entirely in just two short decades by the Chinese government’s creation of a Special Economic Zone within its borders.

Today, Shanghai plays host to more than 300 Fortune 500 companies, with Pudong District serving capably as its new commercial and financial epicenter.
