Shanghai International Port, China. The Shanghai harbor opened in 1842 as a treaty port. It faces the East China Sea to the east and Hangzhou Bay to the south. Back in the early 20th century, Shanghai became not only the largest city in the Far East, but the largest port too.
Shanghai Pudong Airport Terminal 2. Shanghai Pudong International Airport is the main international airport serving Shanghai, China. It is 30 kilometres (19 miles) east of the city centre, and occupies a vast site adjacent to the coastline in eastern Pudong - hence the airport's name, and airport code, PVG. The airport is the main hub for China Eastern Airlines and Shanghai Airlines, plus a smaller hub for Air China. Beware that Shanghai has two main airports, with Pudong the main international gateway and Hongqiao serving mostly domestic flights, so be sure to check which one your flight is leaving from.
