The transformation of China over the past few decades has been nothing short of miraculous. Shanghai attracts a lot of Chinese talents and for long has boasted the highest GDP among cities in China.
The neighboring provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangsu are well known manufacturing hubs, and Anhui province sits in the top half in China in terms of GDP and has made strides in tech-centric industries such as electric vehicles. Incidentally, despite its modern infrastructure and high-tech achievements, Shanghai is one of the most bicycle-friendly megacities in the world, and the bicycle-only trail in Pudong district along the Huangpu River is a dream for urban cyclists.
