Shanghai Port of China

Location:

The Port of Shanghai, located in the vicinity of Shanghai (China’s most popular city), comprises a deep-sea port and a river port. It is located on the mouth of the Yangtze River in east-central China off the East China Sea. Shanghai port is about 421 kilometers southeast of the Port of Lianyungang and about 430 nautical miles north of the port of Taipei in Taiwan.

 

History:

From the 5th to 7th Centuries AD, the area in which the Port of Shanghai is located was known as Shen or Hudu. It was not developed and had few residents.  Then the first improvement appeared in 1074 when Shanghai was upgraded from village to market town status and in 1297, the Port of Shanghai became an official city. This port began to develop during the Ming Dynasty.

By 1735, it became the Yangtze region’s most significant seaport. During the Qing Dynasty in 1684, the port was allowed to accept ocean-going vessels so Shanghai gained exclusive control over customs collections for all foreign commerce in Jiangsu Province. In the 19th Century, the port of Shanghai occupied a valuable strategic position for trade with the West.

During the middle 20th Century, the port of Shanghai grew into a busy industrial center continued to be economically productive and socially stable. Because of its importance to China’s economy, it was not afforded many of the economic liberalizations that other areas received in the middle 1980s. Finally, in 1991, the Shanghai port was permitted to implement economic reforms. This caused today’s era of economic and building booms.

 

Significance:

Shanghai port is China’s most populous city, the world’s second busiest seaport, and one of the world’s largest cities by area. It is also one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. In 2002, over 16.2 million people lived in the Port of Shanghai.

Port of Shanghai is China’s leading commercial and financial center which has been called the world’s fastest-growing economy.  Shanghai’s architectural style is unique and recognizable in its range of height, design, color, and unusual features.
