Shanghai is buzzing as the 6th China International Import Expo (CIIE) kicks off November 5–10! The city’s skyline tells a story of past meets future: stroll along the Bund’s historic waterfront to see gothic and baroque buildings that once housed global banks
, then cross the Huangpu River to Pudong’s Lujiazui district, where the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower stands tall—a glittering symbol of China’s modernization and economic rise.
This year’s CIIE isn’t just about trade deals (though expect plenty!). It’s a celebration of Shanghai’s role as a bridge between cultures and economies. For young professionals and travelers, the expo highlights why this megacity remains a must-visit—where colonial-era architecture coexists with cutting-edge tech hubs.
