Love Shanghai, love the city and love Lujiazui!

Lujiazui is Shanghai’s glitzy financial district, known for futuristic skyscrapers like the Shanghai Tower, with its lofty observation deck, and the needle-like Oriental Pearl TV Tower, home to the Shanghai Municipal History Museum.

The area is also noted for its luxe-hotel nightlife, with European fine dining, stylish bars and posh dance clubs offering panoramic views.

Lying on the east bank of Huangpu River and facing the Bund, Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone occupies 28 square kilometers (10.8 square miles) and is studded with around 100 high-rise buildings.

Many are landmark buildings of Shanghai, making the area a great place to experience the modern flavor of this metropolis.

Often called the ‘Wall Street of China’, Lujiazui is the largest financial zone in mainland China, with more than 400 banks and financial institutions from both home and abroad, including HSBC, Citibank, and Standard Chartered Bank.


In addition, it is home to the headquarters of over 70 international giants and about 5,000 companies engaged in trade, investment, and intermediary services. The sum of transactions in the Shanghai stock market ranks it the 2nd in the world only behind the New York Stock Exchange.

Since the reform and opening-up policy carried out in 1978, Shanghai has enjoyed a great economic boom, and Lujiazui is gradually becoming more widely known. However, few know the origin of the name (Lu Jia Zui in Chinese), which literally means Lu family dwelling on a mouth-shaped alluvial beach.

In fact, the name is associated with Lu Shen, a noted scholar of Imperial Academy in the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644). After Lu retired, he lived on this land until his death. Today, you can still find Lu Shen’s calligraphy in Shanghai Museum. His former residence and family cemetery are located in this area.

In Lujiazui, the charm of the city as an international metropolis is unfolded to the largest degree. One can admire the modern skyscrapers along Binjiang Avenue as well as various buildings of different architectural styles across the Huangpu River.

The four tallest landmarks of the city – the Oriental Pearl Tower, Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Shanghai Tower are constructed next to each other. When night comes, all the buildings are decorated with shining colorful lights, presenting a gorgeous scene before your eyes. The Bund, facing this financial zone across the river, is the most wonderful place to enjoy the night view.

Oriental Pearl Tower Oriental Pearl Tower, measuring 468 meters (1,536 feet) in height, has three viewing floors. An exhibition hall, demonstrating the history of the city, is at the base of the tower. The lower sphere has a viewing hall at a height of 90 meters (295 feet), providing a wonderful position to see the Bund and the graceful scenery along the Huangpu River. Visitors can also have a panoramic view of the whole city on the transparent observatory at 259 meters (850 feet) or the Capsule Sightseeing Floor at 351 meters (1,152 feet).

Jin Mao Tower Jin Mao Tower, with a height of 420.5 meters (1,380 feet), is also a good place to view the city. The superfast elevator takes only 45 seconds to take visitors from the basement to the viewing hall on the 88th floor, providing visitors magnificent metropolitan cityscapes along Huangpu River, and views of the distinctive rosy dawn and sunset.

Shanghai World Financial Center As the tallest flat-roof building in the world, it is 492 meters (1,614 feet) high with 101 stories. Sightseeing area occupies storeys from the 94th to the 100th floor. The viewing hall on the 100th floor is at a height of 474 meters (1,555 feet). The sightseeing bridge on the 97th floor seems to be constructed in the air. It would give you an illusion that you are wandering in the sky.

Shanghai Tower At present, it is the tallest building in China, measuring 632 meters (2,073 feet) in height. The exterior of the building spirals upward to the top with one degree twist per storey to reduce the wind effect.

元宵喜乐 During the Lantern Festival on February 5th 2023 at the Forbidden City, Beijing, China, People’s Republic of China , a full moon passes through the turrets of the Forbidden City, and it is in the same frame as the ridge beast, which is too beautiful to behold. According to astronomy science experts, the Lantern Festival of the Year of the Rabbit in Guimao is “15 moons and 16 rounds”, and the full moon will appear in the early morning of the 6th. This round of the roundest Lantern Festival moon is not only the first full moon this year, but also the smallest full moon in 2023. 

On this day on the 5th February 2023 on the fifteenth day of Chinese lunar new year festival is the lantern festival or known as Chinese Valentine’s Day…. in which this painting is inspired by the Hangzhou West lake storytelling of the legend of the white snake…..

The early days, young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love. Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns were symbolic of good luck and hope…… Lantern Festival is one of the events they can go out and join in the celebration. And that’s when other young guys can get to meet the ladies. Therefore, the Lantern Festival is sometimes referred to as Chinese Valentine’s Day. There will also be big displays of lanterns in some major parks or open space.

Love inscribed in poems

The other evidence of the Lantern Festival being Chinese Valentine’s Day is recorded in Chinese literature. In the thousands of ancient poems passed on from the Tang and Song dynasties, many depicted ardent love for their partners.

Not only was love engraved in ancient poems, but also sceneries and the boisterous carnivals of the Lantern Festival, when the nights were as bright as the daytime with hundreds of lanterns burning.

The festive atmosphere, the performances, and the moonlight jointly created the best time for a date.

The history of the festival could be traced back to the Han Dynasty (202 B.C.-220 A.D.), and the celebrations were gradually enriched, expanded and settled in succeeding dynasties. But from the very beginning, lanterns have been an indispensable part of the day.

Shenzhen is One is the world’s Advanced City Shenzhen is ranked as an Alpha- (global first-tier) city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network. Its nominal GDP has surpassed neighbouring cities of Guangzhou and Hong Kong and is now among the top ten cities with the largest economies in the world….. Shenzhen is growing rapid at warp speeds that year, it was declared a special economic zone, which opened the city to foreign investment, technology, and managerial expertise through the establishment of foreign-owned, joint-venture, and other business enterprises. From 1980 the city grew at a phenomenal rate, a rate known in China as “Shenzhen speed.” Shenzhen is known as one of the top 20 High-Tech cities in the world, and definitely one of the more modern in China. Despite its incredible development, it’s not a very polluted city.

Shenzhen is Special through many ways Shenzhen is now the hi-tech home of leading Chinese tech firms such as the internet giant Tencent, telco Huawei, and the drone maker DJI. Shenzhen is also home to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and is one of the busiest financial centers in the world. Shenzhen is ranking globally In the Global Urban Competitiveness Report 2021, Shenzhen’s economic competitiveness ranked 7th in the world.

Attractions to Shenzhen Modern architecture at its boldest With sleek skyscrapers stretching to the sky, bold museums, and a monumental library and exhibition center, the city is a space for visionaries to experiment. It’s no surprise then that Shenzhen earned the status of UNESCO City of Design. Shenzhen, which borders Hong Kong, is often referred to as China’s ‘Instant City’. Municipal leaders from around the world come to see the glossy urban environment of high rise offices and apartment buildings, chaotic yet ordered traffic, automated payments, data management built on environmental sensors, and other innovations built in one unified ecosystem. Shenzhen is a city of astounding growth and smart technologies. Through careful planning, inclusion of innovative technologies like artificial intelligence, the internet of things and the attraction of new partners to the growing technological environment, the city has doubled its population in the last 20 years. The founders of Tencent and Alibaba – Ma Huateng and Jack Ma – graduated from Shenzhen University. But that doesn’t mean only top-to-bottom strategic planning is key to a successful smart city. All players in the social and economic ecosystem must work together, developing and investing in new technologies, improving internet infrastructure as Huawei and Tencent do by sharing the hardware and software market, watching for shifting preferences of city dwellers and using big data to respond to these changes. Shenzhen’s application of new technologies in urban infrastructure and operations is more advanced than its neighbouring city of Hong Kong. The city that was built in close proximity has overtaken it as a leading example of a smart city.
