by Pavla BrcakovaIts official, you can now take a Direct Flight on Delta Airlines to the Shanghai Pudong International Airport from Atlanta, Georgia. Delta is stepping up its game and flying to China every single day! Yesterday, the Governor of Georgia - Sonny Purdue along with 40 other bigwigs, made history as the first to fly nonstop to Shanghai on Delta. We're hoping this will boost International Economy in Atlanta and the Southeast.
If you've never been to China, its definately worth a visit. Paris of the Orient: that's what they called Shanghai in the past, when it was still the leading power in trade and opium. Enter the communist revolution, which swept Shanghai into anonymity. Nonetheless, some traces of old can be found in present Shanghai. Today, Shanghai is the commercial center of China and has one of the most dynamic skylines in the world. The 17-million-citizen-strong city shows her dualistic face in every corner of the city. The Old Centre in the Yu Yuan area, where you can find one of the oldest streets of China, the ' sights, is the heart of the modern town. It is a good starting point for a boat trip on the Huangpu river or a visit to the Yu Yuan Market. You will find many city museums and interesting sites along your way, making Shanghai is quite a walkable city. Although the city is fairly commercial these days, Shanghai's residents have made an major effort in creating 'green zones' in the city....and they've succeeded. There is always a park or traditional garden in the vicinity. Sit down, relax and let others do the meditating for you.
