Thirty years ago, Pudong was a tidal flat, but now it has become the financial center of Asia. As a history and culture enthusiast, I am curious about the changes in Pudong.
The skyscrapers in the Lujiazui Financial District are a symbol of China's reform and opening up. The Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower and Jinmao Tower are three super high-rise buildings that stand side by side and have become the new landmark of Shanghai.
Shanghai Disneyland adds a touch of fantasy to the city, where both adults and children can find their own happiness. Pudong's development speed is amazing.
It has witnessed the take-off of China's economy and also foreshadows a more brilliant future.
