Tokyo used to be a secluded world, brimming with energyand oozing with culture, beauty and tradition. Shrines,
decorative parks, cobblestone streets and cherry blossom trees
were scattered around Tokyo. The city was a Utopia.Then the peaceful routine of everyday life
shattered as the great Kanto earthquake struck
Tokyo, and the surrounding cities that made
up the kanto region, on September 1st 1923,
11:59am and started a restorm the burned
three-fourths of the city. The Utopia that Tokyo
once was turned into a charred, hellish landscape.
The catastrophe claimed over 140,000 lives, the Sumida River
was lled with corpses who tried to escape the re only to nd
the water boiling. The city of Tokyo was forced to rebuild itself
from the ashes creating a more modern version of its former
self. The earthquake caused so much devastation the
government considered moving the capital somewhere else.After the event the reconstruction plans of Tokyo began to
unfold, with roads, trains and public buildings. Parks
were built all over Tokyo and public buildings were made
with higher standards. However, the outbreak of World
War II,severely limited resources and caused Tokyo to be
rebuilt once again.
Tokyo National MuseumThe Tokyo National Museum is the one museum inTokyo that is worth goingout of your way to visit.Not only is it Japan'slargest museum, housing87,000 items, it also hasthe world's largestcollection of Japaneseart.

Tsukuda island, a low sandy isletat the mouth of the Sumida river
and Tokyo .The original bridgewas built in 1696 and was
replaced in 1924.Apart from a
few patches of trees and smallvegetable gardens, the entire
island used to be occupied by athriving village of sherman and

Mexico City, which is one of the largest cities in the world, was a verybeautiful place with its breath-taking views and amazing structures. However,this city is also very vulnerable to earthquakes.
Since Mexico was built on a seemingly dry lake bed, this made the citys soilunstable. Since the colonial times, the surface lake had been known to havedisappeared due to water saturation. This made the Mexicos land easy toshake during earthquakes. This beautiful city got destroyed when a strongearthquake happened on September 19, 1985. About 10,000 persons died andhundreds of buildings also collapsed. Thousands more got damaged. The damagesleft the people with problems like lack of potable water, loss ofelectricity, loss of telephone service. Classes in schools, hospitalservices, and peoples work also got interrupted.
!As a result of this event, Mexico now takes into consideration the factthat its soil is not stable. The city made a strict earthquakebuilding code to prevent the same problems from happening in thefuture. An alert system was also prepared to send electronic earlywarning messages and a Civil Protection Committee was created to helpduring major disasters. The people also helped each other inrebuilding their city into a beautiful place once again. Now, MexicoCity is more beautiful than ever. Its a very nice and interestingplace to live in and visit to.
Mexico City was helped established in 1519 by the Spaniards. It is centrally located in NorthAmerica. People came to Mexico City in the past to trade silver, lead, copper, zinc, & oil. Mexico
City exported all of these products to the countries, states, & continents that needed it and MexicoCity traded its natural resources to get other things that it needed.! Today, people come to Mexico City because there are many job opportunities like banking,computer programming, tourism, catering etc. There is good education, good food, and its a peacefulplace for retirement. Also, you can visit this place with your family to have a great time. Some peoplemove to Mexico City for both reasons.! Currently in Mexico City, there are 8,836,045 people. Approximately one- third of Mexicanchildren are children under 15. In Mexico City, there are Indians, Spanish, French, and African. Half of this population is Roman Catholic, quarters are Jewish, and three- fths are Buddhist. Mexico hasseveral major industries dealing with silver, cotton, coffee, petroleum, mineral renes, and fuel.! Mexico is a big city with a big population. People enjoy living in this city because of its richculture, abundant economic resources, and variety of interesting things that one can do.

My rst visit to Mexico City wastruly memorable. Last March, my
family and I decided to go there for a
three-day vacation. I didnt want togo at rst because I thought it was
going to be very boring. However, atthe hotel, I overheard a girl saying
that Mexico City is one of the cities
with the largest and most modernshopping malls in Latin America. I
couldnt contain my excitement afterhearing that. I asked my mom to
accompany me to El Palacio de
Hierro, one of the largest shoppingmalls in Mexico City. The place was
amazingly huge with its ve-storybuilding made of iron and steel. I got
home tired but happy with all my
purchases.
Then & Now
My Visit to Mexico City
In the past, Aztec capital of Tenochtitln stood on an island in Lake Texcoco, which is now the center of
Mexico City. During this time, people made some measures to protect the city and to expand it by drainingLake Texcoco and the other lakes. However, draining the lakes and the artisan wells made the water table solow that the surface crust of the land had a hard time supporting the citys heavier buildings. This made theland sink to about 4 to 12 inches a year. Some of the citys finer buildings like the old cathedral, which wasbuilt in 1553, got damaged. During the colonial times, Mexico Citys landscape was mainly used for miningactivities. In the 1930s, the construction industry grew because of the presence of sandbanks in the area.Meanwhile, in 1970s , the people made an urban development plan for the area. An industrial zone wasmade to provide jobs to the locals and to develop import substitution. However, this plan did not consider how putting residential areas would affect the lands capacity to carry water or drainage out of the area. Inthe 1980s, many of the landfills were closed so that buildings could be constructed. In 1982, Mexicochanged from industrial to residential when Universidad Iberoamericana built on the land donated by theSanta Fe unity government. In the 1990s, shopping malls and toll highways were built. This made MexicoCity, which includes the capital district and almost 50 smaller cities very populated with people. Slums havegrown in numbers because more people wanted to move in to the city to find jobs. Although Mexico City ispresently the largest in the world, it suffers from overcrowding since it has become the center of commercial,industrial, financial, political, and cultural center of the nation.

THE IMPACTS ON THE PAST AND PRESENT
Dubai used to be a plain old desert near theTrucial Coast. Many European countries likePortugal, France, the British ( UK ), and The Dutchused Dubai as a trading route to the East andIndia. However some people used to see Dubai as a diminutive shing town and pearling centerbecause it was located near the sea. All of thatchanged with the unexpected discovery of giganticamount of oil in Dubai in 1966. Dubai was soonbooming with money when the oil export began in1969. They worked with many oil industries inorder to get all the potential benets from their oildiscovery. As a result, the money and the oilboosted the economy and transformed Dubai froman old shing village to one of the worlds most
futuristic city. Today, Dubai has become one of themost develop city in the world. In fact the city of Dubai is now rapidly growing to be the worldsmost excellent tourism and economic core. Otherthan that the money they received from the oilhelped them become one of the wealthiest citiesand leaders in the U.A.E. All of this wouldnt have
happened if Dubai didnt discover the oil in 1966.All in all Dubai is a treasure waiting to be found.
POPULATION & RESOURCES
The rst record of the city of Dubais existence was in 1095, on the south of the Persian Gulf. Many mer -chants would settle in Dubai, as it was long a great trading route. But some people in the past would go toDubai as it had many water related activities such as shing, pearling, o ff shore trading and more. Thoughthere were many opportunities or things to do in the past, Dubai only attracted a population of 10,000 peo -ple. Things have changed since then. Dubai is no longer the old shing city it used to be. In fact, today Dubaiis considered to be one of the most innovative cities in the world. Millions of people/expats migrate to Dubaias it has tons of opportunities and possibilities. Many of which are job opportunities ( long and short term ),free tertiary education, a multi -cultural city, and it is almost crime free. The population has risen greatly be -cause of this. As of 2008 the population of Dubai was 3,410,737 people, which includes many di ff erent nation -alities, such as Emirati, Arabian, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Filipino, Sri Lankan, Europeans, and Ameri -cans. Not only did Dubai caught the eyes of millions of people, Dubai also attracted many world knowncompanies like Dubai Petroleum Company, Al Futtaim corp., and the Galadari corp. With so many peopleand companies coming to this city, paradise of endless opportunities is the only statement that can describeDubai in this situation.

Do you know that the city of Dubai was almost nothing ten years ago?In fact, Dubai was just a hopeless deprived desert near the sea. Thelandscape was pretty barren to tell you the truth. There was nothing
spectacular to see, just plain old sand and with tons of rocks scatteredaround.
Today, Dubai is no longer what it was before since it found oil as ahuge part of its economy and growth. By selling their oil to othercountries, Dubai has been receiving a lot of funds to construct variousbuildings and other development facilities on their land. Now thereare many skyscrapers as tall as mountains, shopping centers, roadsstretching as far as the eye can see, and buildings clustered all overthe landscape. This new transformed landscape has attracted many of
the worlds people causing an economical boost and many nancialbenets for Dubai. This city is like a graceful buttery who justbloomed out from its cocoon.

Unbelievable! Just visiting Dubai was just simply mind -blowing. It was like stepping through heaven for the rst time. There are just so many things to do down there.Let me tell you I couldnt get enough of it. Staying at the hotel, Burj Al Arab was justsplendid. Although it was a bit pricy, they treated me with rst class hospitality and
excellent cuisine. After that I went to this unimaginable indoor ski resort called SkiDubai. At rst when I saw this place I was so abbergasted that I said Oh my gosh!There is a ski resort in Dubai; where everyday it is hot and sunny all the time? That is sototally amazing! So I rushed in, and found my self in this place with snow everywhere.It looked so realistic that I thought I was in the North Pole or something. Though thehotel and the ski resort were awesome, the thing about Dubai that really caught my attention was how this city is very cosmopolitan. Most people living here were mostly
from a diff
erent country, I could sense how Dubai is very international. Also most of thefoods here are based on Western, Asian, or Arabian food. I got to taste the best of 3orlds, that my stomach was soon hungry for more. However my hunger for these foods were beaten out by my cravingsr shopping. Buying and shopping is essential when visiting this city. Why do you think its called Do Buy! I boughtyself some nifty devices and souvenirs for my friends and family at home. I can almost nd everything in Dubai. Iopped for hours till I was too tired to continue. My time in Dubai is done. I wish I could stay longer but I cant. Let mel you, Dubai is like mega mall that will bring its customers endless joy.
Dubai is a bucket full of joy that will never cease to astound you. This city has risenfrom the dark and into the limelight. In fact Dubai was just a hopeless deprived desertnear the sea a hundred years ago. The landscape was pretty barren to tell you thetruth. All of that changed with the unexpected discovery of gigantic amount of oil inDubai in 1966. People were so amazed on how fast Dubai has grown ever since then.There is no limit to Dubais growth. You can now nd sky scrapers as tall asmountains, road stretching as far as the eye can see, and buildings clustered all overthe land in Dubai. Not only did the landscape change but also the population hasbeen owing with tons of visitors. As of 2008 the population of Dubai was 3,410,737people, which includes many di ff erent nationalities and cultures. Some of thesenationalities are Emirate, Arabian, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Filipino, SriLankan, Europeans, and Americans. This city can be described as cosmopolitan,considering this city is like a garden ourishing with success. There is so much thingsto explore in Dubai, most of which are from it fascinating past to its unbelievablecurrent gure, and the entertaining possibilities that are found there.
Dubai oh Dubai, you amazeme without saying goodbye.
Why oh why, do you mesmerizeme to buy!

It was erected on the Hadshin River andthe beautiful city of Prague is known as the mother of the city or Magical Prague withits complex old buildings and industrial solid base. All of this changed when Hitler andhis Nazi army came and invaded thecity. This decreased the populationfrom before. Now the population inPrague is 1.21 million people. Prague ismixed with Czechs, Germans andIsraelis. Long time ago, Prague wasfamous for having foreign materials as all theunusual materials were shipped to a placecalled Old Town. Have you ever wonderedif the Old Town in Prague was built forsomething else a long time ago?? It was abig central market where manymerchants visited. Today, manytourists come and visit the historical buildings. You wouldnt see any merchants thereanymore! Instead, there will be many people with cameras in their hands!

How did Peoplechange thelandscape?Have you ever wondered if the Old Town
in Prague was built for something else along time ago?? Old town in the past was
a big central market. Many items fromother foreign countries were sold in theOld Town. The Old Town was built a littleafter the thirty year war. In 1918, when
Czech was declared as independent, angrymobs of people came to old town anddestroyed the famous monument, the Jun
Hus monument. After the destroying of the monument, People started buildinghouses, churches and gothic buildings.
Today, the old town in Prague is the mostvisited places in the world. Many touristscome to see the old churches andbuildings. I have been to old town with my
family and I thought it was very beautiful. Ithink you should go and visit this historicaltown. Just be aware that there are a few
pick pockets! But dont worry it is still anexciting place to visit with many friendly
service and things to see.
Prague is a smoothie blended with History, People andculture. The city of Prague was established in A.D 800 bythe Slovakian tribe. Prague is located in Central Europe
near the Poland border and was erected on the HadshinRiver. In the past, People came to this city for safety. Manypeople migrated to Prague during the great Migration whenthe African Americans migrated to escape from racism.Today in Prague, there are lots of things to do. Many jobsare available and good quality; there are good restaurants,entertainment and amazing education. Today, people cometo this capital because it is clean, beautiful and there is agood mix of cultures. The population in this town is about
2 million people and there are Czechs, Slovakians, German,American and Israeli. The major industries or business inPrague is Prague airlines. The second biggest are restaurantservers or hotel managers. They both have tourist industryas they serve for tourists. Today, people come to Prague forits beauty, delicious beer and extraordinary historicalbridges and buildings. Visiting Prague myself, I think the foodthere is delicious and if you go on a tour it is an awesomerst class expedition with lots of excitement. Therefore, thename of my city is now Magical Prague or the mother of the cities for its exquisiteness, freshness and marvelousfairy-tale setting.

popular, Prague was stillgorgeous as the bright lightsin New York Time Square.Then everything changedwhen WW2 swept the city.Hitler invaded Praguein1939 and 120,000 Jewswere killed. More than 1000
more innocent people werekilled and many of thehistoric buildings weredamaged. After the war, the
destroyed city lost someimportance to the world.
Today, Prague is still a
beautiful country. After afew bumps down the road, itis now a democratic country.Although some things wererebuilt such as the old townto the new town, there aremillions of tourists who visitPrague this day. I have

How PeopleHaveChangedThe
LandscapeThe landscape of LasVegas has drasticallychanged compared tohow it looked a fewdecades ago. Las Vegasuse to be just a big plot
of desert, with a roadrunning through it. Overthe years buildingsstarted to develop aroundLas Vegas. After theHoover Dam was builtmore and more buildingsstarted to go up, becausethe Hoover Dam wasbuilt, this allowed water
to stream to the LasVegas area. Thereforemore and more buildingsin Las Vegas were built,because they had waterand power (electricity).
When gambling waslegalized, Las Vegasbecame a major city, andthat is another reasonwhy they started to buildmore buildings. Sincegambling was legal, lotsof people came there to
enjoy the casinos, so thepeople in Vegas decidedthey should have morehotels, casinos, and moreplaces that people wouldenjoy. Some of thosehotels are very famouslike The Wynn Hotel.Now since there are morethings to enjoy in Las
Vegas, there are moretourists that come tovisit. Compared tobefore the population hasincreased by a lot!

Las Vegas used to be a small city not as big as it isnow. The roads werent as big and busy back then
compared to now. There was not that much to do inVegas but, now there is more to do. The sidewalkswere small and the roads were bigger compared tonow. When you walk through the sidewalks thereare stores at the side when you look to the left or tothe right you would see small stores, in betweenthe stores and the sidewalks the road would bethere. Some places still are like that but most of theplaces to shop at are malls now. There werentmuch tall buildings then just short buildings, noweverywhere there are hotels, apartment buildings,malls, and ofce buildings. Then everythingchanged once gambling was legalized in LasVegas. They got gambling to be legal because,
around that time The Hoover Dam was being built.Since most of the workers building The Hoover
Dam were males, the Las Vegas Business Dealersand some Mobsters decided to put up a few casinosfor them to enjoy. So the workers would go to thecasinos when they had time. Now the Hoover Damis built, and there are so many things to enjoy inLas Vegas. As a result, the city of Las Vegas hasabout 39 million people going there to gamble andwatch some shows they have like the musicals theyput on at night, Cirque Du Soleil, and there aremany other things you can do in Las Vegas. Nowthere are over 122 casinos in Las Vegas.

I love Las Vegas! It is just amazing! Everywhere you look you will see beautiful bright lights!You can take a stroll through the streets, look at all the great restaurants, and every shop you seewill make you want to stop and take a look at what they have. I spent a weekend there, and therst thing I really wanted to do was go to Caesars Palace. It was wonderful! I stopped by nearly
every shop! I ate a nice Italian restaurant, the food was delicious I loved their pasta! There are abillion of great places to go to! My favorite stop was probably The Stratosphere Tower it gaveme a great scream! The rides where so fun! You are at the top of the building and there is a fewrides that will really scare you, and make you want to scream as loud as you can. It felt like Iwas about to fall out of the building! I stayed at the Wynn hotel and it was just amazing! Thebed was so comfy, and the rooms were so great! My view was astounding! I saw everythingfrom there, and it was just amazing! Next time your looking for a place to go for a weekend, Istrongly suggest Las Vegas.- Erin

Past...Present
Beijing used to be asmall site wherepeople hunted andraised life stock. Itlay on the Main
route betweenMongolias plainsand rich farm lands.Many people alsotraded. Some
centuries later, their territory grew. The capital wascalled Chi. More invaders came so they had to haveChi warriors to defend their land. Then everythingchanged when the Mongols and other invaders gainednfinite strength. Beijings warriors were weak in
comparison. Their land was also getting destroyed.After tiresome years of fighting the people decided tomake the Great Wall of China. After the Great Wallwas built the invaders had a tough time invading. Butat the same time, many were killed from exhaustionrom making the Wall. The Great Wall was completedn the Sui Dynasty (581-618 A.D.) A lot of the fell
down at that time, but was repaired during the Ming
Dynasty(1368-1644A.D.)Beijingarchers couldshoot arrowsfrom the topof the wall to
their enemies, but itwas hard for the invaders to killthe archers because they were so high up in theair. As a result China enjoyed many years of peace.Beijing is now also a wonderful city. Even theSummer Olympics of 2008 were held in Beijing! TheGreat Wall is not only a national monument, but alsothe largest man-made structure on this entire planet.You can even faintly see it from outer space. It
stretches across the mountains of Northern China.Tourists from all over the world come to see it. Theamounts of tourists coming are like people runningaway from Godzilla. Everyone is shoving and pushingeach other to take a look at this ancient monument.
Beijing Population-
The city of Beijing wasestablished way back to the11th century by the WesternZhou Dynasty. It was locatedon the Northern Tip of theNorth China Plain. It is verymountainous there, so Beijing
is full of mountains, like thereare people in China. But somepeople wonder, whats soexcellent about Beijing. Well,in Beijing you can watchtraditional Chineseperformances (Beijing Opera),Chinese Drama, acrobatics,and go to teahouses. Also inBeijing there are Traditional
Beijing restaurants. For foreigners, some taxi driverseven speak some English. You
may think it is going to be
hard to communicate inBeijing, but guess what;English speakers cover thecity like stars in the sky. Thereare also some superior universities and hospitals.Two main industries inBeijing are called BeijingCapital Co. Ltd., and BeijingHyundai Motor Co. Ltd. Thatis why some families come toBeijing because the Man of the House gets transferred toone of these cooperations.The population of Beijing is13.82 million people as of 2000. For the ages in Beijing,from 0-14 years old there are1.878 million people whichare equal to 13.6% of thepopulation. For 15-64 yearsold there are 10.786 millionpeople which are equal to
78% of the population.
Finally, 65 years old and upare 1.155 million which isequivalent to 8.4% of thepopulation as of the year 2000. The main ethnic groupsare Hui, Manchu, Mongolia,and Korea. The main religionsin Beijing are Buddhism andDaoism even though Beijingisnt a religious city. Thereforenow Beijing is a multi-culturalcountry.

The Great Wall-Change to theLandscapeBeijing is the home to oneof the seven wonders of our world. The Great Wall
of China! The Chinese Government is trying to savethis ancient monument that brings joyful and gloomymemories to the Chinese and foreign people. Thisancient monument has slowly crumbled after
hundreds of years of fighting threw war and protectingthe Chinese people. The Great Wall has helped Chinanot only for protection. They have become famous!This wall has also given Beijing many, many moretourists. But, more commonly now the Chinese
Government has to try to keep this wonder standing.When we run back to the past, if Qin Shi Huangdinever thought of this idea, the Chinese history couldhave been terrible; many lives could have been lost. If the Chinese Government never cared about this, younever know, it could have crumbled ten years ago!
Things NOT to Miss Forbidden City:
A palace that has 9,000 roomsand covers 250 acres of landthat was built between1406-1420. Dont worrythough, it has been burned
down, rebuilt, and renovatedsince then. The Great Wall of
China:A wall that is as long as 600km. Your hiking time wouldtake about two and a half hours. So its a good way tospend your morning beforelunch or afternoon.
Temple of Heaven:
It is one of the most holyplaces in China for more thanfive centuries.
The Ming Tombs:It close to the Great Wall, soyou can visit both in one day.
Hutongs:You can take ancienttransportation tools in this
area. Olympic Sites:
You can visit the BeijingOlympic site that took place in2008.
Beijing Roast Duck:You can try thus delicioustraditional dish. It may notsound delicious, but tastebefore you think!
Beijing Opera:Beijing Opera is a number of stylized actions, including
singing, dancing, dialogue andacrobatic fighting to tell a storyor present different charactersand their feelings of happiness, anger, sorrow,surprise, fear and sadness.

Dennis says...There are some things
that are just tricky to explain.When I traveled to Beijing myjaw dropped as the Great Wall of China and other monumentsstood strongly in front of me.Their specialness that made
them unique compared to other monuments, made them sparklein the suns ray. The Great Wall really stood out compared to the other places. If I looked one way, it was in ruins, but in the other side it was a beautiful sight. I would sometimes imagine how it was likewhen the Chinese warriors were fighting, the
archers shouting thousands of red arrows at theMongol warriors. People crying in pain. After hours, days, months of fighting, the Chinesewarriors yelling in triumph. As the long battle ended for a while. I would sometimes run across this wall for what felt like a century, but then finding out it islonger than I expected, still seeing the long trail infront of me. As I started walking back, I glanced
over the edge and saw thousands of shrubs. I thenlooked up into the sky. Thinking that people can seethis wall from outer space; I am standing on one of the seven wonders of this world.
SO COME...
Lose yourself in awe at one of themost ancient, but yet amazing citieson this planet. This historic cityholds one of the seven wonders of this world, the Great Wall of China.This long-standing monument hasslowly crumbled after hundreds of years of fighting threw war andprotecting the Chinese people. It isnot used as a shield, but now is aworld-wide phenomenon. Everyoneis shoving and pushing each other totake a look at this ancientmonument. One main inconvenienceabout traveling to a foreign countryis communicating. So, if yourethinking they dont know Englishits pretty normal. Most peoplespeak some level of English becauseEnglish speakers cover the globelike stars in the sky. Beijing bringsso much joy to tourists that they
dont want to leave. So come visitBeijing and have the time of your life!

Connectionto the pastand presentLondon used to havequite a large contrastbetween rich andpoor. Diseases werenot rare but quitecommon and easy tocatch. In poor areasthere were a lot of gangs and crimewhich were
unfortunately verycommon, while therich had grand, posh,
beautiful andcarefully designedbuildings. Theneverything changed at1:00am in a smallbake shop. A servantwoke up to find it
aflame. At this timemost houses weremade of wood andthe London areacontained quite a fewflammable items. TheGreat Fire soon andeasily spreadthroughout most of
London. The greatfire burned mostmedieval buildings
and some famousarchitecture. The firebrought both positiveand negative results.A negative is thatpeople had lostfamily members and
loved ones, their onlyhomes had beendestroyed, and theyhad lost valuablesitems the mean theworld to them. On apositive view, someof the city wasreplaced with
beautiful magnificentchurches, such as StPauls Cathedral,
which now is quitethe tourist magnet.There were also somenew, modern andlarge building, tokeep business and theeconomy running.
Now London has amix of modern,wealthy and oldsculptures andbuildings.

How people have changed the landscape
The landscape of London has dramatically changed compared from how it looked a century ago.Before London was denitely not as wealthy compared to now. This picture shows how Londoncontained many markets and cheap selling stalls. These many stalls were convenient to people withnot a lot of money. London was a humid and wet city, and often quite cold. There were huge classdifferences for the people living in London. It was not exactly the matter of how you lived it wasmore about living its self. The land was quite at, with no mountains at all. Not many peoplerealized the amount of money you could make with all the land.
Today London has a much larger population in both migrates and tourists. There are now propershops and modern buildings. London now has a lot of stone grounds. The reason people changed
the landscape was because more people would equal more money causing a higher, stronger andbetter economy. Now people take advantage of Londons at landscape and build. They build allkind of ofce buildings. London now is known to be quite an up market city and holds a verystrong and wealthy rating to visitors and people that live there.

Effects of the Past on the Present: Shanghai
Shanghai used to be a peaceful shing
village and the center of countygovernment. The people of Shanghai built
walls around the city to protect themselves
from the Japanese pirates in 1553. Duringthe Qing Dynasty, Shanghai became one ofthe most important seaports in the Yangtze
delta region. This was because of twoimportant central government policy
changes. Emperor Kangxi (16621723) in1684 reversed the prohibition on ocean
going vessels. In 1732 Emperor Yongzhengmoved the customs ofce for Jiangsu
province from the capital of Songjiang cityto Shanghai, and gave Shanghai private
control over customs collections for JiangsuProvinces foreign trade. Then, everything
changed in the Japan-China War.
Shanghai was destroyed economically,and physically. A number of Shanghai
citizens evacuated the city. Japanesetroops invaded China on July 07, 1937. The
British left control of China, and Japan tookover. Japan dropped bombs in the Bund in
Shanghai, and elsewhere in concessions,and destroyed a big portion of the city, and
China
The Japan-China war ended on
September 9, 1945. As a result, the city ofShanghai was destroyed, but after a couple
years, they are now enjoying years of
peace, and Shanghais citizens thatevacuated have returned. Even thoughBritain took control of China again, they left
control again in 1991. The PeoplesRepublic of China (PRC) is asking the
citizens of Shanghai to clean up the city.Shanghai was able to rebuild back the
economy in 1978, and fortunately, theyinvested huge amounts of money in an
overhaul of crumbling infrastructure andShanghai regained its outward looking
character, is a bustling city and is now thecurrent Pearl of the Orient and The Paris
of the East!

Landscape in
Shangha i
Did you know that the
city of Shanghai used to bea shing village in the past
way, way back? What usedto be a shing village is now
a bustling city withmarvelous sights to see,
with bigger and betterbuildings than before.
People changed thelandscape so that they can
attract people fromelsewhere, and to bring
people into the city. As youcan see, the picture on the
right side of this paragraphshows the old city of
Shanghai in 1990.
A lot of things have
changed in the past 20years. For example, the
shing village that used tobe Shanghai is now a
favorable port location. Thefamous district of Pudong,
used to be a body of water.You will barely see any
shing boats in the ocean.(Aside from the places that
are actually meant forshing) Shanghai has now
more roads and highwayscompared to before. Look at
the picture on the right side,
and compare it with the
picture on the bottom.Because of the changes that
occurred, Shanghai is nowknow as the Playground of
China!!
