About Shanghai
China's largest city and commercial capital, at the mouth of the Yangtze. Trade, finance and manufacturing make it the country's busiest business market.
Population about 23,000,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Shanghai is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
