Beijing and Shanghai are the two biggest and most important cities in China. They have a lot in common, such as population and economic development. Ask any Chinese about the difference and you’ll likely get the answer that Beijing is the cultural center of China while Shanghai is the business hub… Beijing is more laid back and Shanghai is fast paced… Beijing is a bit more controlled while Shanghai feels a bit more international and ‘open’. With this program you will be able to experience both and truly understand the differences.
