Shanghai is the largest Chinese
city by population and the largest city proper by population in the world. It
is one of the four direct-controlled municipalities, with a population of more
than 24 million as of 2013. It is a global financial center, and a transport
hub with the world's busiest container port. Located in the Yangtze River Delta
in East China, Shanghai sits at the mouth of the Yangtze in the middle portion
of the Chinese coast. The municipality borders the provinces of Jiangsu and
Zhejiang to the north, south and west, and is bounded to the east by the East
China Sea.
