Pudong

Pudong (Chinese: 浦东; pinyin: Pǔdōng, "Huangpu East Bank") is a state-level new area of Shanghai, China, located along the east side of the Huangpu River, across from the historic city center of Shanghai in Puxi. Formerly a little-developed agricultural area that was linked only by ferries, Pudong has grown rapidly since the 1990s and emerged as China's financial and commercial hub. It is administered mainly as the Pudong New Area, a district of Shanghai.
