"Amazing Shanghai" story displayed in heart of New York

Shanghai has been called the "New York of the East". This week, the New York of the East has set up temporary residence at New York's iconic Rockefeller Center. "Amazing Shanghai: A Century of Shanghai and Beyond in Pictures" is a traveling outdoor photo exhibition with four themes that tell the story of Shanghai's development, including key historical moments and achievements since Shanghai opened its port in 1843. The exhibition opened Monday and will be on display through Saturday, Sept 21. It is free and open to the public, and located in Midtown Manhattan at both Rockefeller Plaza and the underground Rockefeller Center Concourse. It was organized by the Information Office of Shanghai Municipality to help people develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for the Chinese urban center.
