HEY Meike - Beijing is a historical and cultural city, the political center and capital of China. Beijing has more traditional culture than shanghai.

While compared with Beijing, Shanghai is like a big melting pot with a population largely made up of migrant. It is popularly seen as the birthplace of everything considered modern in China. It is more western style than Beijing.

As a tourist city, shanghai attracts travelers from both home and abroad by its commercial activities rather than scenic beauty.

Hi, Meike! I’m Van the Man, Benny’s friend. Have you check my place in Bennysland? :-) I’d been living in Beijing for a while and now I’m living in Shanghai. I agree with Benny, that Shanghai is more western style than Beijing. If you’d like to experience Chinese culture, go to Beijing, while if you want to see a modern China, Shanghai probably is the best place to go.

Where are you from, Meike? Would you like to share with us what’s it like living in your country?
