Workation in Shanghai: the essentials
Shanghai began as a fishing village and market town, then grew rich as a treaty port after the First Opium War, and that past is still visible along the Bund and in the plane-tree streets of the former French Concession. Across the Huangpu River, the towers of Pudong mark the financial district. With about 30 million people in the urban area this is China's most populous city, tied together by one of the world's longest metro networks, and coworking spaces are part of its huge office market. Pudong airport is about 40 km from the centre, linked by Maglev and metro. Summers are hot and sticky, and Google, WhatsApp and other Western services are blocked, so set up your tools before you arrive.
