About Shanghai Old City
The Old City area of Shanghai, once surrounded by defensive walls, is the main tourist attraction in Shanghai. The Old City of Shanghai was established in the 11th Century, whilst the rest of Shanghai beyond the Old City developed from the mid 19th Century onward during a period where foreign countries where permitted to operate in China. The Old City is the one part of Shanghai which developed independently of foreign influence.
