What is the nickname of Shanghai?

The nicknames of Shanghai are Shencheng, Magic Capital, Shanghai and Paris in the East.

1, Shanghai's nickname is Shencheng, because Shanghai belongs to the fief of Huang Xie, Shen Jun in the spring of Chu during the Warring States Period, so the name Shen is used.

2. The nickname Magic Capital comes from the best-selling novel Magic Capital by the famous Japanese writer Muramatsu who lived in Shanghai about a century ago.

Introduction to Shanghai:

Shanghai lies between east longitude120 52' and north latitude12212' and north latitude 3153'. Shanghai is located in the east of China, on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, on the eastern edge of the Asian continent and at the front of the Yangtze River Delta. It is adjacent to the East China Sea in the east, Hangzhou Bay in the south, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the west and the Yangtze River estuary in the north. ?

The average altitude in Shanghai is 2. 19 meters, and Dajinshan Island is the highest point in Shanghai, with an altitude of 103.7 meters. Shanghai's river network mainly includes Huangpu River, the main road flowing through the urban area, and its tributaries Suzhou River, Chuanyang River and Dianpu River.

About 6000 years ago, what is now western Shanghai became land. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shanghai was the fief of Chun, so Shanghai was nicknamed Shen. In the Jin Dynasty, because fishermen created the fishing tool Hu, the place where the river flowed into the sea was called Hu, so the lower reaches of Songjiang River was called Hu, and later it was changed to Shanghai, so Shanghai was called Shanghai for short. 1292, the Yuan Dynasty designated Shanghai Town from Huating County and approved the establishment of Shanghai County, marking the beginning of Shanghai's urban construction.
