Location

Known for its economic prowess and long history of foreign influence, Shanghai is the country's financial and industrial capital. The last decade has seen massive development in this metropolis of 18 million people; construction of the city's infrastructure and transportation system is constant. With an elevated light rail, the world's first commercial high-speed maglev train, and five subway lines, the city boasts one of the fastest growing rapid transit systems in the world. Those in search of old Shanghai, however, can still find the legacy of its magnificent past.

Established in 1998, the CIEE Study Center in Shanghai is located at East China Normal University, which is centrally located and close to Shanghai's large commercial areas.
