A child led introduction to Shanghai in China (KS3)

A child led introduction to Shanghai. Shanghai lies at the mouth of the Yangtze river on the coast of the East China Sea and it is one of the busiest port in the world. Shanghai is a modern city with a sophisticated highway and metro system and an endless stream of shipping traffic navigating its way to the East China Sea.

Juewen is a 10-year-old girl who represents the new generation of driven Chinese children. She has a very busy school life and then takes lots of extra classes, travelling round the city on the metro to fit in all her activities. We see her in different lessons like cello, model making (design and technology), Olympic maths, English and calligraphy.
