"Time Out" Shanghai 
Synopsis : Shanghai is rapidly en route to becoming the economic and cultural powerhouse not just of China, but of all Asia. Recognized as the world's fastest growing cities, it's a place where skyscrapers sprout weekly, where the world's fastest train is shortly to come into service and where to do something immediately is considered sluggish. Boundless energy, technological advancement and cash, cash, cash make Shanghai buzz like perhaps no other city in the world. The first edition of this Time Out guide is written by a team of resident experts and local journalists who have scoured Shanghai from the early morning farmers' market at Xiangyang to the clubs of Guandii at dawn to present the complete picture of this city in flux.
Paperback 256 pages (November 4, 2004); Publisher: Time Out Group Ltd
