Why is Shanghai called the magic capital?

I have never understood why Shanghai is called "the magic capital". I didn't understand why until I looked through the information. After I have been to Shanghai, I understand why Shanghai is called the magic capital. I don't think Shanghai is one of the most magical cities. The city is more attractive because of its time and history.

According to the information I checked, Magic Capital was one of the nicknames of Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s, and it was a customary name for Shanghai by the Japanese at that time.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Shao Feng Muramatsu, a Japanese writer living in Shanghai, called Shanghai the magic capital for the first time in his best-selling novel Magic Capital. Later, the word Magic Capital was used by many people to describe the complicated world in Shanghai.

Shanghai is one of the international cities in China and one of the port cities in the world. Shanghai plays an important role in the global economy. However, the history of Shanghai is not so calm. As far as I know, the origin of the title "Magic Capital" also says so.

In the 1920s and 1930s, Shanghai Beach was one of the most prosperous places in the world, but it was also a place full of violence and crime. At that time, Shanghai Beach was one of the gambling centers in the world and also the center of illegal drug trafficking. During this period, Shanghai was regarded as a place full of evil and chaos, and was called the "magic capital".

In my opinion, Shanghai is called "Magic Capital" because it used to be a place full of evil and danger in history, and because of its mysterious and supernatural legends, as well as its advanced architectural technology and design concept. Although Shanghai has become very modern and prosperous now, this title is still remembered by people.

Shanghai is one of the representative cities in China, and it is also a city full of vitality and opportunities. However, Shanghai also has its own problems and challenges. Shanghai is called the "magic capital", which is not only an evaluation of Shanghai's history and culture, but also a reflection of Shanghai's current social reality. We should see the advantages and disadvantages of Shanghai and make contributions to its development and progress.
