What are the advantages of Shanghai over Beijing?

Both Shanghai and Beijing belong to the first-tier cities in China. They are important political, economic and cultural centers of the country, leading the country's economic and cultural development and representing the trend of the times. However, their development focuses are different. Compared with Beijing, Shanghai itself has some unique advantages.

First of all, from the climatic conditions. Beijing's climate belongs to a typical warm temperate semi-humid continental monsoon climate, with dry and windy spring, high temperature and hot summer, abundant rainfall, cool autumn, cold and dry winter and distinct four seasons. The climate in autumn is the most pleasant, but it is short-lived. I met a girl who was studying in Beijing on the train before. She told us that only ten of the 365 days in a year in Beijing are sunny, and the rest of the time is either windy or hot. Compared with Beijing, the climate in Shanghai is slightly better. Shanghai has a subtropical maritime monsoon climate, with warm spring, hot summer, cool autumn and cold winter. The annual rainfall is moderate and evenly distributed. In addition, Shanghai is close to the ocean, with abundant water vapor and a warm and humid climate.

As far as natural environment is concerned. The environmental pollution in Beijing is serious, and the smog is more serious than all parts of the country. Someone did a survey and recorded the weather in Beijing. It was found that Beijing had been shrouded in smog for more than 300 days. However, Shanghai is close to the ocean, with abundant water vapor, fast air exchange and even annual rainfall distribution, which effectively improves the environmental quality. Because rainfall can remove dust and impurities in the air most effectively, purify the air and beautify the environment.

Geographically speaking, Shanghai has more advantages. As a modern city, although Beijing extends in all directions and has a dense traffic network, as an inland city, far from the sea, it is naturally not as good as a coastal city. Shanghai is located in the Yangtze River Delta, which can connect the inland navigation of the Yangtze River and is adjacent to the ocean. It is an important port city in China, a bulk logistics distribution center for China's import and export goods, and one of the top ten ports in the world, with routes reaching North America, South Africa and Australia. Today, Shanghai Port ranks among the world-class international container hub ports.

As an international metropolis, Shanghai has become a gathering place for elite talents, and their ideas are more open and advanced. A large number of elite talents from all over the country and even all over the world gather here and become a solid talent pool in Shanghai. They have brought more new ideas and ideas to the economic development of Shanghai, and also led the fashion trend of China. Moreover, in order to attract more talents from all over the world, the "Shanghai Green Card" was launched, which also won more high-tech talents for the development of Shanghai.

As the most important economic center in China, Shanghai is closely linked with the world economy. There are hundreds of foreign-invested enterprises in China and many joint ventures with foreign businessmen from all over the world. As a link with the world economy, Shanghai has introduced new international technologies and products, and at the same time, it has also shown the China brand to the whole world. Located in Pudong New Area, Shanghai Stock Exchange is a member of the International Organization of Securities Commissions, the Federation of Asian and Oceania Exchanges and the World Federation of Exchanges.

The future development of Shanghai must be faster and better. As a metropolis in line with the world, it will bring more opportunities and challenges to China's economic development.
