Shanghai is a city of superlatives, home to the fastest train, the busiest port, and some of the world's tallest skyscrapers. Its iconic skyline of glass towers and futuristic peaks reflects not only ambition but also the speed at which the city evolves. Yet, beneath the modern exterior, daily life continues in familiar ways—clothes drying in the sun and people dancing in public squares. Balancing rapid transformation with a strong sense of identity, Shanghai remains a city that fascinates both visitors and residents. In this spirit, the Instituto Cervantes introduces a new edition of the Shanghai Guide, a free cultural and practical resource available in Spanish.
