ShangHai (上海)

Shanghai was used to be just a small fishing village during late Qing Dynasty. However, after loosing the war to Anglo-France alliance, the Qing government were forced to pay all the compensation to these 2 countries, include ceding territory. In the end, Shanghai was ceded out as a France and British concession. Hence, you might find ShangHai has the most complete ancient architecture from both the French and Brittish.
