Pudong is a district in Shanghai, China, located east of the Huangpu River. Originally established in 1870 as an industrial area, it was once a slum. However, Pudong has undergone significant transformation and is now home to some of the world's tallest buildings, including the Jin Mao Tower, the Shanghai World Financial Center, and the Shanghai Tower. The Pudong New District was established in 1993, and the area hosted a major part of the Expo Shanghai 2010 world exposition. This transformation has reshaped Shanghai's skyline and established Pudong as a modern financial and trade hub.12
