上海有壹種任何城市都無法比擬的氣質，就是她的"洋氣"。1843年上海開埠，形成了她五方雜處、中西交融的文化特色。上海的新興的金融證券、期貨交易、外匯和技術等全國性市場的建立，確立了上海作為全國資源配置中心的地位，同時也加快了上海經濟與國際接軌的步伐。2001年10月，APEC會議在上海舉行，上海作為新世紀國際經濟、金融、貿易中心之壹的地位已初步確立！
今日的上海，是壹座極具現代化而又不失中國傳統特色的海派文化都市。繁華的大上海處處顯現著她的獨特魅力，令人著迷——外灘老式的西洋建築與浦東現代的摩天大廈交相輝映；徐家匯大教堂聖詩聲聲，玉佛寺香煙裊裊；過街樓下的麻將老人，弄堂裏的足球少年；群眾劇場的滬劇、滑稽戲，大劇院的交響樂、芭蕾舞；老飯店的本幫佳肴，杏花樓的廣式粵茶，雲南路的各地小吃，紅房子的法國大菜，小紹興的三黃雞，美國的肯德基；上海老街的茶館，衡山路的酒吧，中西合璧，新歡舊愛，各有各的精彩。夜幕降臨，霓虹閃耀，夜上海粉墨登場，和平飯店的爵士樂，豫園的絲竹音樂，讓人追憶上個世紀二、三十年代老上海的舊夢，而現代迪斯科的節奏，遍地開花的網吧，又把人帶回了21世紀的現代文明……
邁入21世紀的上海，繁榮與開放在這裏播種，東方明珠電視塔、金茂大廈、上海國際會議中心、浦東國際機場，無壹不描繪著國際大都市的開闊前景，21世紀的上海，光榮與夢想在這裏匯合，上海博物館、上海大劇院、城市規劃館，無壹不張揚著國際化大都市的廣博情懷。新世紀的上海是現代化、國際化、時尚化的標本，她將熱情地歡迎著世界各國朋友們的到來！
