Shanghai is a large and prosperous port city located on the east tip of Yangtze River Delta and halfway along China’s eastern coastline.

Shanghai covers an area of 6,340.5 square kilometers and has an altitude between three and five meters. The city has a slightly higher coastal area in the east and a lower hinterland to the west, with plains covering most areas in its middle and east part. The city also has a few hills and small mountains in the southwest districts. Moreover, there are some offshore islands in the area such as Dajinshan Island, Xiaojinshan Island, and Fushan Island.

The water network inside the city is the densest and the most developed in China, with a lot of rivers and lakes providing sufficient water to facilitate transportation and irrigation. The Yangtze River running eastwards to the sea through the north suburbs of the city is one of the main rivers. Huangpu River, the ‘Mother River of Shanghai,’ is the last main tributary of the Yangtze River, contributing a lot to the city’s transportation. Dianshan Lake is the largest freshwater lake in the west Qingpu District, producing various aquatic products.

Natural resources are not abundant in the region, with only cultivated crops, trees, and flowers being present. Shanghai also lacks mineral resources and energy sources, with only crude oil and natural gas being found in the offing of East China Sea and south Yellow Sea nearby.
