全景上海——上海古迹
19世纪中叶，上海因其良好的港口位置而开始展露锋芒，就此走入人们的视线。因此很多人对上海的了解往往只局限于她百年开埠后的繁华，殊不知，早在鸦片战争之前，上海就已有“江海之通津、东南之都会”的称誉。作为一座历史悠久的文化名城，上海境内迄今仍保留着我国自唐、宋、元、明、清以来的诸多历史名胜古迹。它们之中既有展现嘉定州桥历史底蕴的法华塔、嘉定孔庙、汇龙潭，也有历史悠久的宗教建筑——龙华寺、玉佛寺、静安寺，更不乏朱家角、枫泾、七宝等独具江南水乡韵味的吴越名镇。这些历史文化古迹不仅是城市景观的点缀，更丰富着上海这座国际化大都市的历史文化内涵。
however, before the nineteenth century, shanghai was not considered a major city of china. the importance of shanghai grew radically in the nineteenth century, as the city's strategic position at the mouth of the yangtze river made it an ideal location for trade with the west. the city has had various nicknames in english, including "paris of the east" and "queen of the orient". as time passed, shanghai gained its position as an important economic power, a water transport center and an international trading port in china. as a most gorgeously well-known historic cultural city, the amazing city is home to a great many historical attractions or places of interest, with more enriched cosmopolitan initiations.
