Summary "Le Tour du Monde; Shangaï, la métropole chinoise" by Various is a collection of travel articles written in the early 20th century. This piece likely focuses on the vibrant and complex city of Shanghai during a time when it was becoming a significant hub for international trade, reflecting both its rich cultural heritage and colonial influences. The book includes observations about the city's various districts, drawing contrasts between the traditional Chinese areas and the foreign-controlled concessions. At the start of the book, the author provides a descriptive overview of Shanghai, highlighting its historical significance and geographical features. The narrative details the city's evolution from an industrial center over centuries into a bustling metropolis shaped by foreign presence. It discusses the distinct characteristics of different parts of the city, including the French and international concessions, while bringing to life the sights, sounds, and activities of daily life, including the busy streets filled with unique transport methods like rickshaws and wheelbarrows.
