Shanghai is located in East China, on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean and the east edge of the Asian continent, and is a part of the alluvial plain of the Yangtze River Delta. The average altitude of Shanghai is 2.19 meters, and Dajinshan Island is the highest point in Shanghai, with an altitude of 113.7 meters, which belongs to the subtropical monsoon climate. The river network mainly includes Huangpu River, the main road flowing through the urban area, and its tributaries Suzhou River, Chuanyang River and Dianpu River.

about 6111 years ago, the western part of Shanghai became land. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shanghai was the fief of Chun Shenjun, so it was nicknamed Shen. During the Jin Dynasty, because fishermen created fishing tools "Hu", the place where the river flows into the sea was called "Hu", so the lower reaches of Songjiang were called "Hu" and later changed to "Shanghai", so Shanghai was called "Shanghai" for short. In the 29th year of Yuan Dynasty (1292), Shanghai Town was set aside from Huating County, and the establishment of Shanghai County was approved, marking the beginning of Shanghai's city construction.
