Shanghai, a municipality directly under the central government of China, is a modern international metropolis with a spirit of inclusiveness, pursuit of excellence, broad-mindedness, and humility.
Located at the estuary of the Yangtze River in East China and facing the Pacific Ocean, Shanghai forms part of the Yangtze River Delta, one of China's most robust, open and innovative regions.
As China's largest economic powerhouse and an important international financial center, Shanghai achieved a GDP of 4.72 trillion yuan in 2023, up 5 percent year-on-year.
Shanghai is also a leading international trade and consumption center. In 2023, Shanghai's total imports and exports amounted to 4.21 trillion yuan, marking a record high, while the city's total retail sales of consumer goods surged by 12.6 percent.
Shanghai is an important global shipping center and an open hub, implementing the RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership) agreement and accelerating the construction of the Waigaoqiao and Hongqiao national import trade promotion and innovation demonstration zones.

Proposed by the Nobel laureate Tsung-Dao Lee and with support and endorsement from governments and ministries at national and municipal levels, Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI) is a basic research institute established at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in November 2016, aiming to build itself as a world-leading science institute.
Resonating with Professor TD's vision, the Institute focuses on the most fundamental science questions and conducts cutting-edge research in physics and astronomy in an effort to shed light on the relationship between the maximum and the minimum in the universe, and the most fundamental and profound laws of interaction in the nature.
By bringing our research to extreme environments or creating extreme conditions, we strive to explore and control exotic and extreme states of matter with extreme detection methods. Eying on the greatest unsolved mysteries of the universe, we are pledged to systemically assemble our teams of close to 100 scientists to carry out pioneering research and collaboration on particle and nuclear physics, astronomy and astrophysics, and condensed matter physics. Today, we’ve witnessed an emergence of innovations and an increasingly active presence in the science community. Looking forward, we envision fostering a supportive, inclusive culture of 桃(táo)李(lǐ)荫(yīn)翳(yì)家(jiā)安(ān)其(qí)所(suǒ) (A verse from ancient poetry describes a harbour with Blossoms and Plentiful Shade, Where Home and Growth Reside.)
