Shanghai is located on the coast of the East China Sea and lies right on the East Asian–Australasian Flyway. Other areas in Lingang are starting to be covered with factories (Tesla) and residential buildings. After all, China`s President Xi Jinping recently stated that “We must protect this planet like our own eyes”.
