Officially known as the Pudong New Area or Pudong, is an area east of the Huangpu River. It is called Pudong because dong in Mandarin Chinese means east. Since 1990, Pudong has become the New Open and Economic Zone and emerged as the financial and commercial center of China. The Pudong skyline is home to several iconic buildings. These are the Oriental Pearl Tower, Jin Mao Building, and the Shanghai World Financial Center. In 2015, the Shanghai Tower will be added to the Pudong skyline.
