PUDONG AIRPORT by ancient_traveler
Before the opening of Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport used to be main airport of Shanghai. During the 1990's, the expansion of Hongqiao was impossible when the city grew and surrounded Hongqiao. So then the government had to look for an alternative for Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport to take almost all of its international flights. A particular place was at the coast of the Pudong development zone to the East of Shanghai.
