It is a part of the alluvial plain in the Yangtze River Delta, between east longitude12052'-12212' and north latitude 30 40'-3 1 53'.

About 6000 years ago, the west of Shanghai became land. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shanghai was the fief of Chun, so Shanghai was nicknamed Shen. In the Jin Dynasty, because fishermen created the fishing tool Hu, the place where the river flowed into the sea was called Hu, so the lower reaches of Songjiang River was called Hu, and later it was changed to Shanghai, so Shanghai was called Shanghai for short.
