São Paulo（圣保罗）

São Paulo overwhelms the senses with its sheer size.With over 10 million inhabitants，it is Brazil's third largest city and the largest city in South America.São Paulo and its rival Brazilian city，Rio de Janeiro，have often been compared to New York and Los Angeles respectively.If Rio has gained fame for its striking natural setting，São Paulo's attraction lies in its people and its vibrant cultures.The Avenida Paulista's canyon of upthrusting skyscrapers only hints at the city's sources of energy.A more cosmopolitan city than its counterpart，São Paulo possesses significant ethnic minority communities，including substantial Japanese，Italian，and Arab and Lebanese Christian neighbourhoods.

The array of nationalities living in São Paulo has made it a legendary city among gourmands：Japanese，Italian nuova cucina，Brazilian，Chinese，Jewish，and Arab restaurants are all familiar parts of the city's landscape.Brazil's famously good beef is put to good use at the numerous rodizios and churrascarias.Succulent，roasted cuts of meat are circulated around the tables and cut to patrons'order.In fact，people often visit São Paulo just to dine out.The Jardins district is the center of the dining scene，and thus the center of the São Paulo social scene.Paulistanos eat late—restaurants often don't begin serving until 9：00 p.m.or 10：00 p.m.，and it is common for them to stay open until 3：00 a.m..

圣保罗是世界第三大城市和南美洲最大的城市。圣保罗和里约热内卢经常被比作纽约和洛杉矶。圣保罗的吸引力在于它的人民和充满活力的文化。圣保罗拥有大量的少数民族社区，包括大量的日本、意大利、阿拉伯和黎巴嫩基督教社区。(https://www.daowen.com)
