CNNGo, the ultimate insider's guide to Asia's greatest cities, is going multilingual, rolling out simultaneously in traditional Chinese (www.cnngo.com/hongkong/chinese), simplified Chinese (www.cnngo.com/shanghai/chinese) and Japanese (www.cnngo.com/tokyo/jp). This means that visitors to CNNGo's Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong sections have the choice to read our content in English or in the predominant local language. The sites build on the success of CNNGo.com and are to bring local flavour in local language through original content written and produced by native insiders in each of the cities.

CNNGo's local language editorial team, bloggers, and contributors kick off the summer by pulling together its first list in Chinese for "Shanghai's Ten Hottest Summer Superstars". These sizzling personalities from the worlds of music, sports, film and fashion are put in the spotlight as they tell how they heat up the city in their own unique ways.

Below (in no particular order) are five individuals on the list, to view the complete list of "Shanghai's Ten Hottest Summer Superstars", go to www.cnngo.com/shanghai/chinese.
 

1. Miroslav Blazevic, coach of Shanghai Shenghua FC Football Club
2. Shanghai World Expo Volunteers
3. Zhangke Jia, director of Shanghainese documentary I wish I knew
4. Nairong Qian, author of the Shanghainese dictionary
5. Jerry Tian, owner of shoe shop Culture Matters

Also launching CNNGo's simplified Chinese site is a feature on "The Best Movies in Shanghai Cinema This Summer", interviewing four movie experts in Shanghai, from the head of a cinema line to the owner of a movie-themed restaurant. They tell you what is not to be missed in the cinema this season.

On top of local language feature stories, a listing section details the best places to Eat, Visit, Shop, Drink. From a shopping spree at European designers filled Les Lucioles, dinner at Tian De Yi Jia at Bund 18 or ear-ringing ambiance at Mao Livehouse, the simplified Chinese listing section clearly navigates for locals and visitors alike the perfect places to spend a day in Shanghai.

With content provided by local professional writers, journalists, video/photographers, bloggers and more, CNNGo utilises their on-the-ground expertise and insider knowledge to provide readers with an authentic local flavour of each city in the local language. Content in English, simplified and traditional Chinese and Japanese is also carried across CNN's other platforms that include on-air, online and on mobile at m.cnngo.com.
