"Shen Shang" has anyone heard of a place called this name?



"Shen Shang" has anyone heard of a place in China called this name? 
 
I am trying to find out where my family is from.  Our oldest relative recently told me he recalls hearing his grandfather mentioning this place before (Shen Shang).  I am not sure about the accuracy of his memory or about the phonetic representation of this location.  This may have been told to my relative using Hakka, Cantonese, or possibly even a Mandarin pronounciation. 
 
As some background information.  My great grandfather immigrated to Hawaii from China in 1883.  No immigration records are available and all his children have since passed away.  I am desparately trying to find my family's hometown in China.  Can anyone help?
