A brief introduction to Shanghai

With its beautiful skyline, glitzy retail spaces, and high end dining scene, Shanghai is one of China’s most international and cosmopolitan cities. And beneath its glittering surface, you’ll also find a vast wealth of ancient culture and architectural history waiting to be discovered.

Start your trip by visiting one of the most quintessential Shanghai experiences - The Bund. Known as “the museum of buildings”, this famous waterfront area showcases an impressive collection of art deco architecture, set alongside glistening modern skyscrapers. Keep an eye out for the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the Shanghai Tower, and the Shanghai World Financial Center.

A short walk away, Shanghai’s Old City is home to ancient temples such as the City God Temple of Shanghai, and its adjoining Yu Garden. An icon of the city, the garden was built almost 500 years ago during the Ming Dynasty and hosts the Exquisite Jade Rock, an impressive 3.3 metre high boulder dating back to the 1100s.

We also recommend visiting the French Concession, a historical district that features leafy boulevards, boutique wine bars and cosy cafes. Here, you will also find many of the city’s renowned restaurants serving both international and authentic Chinese cuisine.
