A brief introduction to Shanghai

A modern metropolis of over 1,000 high-rises, archaic temples, and one of the richest collections of Art Deco architecture in the world, Shanghai is a fascinating blend of old and new.

For an up-close view of Shanghai’s wondrous skyline, take a trip to the city’s central waterfront area - The Bund. Here, you’ll be able to see some of the city’s most iconic buildings and skyscrapers such as the Shanghai and Jinmao Towers, and the World Financial Center. This area is also renowned for its signature Art Deco architecture, which dates back to the 1930s.

Many ancient temples can also be found in Shanghai, such as the City God Temple built during the Ming Dynasty. A 3-minute walk away is Yu Garden, which boasts the Exquisite Jade Rock - a 3.3 metre-tall boulder rumoured to have been a gift for Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.

We also recommend enjoying Shanghai’s renowned cuisine. Some of the city’s notable dishes include Xiaolongbao steamed dumplings and spice-heavy smoked fish slices.
