Discover Shanghai
with Cathay Pacific

China's glamorous eastern city shimmers with excitement and promise. This supercharged metropolis is the poster child of rapid economic development, but it hasn’t forgotten its past.
An eclectic skyline of modern skyscrapers on one side of the Huangpu river faces off against century-old European architecture on the other, a potent symbol of the diverse attractions you can expect. Dine like an emperor on the city’s outstanding cuisine; shop like a fashionista in huge glitzy malls and boutique markets, then party the night away like a true hedonist. Or enjoy a more leisurely exploration of the city: stroll down the historic Bund, wander through the leafy lanes of the former French Concession, and visit contemporary galleries.

Discover Munich
with Cathay Pacific

A big city with small-town charm, Munich leaves a lasting impression. With its grand city squares, world-class museums, upscale boutiques and lush green spaces, it’s easy to fall in love with the irresistible mix of cultural sophistication and laidback energy.
Beyond the vibrant centre, Munich opens the door to Germany’s wonders – from the majestic Bavarian Alps to Franconia’s fairytale castles and idyllic countryside villages – and beyond. Whether you crave cosmopolitan excitement or pastoral retreats, the city seamlessly blends urban and rural adventures for an unforgettable journey.

Things to do in Shanghai

Escape to Moganshan

A popular summer retreat for city-dwellers about 170 kilometres west of Shanghai, the mountain village of Moganshan is known for bamboo forests, hiking trails and European-style villas. The area also has outdoor adventure resorts, with survival classes, wall climbing, guided hiking tours and hot-air balloon rides.

Step back in time on the Bund

Shanghai’s colonial-era promenade sits on one side of the Huangpu river, its Art Deco grandeur facing off against the glass-and-steel glamour of Puxi on the opposite bank. Overlooking it all is the Fairmont Peace Hotel, a stately landmark which watches over a city that has modernised around it.

See the new face of the West Bund

Once the industrial epicentre of Shanghai, the West Bund has transformed into the city’s museum mile. In this part of Shanghai, must-see cultural landmarks include the Long Museum West Bund and Yuz Museum, as well as world-class art venues such as the Centre Pompidou x West Bund Museum.
