If you fancy delving into the historic side of the city, there are plenty of ancient temples to visit, including the City God Temple. Nearby is Yu Garden, which is home to the Exquisite Jade Rock, a 3.3 metre tall boulder that was believed to be a gift for the Huizong Emperor in the 1100s.
The French Concession is also a must-visit area while in Shanghai. This district is filled with tree-lined streets, cosy cafes, and artsy boutiques, and is renowned for its wide range of shops and restaurants.
