A brief introduction to Shanghai
China’s economic powerhouse, Shanghai, is a fascinating blend of futuristic buildings and ancient culture, all accented by a mouth-watering food scene.
Start your journey by wandering through the historic streets of Shanghai where you can experience a dynamic mixture of old and new. Make a trip to the Bund, Shanghai’s famous waterfront area, where you can find historical buildings lining one side of the Huangpu River and modern high-rise buildings on the other.
In the centrally-located Old City, you can enjoy abundant natural sights at the exquisite Yu Garden. Built during the Ming Dynasty, this iconic park hosts the Exquisite Jade Rock, a 3.3 metre high boulder said to be a gift for the Huizong Emperor in the 1100s.
If you wish to experience a more tranquil side of Shanghai, Zhujiajiao Ancient Town Scenic Area in the south-central part of the city is a good choice. The area has retained its beautiful historical scenery, making it perfect for a relaxing and culturally immersive stroll. While you are there, be sure to try some of Shanghai’s more iconic dishes such as Xiaolongbao steamed dumplings, and the spice-heavy smoked fish slices.
