A brief introduction to Shanghai
China’s economic powerhouse, Shanghai is an international metropolis that fuses futuristic buildings with ancient Chinese culture accented by a mouth-watering food scene.
Start your journey with a trip to the Bund - Shanghai’s world famous waterfront area. Here, you can find historical buildings lining one side of the Huangpu River, and modern skyscrapers on the other, such as The Shanghai Tower and The Pearl Tower.
In the centrally-located Old City, you can enjoy abundant natural sights at 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.
Another area worth visiting is the beautiful Zhujiajiao Ancient Town Scenic Area in the south-central part of the city. While you are there, you can enjoy some of Shanghai’s tastiest dishes such as Xiaolongbao steamed dumplings and smoked fish slices.
