A brief introduction to Shanghai
A modern metropolis, Shanghai is one of China’s most cosmopolitan cities and boasts futuristic high-rises set against a backdrop of ancient Chinese history.
Start your journey by visiting The Bund - Shanghai’s famed waterfront area. Here, you’ll get a close-up view of the city’s stunning skyline and endless skyscrapers, including the famed Shanghai and Jinmao Towers.
Shanghai is also home to a variety of ancient temples, including the sacred City God Temple that was built during the Ming Dynasty. Right around the corner, you will find Yu Garden that is home to the Exquisite Jade Rock, a 3.3 metre tall boulder said to be a gift for the Huizong Emperor in the 1100s.
We also recommend visiting the French Concession - a charming area renowned for its tree-lined avenues, live music, and independent boutiques. Be sure to indulge in one of the district’s many traditional dumpling restaurants or European style cafes.
