A brief introduction to Shanghai

Filled with more than 1,000 high-rises, plush hotels, and luxury shopping malls, Shanghai is one of China’s most international cities. It’s also home to a wealth of history and one of the richest collections of Art Deco architecture in the world.

For the quintessential view of Shanghai’s stunning skyline, start your journey with a trip to the city’s famed waterfront - the Bund. Here, you can see the city’s most important buildings and skyscrapers, including Shanghai Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, and the Jinmao Tower.

In contrast to modern Shanghai, you can also find ancient temples such as the City God Temple of Shanghai and its adjoining Yu Garden in Shanghai’s Old City. Built almost 500 years ago 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.

For a bit of culture - the French Concession is a must-see. This district is teaming with tree-lined streets, cosy cafes, and artsy boutiques, and is a great area for shopping and dining.
