A brief introduction to Shanghai
An iconic skyline, ancient temples, and a vast array of shopping options, Shanghai is a vibrant metropolis that offers memorable experiences to all who visit.
To enjoy scenic views of the city’s towering skyscrapers, visit the renowned waterfront area - the Bund, where you can marvel at stunning landmarks such as the Shanghai Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, and the Jinmao Tower.
Amongst all the futuristic buildings, Shanghai also boasts many historic temples. We recommend visiting the Old City where you will find the City of God Temple and its adjoining Yu Garden. Built during the Ming Dynasty, the tranquil park is home to the Exquisite Jade Rock, a 3.3 meter high boulder said to be a gift for the Huizong Emperor in the 1100s.
To experience the city’s trendy side, we recommend taking a trip to the French Concession - a district filled with tree-lined streets, quaint cafes, and upscale boutiques and restaurants.
