A brief introduction to Shanghai

A majestic skyline, stunning temples, and vast shopping options, Shanghai offers an endless array of unforgettable experiences for those who visit.

To enjoy unobscured views of the city’s iconic skyscrapers, visit the city’s renowned waterfront area – the Bund. Here, you can gaze up at towering high-rises, including Shanghai Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, and the Jinmao Tower. If you walk along the river you will see many styles of architecture such as gothic, baroque, and neoclassical.

The economic hub also boasts numerous historic temples, such as the City God Temple and its adjoining Yu Garden in the Old City. Built during the Ming Dynasty, this iconic 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 a bit of culture, the French Concession is a must-visit. This district is filled with tree-lined streets, cozy cafes, and artsy boutiques, and is renowned for its wide range of shopping and dining options.
