Shanghai – The future is now!
Bustling streets and peaceful orchid gardens. Noisy clubs and tranquil teahouses. Come to Shanghai and experience the future today!
Shanghai, a world-renowned metropolis, merges old and new China like no other place. The riverwalk by the Huangpu, known as "The Bund" is the home of the city's most famous skyline.
The futuristic skyscrapers are the district's landmark and should be your starting point to get a feeling of Shanghai life.
The adjacent Nanjing road will make the heart of any shopaholic pound. On a stretch of 5.5 km, 360 malls offer you everything you can think of, from souvenirs to traditional porcelain to luxury brands.
After an extensive shopping tour, you should check out the nearby Sky Dome Bar to recharge your batteries. It invites you to enjoy a delicious cocktail while taking in the spectacular view above the skyline. If you prefer it to be a little more down-to-earth, you should head to the districts French Concession or Jing'An, where various restaurants will take you on a culinary voyage through China. Whether it is the spicy aromas of Sichaun, the sweetness of Shanghai cuisine, or fresh fish from the South China Sea, Shanghai is a playground for food lovers.
Having spent the last night speeding through Shanghai's nightlife in a taxi, ancient temples invite you to relax the next day and take you into the world of ancestor worship. Chants, offerings, and traditional architecture make you forget the hectic life on the other side of the temple doors.
On the outskirts of the pulsating city water towns, like Zhujiajiao, enchant you with their narrow water corridors and an ancient cityscape.
Nature lovers will get their money's worth when sauntering through Yu Yuan Garden or the Shanghai botanical garden. Long walks will lead you along seas overflowing with lotus flowers or hijack you into the tranquility of bamboo forests.
