A Closer Look at Shanghai

Shanghai is China’s largest city and a compelling mix of historic streets, riverside landmarks and contemporary design. Walk along the Bund for views across the Huangpu River, explore the lanes and cafés of the former French Concession, visit classical Yu Garden and sample the city’s distinctive food. Shanghai works well as an energetic introduction to modern China or a convenient starting point for journeys further east.
