In depth
Shanghai, known as the "Magic City," an international metropolis, is China's most dynamic center for economy, finance, and fashion. The Huangpu River winds through the city, dividing it into two distinct styles: on one side stands the Bund with 52 uniquely styled "International Architecture Exhibition Complexes," while on the other side the magnificent skyline outlined by the Lujiazui skyscrapers.
Shanghai's charm lies in its seamless blend of classical and modern elements. You can touch history at historic sites like Yuyuan and Jing'an Temple, or experience Haipai style in the Shikumen architectural clusters of Wukang Road and Zhangyuan. As the birthplace of xiaolongbao, authentic local cuisine and global cuisine come together here. From the Shanghai Museum to Disneyland, from bustling Nanjing Road to the tranquil Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, Shanghai is like a multi-prism where every turn reveals surprises of retro and modernity.
This city, with a population of over 24 million, awaits you to explore its limitless possibilities.
