General Information

Shanghai is one of China's most travelled cities, as it offers a complete different cultural experience for keen holiday seekers. Shanghai will definitely surprise you with its glitz and glamour, achingly different from other cities in the Mainland.

European influences abound in Shanghai, more evident in The Bund where old-world style buildings face the Huangpu River. A casual stroll along the tree-lined avenues would lead to funky neighborhoods that remind you more of Europe. Home to 15 million, Shanghai center is relatively new but the cultural highligh ...

ts still impart a good old sense of old-world charm.

Attractions

It's a beautiful city that is divided between Puxi (east) and Pudong (west) of Huangpu River. When one walks the Bund, a perfect epitome of the Shanghai experience can be had. Colonial buildings such as Customs House, Peace Hotel and large financial institutions face the futuristic Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the flashy neon lights at night on the other side. Some of these heritage buildings house the city's hottest dining spots. With a breathtaking view, who can't resist?

See a part of Shanghai that's close to its Imperial past by visiting Yu Yuan Gardens. Within this historical section of the city, there are ancient pavillions, little bridges and waterways inside the gardens. It certainly is a contrasting sight compared the more touristy Bazaar beside it. It's a cluster of commercial establishments including McDonalds and Starbucks holding fort at the former army offices.

The French left its imprints in Shanghai in highly affluent areas which form the former French Concession. The streets of Sinan Lu, Taikang Lu, Xianshan Lu and Gaolan Lu are chockfull of fancy restaurants, upmarket shopping and elegant architecture throughout.

Other sights that are part of Shanghai's roster of attractions include People's Square, site of the Shanghai Museum, City Hall and Grand Theatre. Nanjing Lu is the famed pedestrian street always seeing jampacked crowds most especially during weekends. Shopping is key activity here with malls lining up the street. Entertainment on the other hand, is concentrated in Xintiandi, a pair of blocks of street containing restored stone houses which now are filled with food and wine establishments.

For something that's off the main drag, take a taxi ride to Old Town or Qi Bao. You will find yourself transported to kung fu movies when you see the buildings in this favorite haunt for local foods like xiao long bao, sticky rice cakes and roasted duck.

Events

Chinese New Year comes around with a big bang in Shanghai, as is the case in any Chinese city. Lion dances and fireworks greet the new year which falls anytime between last week of January or first week of February. Much of the city closes down so visitors are advised to just enjoy the revelry outside their hotels. Dragon boat races create a frenzy in the river in June or July. Whilst the Shanghai Beer Festival allows everyone to drink and be merry! Formula One fever hits the city when Chinese Grand Prix roars its way on September.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is perhaps the loveliest festival of the year. It is the time for family reunions among the Chinese. If you get invited, prepare your appetite for great feasts ahead! The celebration also includes exchanging moon cakes and red envelopes with money tokens inside.
