Explore a different side of China with Singapore Airlines

Chongqing

Once a temporary capital of China during World War II, Chongqing (formerly known as Chungking) is one of the most prominent business hubs in the country, and is home to major producers of steel, aluminium, iron and motor cars. The city, tucked between mountains and at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing rivers, has a staggering population of nearly 30 million people, though less than 10 million actually reside in the city's urban areas.

Shanghai

Back in its 1930s “Pearl of the Orient” heyday, Shanghai’s decadent dance halls, rooftop restaurants, fine hotels and department stores were the envy of Asia. Today, its best pleasures reside at the intersection of past and present. Look beyond the modern skyscrapers, and you’ll find magnificent European mansions and traditional “lilong” laneways. For every restaurant run by a celebrity chef, there are also numerous streetside cafes serving delicious Shanghainese cuisine.

Shenzhen

Shenzhen is perhaps the perfect example of how China has risen so quickly as a world power. Before 1979 when it became a special economic zone to attract foreign investment, the city was nothing more than a fishing village called Baoan County. Today, Shenzhen is a bustling metropolis of 15 million people and a manufacturing and consumer electronics giant. Admittedly, the city has only a few historical attractions to offer, but it does have several interesting themed parks.
