Why visit Shanghai?
Shanghai is a vibrant port city where historic streets meet a striking modern skyline. You can wander leafy boulevards, admire the towers of Pudong across the river, and experience a blend of traditional charm and contemporary urban energy.
What to expect
You will find distinct districts, from the riverside Bund and the heritage lanes of the former French Concession to the glass-and-steel landmarks of Lujiazui. The city moves quickly, yet tree-lined streets, parks, and waterfront promenades create inviting pockets for unhurried walks.
Plan your trip
Shanghai works well as both a standalone city break and a gateway to eastern China. With efficient airports, high-speed rail links, and an extensive metro network, it is easy to combine Shanghai with nearby cities and scenic regions on a longer journey.
