When it comes to China’s most internationally captivating cities, Shanghai undoubtedly shines as a dazzling star. As the economic hub of China and a living mosaic of Eastern and Western cultures, this city seamlessly blends futuristic ambition with deep historical roots.
To every traveler who sets foot here, Shanghai is more than just a destination — it is an experience, a memory, and a soulful dialogue between people and place.
Let Shanghai be your first and most vivid encounter with the essence of China.
The Bund is Shanghai’s calling card — a spectacular waterfront lined with 52 buildings of diverse classical styles, forming what is known as the ‘Exhibition of International Architecture.’ These grand facades quietly whisper the tales of the old ‘Golden Age of the East.’
Across the Huangpu River, Lujiazui’s modern skyline rises in striking contrast. The Oriental Pearl Tower, one of the first symbols of modern Shanghai, stands beside the Shanghai World Financial Center, Jin Mao Tower, and Shanghai Tower — collectively nicknamed the ‘The Bund Three.’ Climb to the top of any of these marvels for a sweeping 360°view of a city bursting with energy and ambition.
Step into the poetic elegance of Yu Garden, where Ming and Qing dynasty garden design reveals its intricate charm through curved eaves, rockeries, and serene pavilions. Nearby, the City God Temple is not only a centuries-old religious site, but also a living museum of folk traditions.
Wander through Xintiandi and Sinan Mansions, where beautifully preserved shikumen (stone-gated houses) share quiet stories of old Shanghai lifestyles and human warmth. These neighborhoods are perfect for slow-paced city walks full of character and atmosphere.
Shanghai’s cuisine is a delicate fusion of refined Jiangnan traditions and global influences. Here, you can savor sophisticated dishes in Michelin-starred restaurants or discover the charm of local street food in quiet alleyways.
Benbang cuisine, Shanghai’s own culinary style, is known for its rich flavors and balanced sweetness and saltiness. Signature dishes like braised pork belly are tender and glistening, melting in your mouth with every bite. Crispy sweet shrimp offers a perfect contrast of textures and bold sauces, while classics like eight-treasure duck and sizzling eel in soy sauce often grace festive banquets and family gatherings.
Street food in Shanghai is equally unforgettable. Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are thin-skinned, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Shengjianbao (pan-fried buns) are crispy on the bottom and rich in savory fillings — a breakfast favorite for locals. A simple bowl of scallion oil noodles carries the comforting taste of everyday life in old Shanghai.
The people of Shanghai are known for their understated elegance and appreciation for order and grace. This unique ‘Haipai’ culture fuses the restraint of the East with the sophistication of the West.
As you stroll the lanes, you might savor a steaming xiao long bao, crispy sheng jian, or a fragrant bowl of scallion oil noodles, while the scent of fresh espresso drifts out from a nearby French-style bakery.
Take a walk down Wukang Road, a historic cultural street with a literary soul. Here, Shanghai’s classic lane houses coexist with elegant garden villas and European-style apartments — a true blend of old and new. This is a city that welcomes all cultures and opens its warm heart to every traveler.
For those young at heart, Shanghai Disney Resort is a must-visit fantasy world. As China’s first and the sixth Disney park worldwide, it blends Disney enchantment with Chinese cultural imagination. Home to the largest Disney castle on earth, the park offers dazzling nighttime fireworks and immersive experiences that bring joy to all ages.
