Shanghai Essentials
Shanghai blends colonial history with hyper-modern ambition. The historic Bund waterfront showcases 19th-century European architecture, directly facing the futuristic Lujiazui skyline featuring the 632-meter Shanghai Tower and the Oriental Pearl Tower. Traditional life continues in the Old French Concession’s plane-tree-lined lanes and the Ming-style Yuyuan Market. Cultural highlights include the ancient art collections of the Shanghai Museum and the "Oriental Crown" China Art Museum. For modern engineering, the Maglev train reaches speeds of 431 km/h, while Zhujiajiao offers a glimpse into ancient water town life.
