Shanghai Main Attractions

There are a lot of places of interest in Shanghai, but most first-time visitors take a tour of The Bund, which is the main street that separates Old Shanghai and the more modern parts of the city. You can catch a ferry here to continue the tour to the ancient walled city of Nanshi. Here you can see the Yuyuan Garden, which offers a beautiful view of traditional Chinese landscaping from the Ming Dynasty. You can then take Nanjing Road to the People's Square where there are plenty of museums, as well as the Oriental Pearl Tower. The various exhibits range from Chinese history to modern art.

Shanghai Shopping, Dining and Night Life

Nanjing Road is a popular spot to shop in Shanghai. The western end contains high-end shops, fashion boutiques, and trendy designer outlets. Those who want traditional local crafts and Chinese jewellery will want to visit the Yuyuan Bazaar located near The Bund. Many visitors take advantage of the discounted electronics and clothing items whilst in China. Shanghai cuisine is a blend of local Jiangnan delicacies and dishes from other parts of China. Most main courses are made with pork, but there are also quite a few dishes made with locally raised chicken and crab. You should try the steamed dumplings or shēng jiān bāo, a special Shanghai-style fried bun that you will not find in your local Chinese restaurants. Shanghai has a very busy night-life and there are many dance clubs and bars. The establishments can range from casual and affordable to the more posh and expensive. You will never be bored, hungry or idle in this intriguing Chinese metropolis.
