Shanghai – The city

Known as the ‘Pearl of the Orient’, Shanghai is truly an international metropolis in every sense of the

word. The most vibrant and progressive city in China, Shanghai is the economic and cultural center,

blending an incredible mix of Eastern and Western culture. On one side of the mighty Yangtze River

flowing through Shanghai is the Pu Dong district, rural farm land just 20 years ago, it is now the financial and commercial hub with skyscrapers stretching ever higher. Along the western bank of the river, the iconic Bund is a reminder of Shanghai’s colonial past featuring grand European architecture.

For those who like to shop, party and eat, Shanghai has all you could possibly want and more. But

despite its cosmopolitan reputation, pockets of quaint tradition remain alive and well, dotted

throughout the city. Explore countless old markets, back streets crammed with local eateries and

discover incense filled temples still central to the locals’ daily life.
