Shanghai, an economic hub and one of the most developed cities in China, sits on the junction between the Yangtze River and China's south-east coast.
As the earliest trading port in China, Shanghai was the first to open to the world. The city then gradually grew into a major financial trading market in Southeast Asia over time. Shanghai is a diverse city—the old alleys in the old part of town, the century-old European-style buildings along the Bund, gardens filled with memories around Chenghuang, skyscrapers of all kinds in Lujiazui—a melting pot of different elements that forges the city’s unique charm. Numerous attractions and delicacies create a travel culture exclusive to Shanghai, and make it a magical place of never-ending attraction for food lovers, travellers, and those who love to party.
