One look at Shanghai and you feel it rubs shoulders with other large cities with impressive skyscrapers and amazing food, from street vendors to top-end restaurants. It combines all these elements into one vibrant city. Situated on the Yangtze River in China, Shanghai is the most populous city in the world. It’s a mega-city that is a must-visit for all the right reasons.
Shanghai is often called the Paris of the East. It features a mixture of modern towers, such as the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, which has a distinctive circular design. There are also charming neighborhoods that transport visitors to the romantic streets of Europe.
Shanghai has something for everyone, from classic xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), to Michelin-starred meals, to top-floor observation towers, to a leisurely walk along the Bund waterfront after-dinner, Shanghai has it all.
