The city really does have everything. From the peace of traditional Chinese gardens to dramatic modern architecture, a myriad of lights and luxury boutiques. Fancy going out after your Shanghai flight? Then there’s the whole range, from designer bars to street stall cuisine.
What to see in Shanghai
Get on your bike
Shanghai can be tricky to navigate at first, so a cycle tour is a great idea. An experienced guide will help you see the city at a pace that suits you.
Wake up early
Set your alarm and head to YuYuan Garden early to beat the crowds and see this beautiful spot at its best. Explore the delightful Ming-era gardens or shop in the bazaar.
A history of Chinese art
The Shanghai Museum in People's Square is packed with 120,000 treasures. From paintings and ceramics to calligraphy and bronzes, it’s definitely not just for a rainy day.
All the tea in China
If you love a cuppa, the Tianshan Tea Market will be your idea of heaven. It's a three-storey market with more than 150 stalls, all dedicated to the humble tea.
See the city lights
The Jinmao Tower is one of the highest in the world – and the perfect place to see Shanghai in all its glory. The Cloud 9 bar offers amazing views come dusk.
