Top tips for Cairo to Shanghai

Shanghai skyline

A city with a view

While Cairo’s pyramids are an ancient example of stunning architecture, Shanghai is full of modern buildings that are breath-taking to behold. Famed for its mighty skyscrapers, the financial district’s Lujiazui peninsula is home to Shanghai Tower, the world’s second-tallest building.

For something with a bit of history, dial back the decades and admire Shanghai’s famous Art Deco buildings – including the Park Hotel, Grand Theatre, and Broadway Mansions.

Endless art and culture

Much like how Cairo is at the heart of Egypt’s history, Shanghai hosts some of China’s most treasured artefacts in the Shanghai Museum. Admire items preserved from the Ming, Zhou and Tang dynasties among others.

The Shanghai Science and Technology Museum shares the city’s more recent stories. Meanwhile the galleries and pieces in the M50 Art District and the China Art Museum showcase Shanghai’s diverse and expansive artistic character.
