Experience the Bund

Stretching for almost a mile from the Waibaidu Bridge to East Jinling Road, the Bund – or Waitan – is an iconic symbol of Shanghai. This section of the Huangpu River’s west bank showcases an incredible mix of the city’s past and future.

Take a leisurely stroll along Waitan to admire the eclectic architectural styles, including a beautiful collection of neoclassical buildings. Take a moment to look across the river and admire Pudong’s futuristic skyline, featuring world-famous skyscrapers.

Visit at night to see the grandeur of the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower, World Financial Center and Jin Mao Tower illuminated.

Splash out on Nanjing Road

Shanghai is renowned the world over for the deluxe shopping experience found in this lively district.

Nanjing Road stretches for more than three miles and has hundreds of outlets, ranging from boutiques and historic shops to sprawling multi-level malls, department stores and even theatres. Take a stroll to get a feel for the energetic buzz or spend a day engaging in some serious retail therapy.

Visiting at night offers a different experience entirely. The glittering avenue is adorned with neon signs and the atmosphere is electric. Enjoy music from performers on the streets as you sip something delicious from an open-air spot.

Serenity of Yuyuan Garden

In Shanghai’s Old Town, you’ll come across the beautiful Yuyuan Garden. Overflowing with ornate buildings, bridges, pagodas and decorated with flowers, statues and ponds, this serene space offers a tranquil escape in the heart of the busy city.

Dating back to the Ming Dynasty, Yu Garden was once a private area for the Pan family and provides a fascinating window into the world of ancient China. Afterwards, head to the nearby Yuyuan Bazaar to explore traditional tea houses and grab a souvenir or snack.
