上海
Shanghai is China's dazzling gateway to the future. Walk along The Bund to see colonial-era architecture facing a futuristic skyline across the river. Get lost in the charming lanes of the French Concession, then zip up to a rooftop bar for cocktails with a view.
From the ancient Yu Garden to the cutting-edge galleries of West Bund, Shanghai blends East and West like nowhere else. The food scene alone is worth the trip — from soup dumplings in old-town shops to Michelin-starred restaurants pushing boundaries.
The Bund, Pudong towers, Yu Garden contrast

Major international hub, Maglev train
March to May (spring) and September to November (autumn) are ideal. Summers are hot and humid, winters are cold and damp.
Metro is the fastest way. The city is walkable in key areas (The Bund, French Concession). Taxis are affordable.
More English speakers than most Chinese cities, especially in business districts. Apps like Alipay work everywhere.
The Bund is best at night. French Concession is perfect for walking. Book popular restaurants in advance.
