What to do in Shanghai

Shanghai is a perfect fusion of tradition and modernity, where you can find both Yu Garden, built over 450 years ago, and Shanghai Tower, which now ranks as the second highest building in the world. We recommend the following attractions in case you want to spend more time here after the event, and we sincerely wish you a good time and a pleasant stay in Shanghai.

1.The Bund of Shanghai

The Bund of Shanghai is located on the East Bank of the Huangpu River. 52 classic buildings of Gothic and Baroque styles are to its west while Lujiazui, where modern skyscrapers stand, is opposite the Bund on the other side of the river; it is a good choice to enjoy the wonderful night view of bright neon lights in the Bund.

2. Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street & People’s Square

Nanjing Road extends for 1,599 meters from Zhongshan East First Road in the east and Tibet Middle Road in the west. The section to the west of Henan Middle Road is well known as Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street which enjoys its reputation for being a major shopping centre and time-honoured street at the same time.
