Shanghai is China’s economic power house – where China is most blatantly heading full tilt into the new millennium. Monumental new skyscrapers, glittering department stores, buzzing nightlife – it’s all happening in Shanghai, making it China’s most exciting city by far.
Underneath the gleaming steel and marble however lie a few ghosts from Shanghai’s earlier heyday – the evocative Bund in particular a reminder of 1930’s grandeur when Shanghai was the greatest city in the Far East.
The city is also a great base for touring nearby sights such as Suzhou and Hangzhou. There are some fabulous luxury hotels in Shanghai and a handful of great boutique hotels which we thoroughly recommend.
