Destination overview

With the perfect mix of old and new, Shanghai is a modern metropolis surrounded by traditional and colonial heritage.

Visit Shanghai’s crowning glory, The Bund, the classy, colonial waterfront precinct that serves up some of the city’s best night views. Shop at Nanjing Road, a 5.5km long century old shopping street and browse the classic Yu Garden, a breathtaking attraction that dates back to the Ming Dynasty from 1368-1644.

Featuring a sea of skyscrapers, you can get a bird’s eye view of the sprawling city from the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower or Shanghai Tower, the world’s highest observation deck. For something a little more down to earth, don’t miss visiting the French Concession and Tian Zi Fang – Shanghai’s version of Diagon Alley – a maze of quirky shops, cafes and bars set into stone houses.

Bustling with energy and excitement, Shanghai is an absolute must for all travellers.
