Price from: $1067 per person on twin sharing basis
The city of Shanghai, whose name literally means “on the sea”, is located on the East China coast. With a total population of around 15 million, of which around 8 million live in the city proper, it is China’s largest city, its largest port and its largest industrial base. It has the best shops and restaurants in the country and the most fashionable people. Called “the dragon head” of East China, Shanghai is the leading force driving the economy forward. Since market restrictions were lifted, it has embraced the forces of business and design, shaping a fresh, new city that is sophisticated and innovative. The Bund, its riverside area and Frenchtown are the best places to see the remnants of the city’s colonial past. Then move onto the temples, gardens, bazaars and striking architecture of the new city.
