The famous Huxinting thea house

Shanghai became the status of "world city" thanks to the exploration of western industrials and local Chinese merchants. The most attractive place for a tourist is the old part of the city. You will find the most famous "Huxinthng Teahouse" in the middle of a lake and many fountains. It is also the heart of commerce and typical restaurants.
You will meet also the old fashion of buildings - now object of urban renewal. Anyhow if you visit China - this City is a must. Please visit the night markets - social life in China - in Asia überhaupt is during the nights

Last visit to Shanghai: Sep 1998
