This skyline gave me my first impression: what a modern city, almost making me to think I was not in China anymore.
But it was the wrong first impression. Shanghai is truly chinese, combining the modernity of its early development to its ancient history.
The city is vibrating, never-stopping traffic, full of contrasts and people everywhere.
Worth to visit is its downtown, the surroundings of Nanjing street and Pudong. Well, at least what we could get to know in three short days there.
Further opportunities will surely come...
- Pros:Vibrant city!
- Cons:Summertime it is incredibly hot and humid!!!
- In a nutshell:West in the East... in China...

Great overview of Shanghai.
Great China pages with lots of good tips! Thanks for all the info :-)
Great page ;-))
My dad will be here for a few days later this winter & I wanted to see a little of where he's going. Shanghai looks exciting, great page!
Fantastic page - I love the intro pic of the skyline. - - I wonder why the German government refused to build the Transrapid in Germany.
Ale, não sei se algum dia eu conheço Shangai, mas bem que eu adoraria andar no MagLev train ... Obrigada pelas páginas, dicas e fotos.
Excelente pagina Alexandre, tus tips son claros y precisos, en verdad Shanghai se ve como una ciudad alucinante y exotica. Saludos desde la Patagonia
My biggest while living in HK that I didn't visit Shanghai. A very modern city but I love the typical Chinese architecture and the hutongs. Good tips
never been in Shanghai, but I know about the Train ^..^ great infos und fine pics. thanx for sharing Alex
The Pudong area sure looks different than it looked on my visit in 1987! You've got a great page here!
