Shanghai- one of the beautiful cities

We were only here two days but we at least had a chance to take a peek!
We couldn't believe how unique and modern the buildings were. Like City Of the Future!! It is described my some as the key to China's future and gazing around us we could believe it!

A Vibrant City

Shanghai has lots to offer. There is tons of shopping , everything from designer clothes to of course knockoff ...everything. There are lots of restuarants and entertainment as well. Its an east meets west city!

A mixture of old and new

Even though at first glance it seems Shanghai is a newly constructed city , if you look again you'll still catch a glimpse of the old ways , like in the old streets of the night markets.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Fresh air and lots to do
Cons:Didn't see any
In a nutshell:A vibrant and exciting place to visit.

Lovely Shanghai page with excellent pictures of Shanghai's skyline. The Bund was one of our favourite locations in the city of Shanghai. We love acrobatic show too! Bring back fond memories of our trip to that city several years ago. ~ho & pang

Hi Anita, Enjoyed your page. We are looking at a 14 day cruise from Shanghai to Singapore. Thought we would arrive Shanghai 5 days prior. Any day tours to villages?
