There's No Place Like Shanghai

Shanghai is known for its glamour, luxury, and excess, but that doesn't mean its all modern skyscrapers and designer boutiques. While you will find a lot of that in the city, there are still traditional aspects to marvel at. Get the full experience during your trip to Shanghai.

What to Do in Shanghai

The city of Shanghai has some of the tallest building in the world and an incredible collection of architecture you won't want to miss. The best way to check this out is by taking a walk along the Bund. This waterfront promenade will give you some of the best views of the most impressive buildings in the city. A river cruise along the Huangpu River is also a great way to take in the Bund as well as the more modern skyscrapers. Save your cruise for after dark for an unforgettable view of Shanghai and its many lights. Make time for a stop at the Shanghai Tower, home to the world's tallest sky deck. Other must-see places to include in your itinerary include the Jade Buddha Temple, Yuyuan Gardens, and the French Concession.

What to Eat in Shanghai

Shanghai has tons of food options, ranging from the traditional to the foreign. You'll find incredible dishes anywhere, from street food vendors to Michelin-starred eateries. While there, don't skip out on the most traditional dishes such as xiaolongbao, Shanghai's signature soup dumplings. There's never a bad time for street noodles, but leave these for late at night, after a long day exploring the city. If you're after something a bit more glamorous, check out the Peacock room. Its impeccable interior design is sure to leave you impressed and with tons of photos you'll want to share. Finally, if luxury is your main goal, make reservations at Ultraviolet. This 3 Michelin-starred restaurant boasts 20-course meals accompanied by lights, sounds, scents, and video.

When to Visit Shanghai

Plan your trip to Shanghai anywhere in between March to early November. The winters tend to be quite cold and windy, making the city harder to enjoy.
