About Shanghai



Shanghai has a history dating back 700 years, and was once the financial centre of the Far East. Since the reforms that began in the 1990s, great changes have taken place in the city and the municipal government is working towards building Shanghai into a modern metropolis and into a world economic, financial, trading and shipping centre by 2020.

Like everything in this region, Shanghai is changing fast and in recent years a number of new buildings and attractions have been added to the city. These include the Oriental Pearl TV Tower; Shanghai Museum; Shanghai Library; Shanghai Stadium; Shanghai Grand Theatre; Shanghai Circus City; Shanghai Science & Technology Museum; Shanghai City-Planning Exhibition Hall and Jin Mao Tower. They have literally changed the face of Shanghai.

Shanghai's gorgeous night scene is one of the main highlights that will linger in visitors' mind owing to its ornate feature after their Shanghai travel experience. As night descends the entire city is lit up by dizzily colorful lights joined occasionally by the bright moon hanging in the sky.

Shanghai's tourist infrastructure is getting more and more accomplished. There are more than 300 star-rated hotels with over 50,000 rooms. Shanghai is an ideal "paradise for shoppers, as well as a paradise for gourmets. There are over a thousand restaurants serving the 16 different styles of food in China, such as the Beijing, Sichuan, Guangdong, Yangzhou and Fujian. There are also Western restaurants serving French, Russian, Italian, English, German, Japanese and Indian food, and also Muslim and vegetarian food.

Sightseeing



Shanghai, as the major economy center in China, has witnessed the development of the modern history of China. It is now on its way to become an international metropolis.

Shanghai has made an effort to develop the city tourism mainly featuring "city scenery", "city culture", and "city commerce". The municipal government has gradually mapped out three tourism itineraries. The itinerary for city tours, business, and shopping is organized around the People's Square and both sides of the Huang Pu River. The itinerary for cultural tours around the city is organized in the public entertainment places and communities. The itinerary for recreation and holiday in the outer suburbs is organized around Mount She, Dian Shan Lake, the deepwater port and the Chong Ming Island.

The architecture of Shanghai has its own characters. The Bund, the Stone-gate buildings, the different kinds of Shanghai style constructions, the modern installations which make an assemblage of different styles of architecture, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign are worth visiting.

Food



As an international city, Shanghai offers all kinds of cuisines from around the world. Of course, the majority of restaurants offer Chinese food at reasonable prices.

Chinese food is famous for having Eight Major Cuisines: Sichuan, Zhejiang, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Fujian, Cantonese and Anhui.

Not surprisingly, Shanghai Cuisine, also known as Ben Bang, is not one of the Eight Major. Give it a try, you may enjoy it but Westerners often complain that it's too sweet and oily. There are certainly many better gastric options available.

If you like a bit of spice, go to one of the city's many Sichuan or Hunan restaurants. The food is fantastic and won't put a big dent in your wallet.

Night life



As for nightlife, Shanghai has a huge amount of bars and clubs, catering for all tastes and budgets. There are many relaxed Western-type bars which offer all the favorite tipples from home and show live sports, from football to rugby to baseball.

There are also some excellent jazz bars with great live music. If you want a bit of a dance, the city's bigger clubs regularly welcome popular international DJ's who dominate the decks until the small hours of the morning.

If you want to get dressed up and sip cocktails, you won't be disappointed. The majority of Shanghai bars offer beautiful and luxurious settings and extensive drinks lists. And if you really want to treat yourself, go to one of the pricey bars located high up in some of the city's tallest skyscrapers and enjoy the wonderful views.
