💡 About Shanghai
Shanghai, China's dazzling largest city and financial capital, is a place where the past and future collide spectacularly — the colonial-era waterfront of the Bund gazes across the river at the science-fiction skyline of Pudong, a forest of supertall towers that seemed to rise overnight.
Once the most cosmopolitan city in Asia, Shanghai retains an air of glamour in its Art Deco buildings, tree-lined former French Concession and elegant shikumen lane houses. Today it is a global hub of commerce, fashion and finance.
Home to over 24 million people, Shanghai races into the future with maglev trains, gleaming malls and a vibrant arts scene, while classical Chinese gardens and buzzing food markets keep it rooted in tradition. It is modern China at its most electric.
