Shanghai seamlessly marries its historic roots with a futuristic skyline, showcasing a city that is both timeless and cutting-edge. Stroll through the ancient Yu Garden, where traditional Chinese architecture intertwines with blooming flora, providing a serene escape from the bustling urban landscape. Marvel at the juxtaposition of the historic Old City and the futuristic skyscrapers of Pudong, each telling a tale of Shanghai’s evolution through time.
Renowned as the “Museum of Buildings,” The Bund stands as a testament to Shanghai’s international past. The waterfront promenade boasts a collection of colonial-era structures that once housed international banks and trading houses.
