Shanghai City, the Oriental Paris in east China

Shanghai, known as the “Oriental Paris”, is a main gateway for international travelers to China with its (2) international airports, Pudong and Hongqiao. 

A visit to Shanghai can be a short as a few hours, but we suggest at least (2) full days to begin to enjoy the unique nature of this modern city. 

Shanghai is the largest city in China and is divided into several unique sections. By the Huang Pu River and different economical, historical and cultural zones. 

Some clients will end their travel in China by taking a cruise down the Yangtze River, which feeds into the Huangpu River. 

Key Attractions in Shanghai Include:

• The Bund – Renowned as the symbolic of Shanghai, is situated next to the Huangpu River. It is a grand facade and one of the top things to do in Shanghai. Travelers can compare the ancient Fench architecture with the modern sky scrapers being built across the river in Pudong.
