Things to do in Shanghai

Shanghai's skyline tells its story. Along the Bund, a row of grand banks and trading houses from the early twentieth century faces the Huangpu River, and on the far bank the towers of Lujiazui rise into the clouds, the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Shanghai Tower among them.

Between them lie very different neighbourhoods: tree-lined lanes in the former French Concession, the classical Yu Garden and its bazaar, the shopping crowds of Nanjing Road, and a fast-growing list of modern attractions and themed experiences.
