Shanghai is the cool, confident face of modern China, and its energy is infectious. Go to the Bund to watch ships on the river and marvel at the huge variety of architectural styles on display, or watch the crowds go by in People’s Square. Shoppers should make a beeline for the Fabric Market, where you can have a suit or dress tailor-made for you at bargain prices. At night, explore all manner of fashionable restaurants, bars and nightclubs, or just stroll through the city enjoying the spectacular neon lights.

The riverside walk along the Bund may be busy and crowded during the day, but with good reason - it's simply a must when in Shanghai for people-watching and getting a good feel for the city.
The prefecture took the industrial roots of the city and transformed them into art, see both sides and try to imagine that once this metroplex was once a village and it grew exponentially as its importance as a port grew.

enjoyed seeing the huge variety of groups who meet here. singing, dancing , exercise, calligraphy, majong and cards music. Everyone was so unself concious and enjoying themselves and happy for you to watch. It is an attractve shaded park which was lovely to be in during hot weather. We found it so much fun to watch all theses groups socialising and paracticing together and they were friendly to us and let us join in.

This is a designated section of Shanghai’s port along the Huang Pu River lined with beautiful neo-classical buildings and a waterfront promenade that is packed with tourists, locals and street sellers.
This is where the vast spread of this huge city really connects-the true centre of Shanghai.A great view of both sides of the river- the 19th and early 20th century ornamental British and European buildings on one side, and the futuristic boldly designed skyscrapers on the other. No scammers or pickpockets to worry about here,as it's heavily guarded.Nice for a brisk walk during the day, but amazing to stroll and gaze in wonder at night with all the lighting! Keep walking and you'll find the ferry.Its a 10 minute ride to the other side, and only about 2 or 3 rmb per person!Do your research, and find a fancy restaurant or bar looking across the river to relax and finish off the evening. You can't go wrong!

Speed to the top of the world’s third tallest TV and radio tower for a spectacular view, or just gaze at this beautiful structure from afar, especially striking when lit up at night.
This is indeed one of the nicest place to visit in Shanghai.Though this is not the tallest building in Shanghai,its really worth it.Its an amazing looking building and the views are awesome.The biggest highlight is the glass bottom viewing point..As many other places ,wifi is available in this attraction as well.However we had trouble reading the otp since it was in native language. Note:-Please mind that this is one of the most crowded places in Shangahi.The queues can get really big,and you might end up being in the line for a long time -The washrooms are not very well maintained and better to stay away unless its an emergency.

A classical garden complete with period style buildings. The Garden was created by Pan Yunduan a Government Officer for his family finishing in 1577.
This 400-years-old garden built in Ming dynasty is an authentically old Chinese style garden with wooden bridges, old style houses, ponds with carps and turtles, mountain-like rock, carved dragons and greenery garden. A temple is nearby that one should visit too.

Easy to walk around in a couple of hours. Pretty gardens and pavilions and lots of shops to buy your souvenirs. Interesting old buildings, fabulous tea houses and lots of produce to tease the senses. Worthwhile. Beware though it is crowded and so be careful of your belongings.

I love looking at maps and models. In this place I indulged myself with various maps and, specially, the 3d map plan of Shanghai. It's a great museum to keep track of how much Shanghai has changed recently as it includes old plans and before-after photos

"Pudong, in its 13-year history, has surprisingly progressed in its economic strength and its urban development. This 556-sqaure-kilometer farmland 13 years ago is well on its way toward a modern metropolis. As the epitome of Shanghai' modernization and the symbol of China's reform and opening up drive, Pudong has become an ideal land for global investors."
For an incredible sight, enjoy viewing the nighttime lighted buildings in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai. It's like Times Square and the Las Vegas strip all in one. Amazingly beautiful. You can do this while visiting three of China's most famous cities...Beijing, Xian and Shanghai on an eight-day China Discovery Tour. My wife and I arranged our China Discovery Tour via email with tour representative Catherine Liu after checking out the tour on the Internet. Catherine was wonderful to work with as she was very professional, replied quickly with answers to our questions, and made sure our group tours of Beijing, Xian and Shanghai had excellent guides and drivers. Our group tours in Beijing included a visit to Tian'anmen Square, The Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and gave us the fascinating opportunity to walk on the Great Wall. In Xian, a lovely city that was once the capital of China, we visited the site of the world-famous Terra-cotta Warriors. Amazing tour. If you have time in Xian, make sure to have dinner at one of the Hot Pot restaurants. A fun experience somewhat like the old days of cheese fondue dinners...but without the cheese. In Shanghai, the most flourishing metropolis in China, highlights will include a visit to the Bund, the multinational classic building complex along the river, a ride to the 85th floor the Global Financial Center for a bird's eye view of Shanghai, and lunch at a local restaurant. During your eight-day group tour (private tours are also available) you will stay in excellent five-star hotels, see the countryside when you ride a high speed bullet train from Beijing to Xian and fly from Xian to Shanghai. We highly recommend the China Discovery Tour on a visit to China. It is a quick way to tour three of China's most well-known cities. Contact Catherine Liu at [email protected] for more information. You will be glad you did.

The evening river cruise is one of the most gorgeous city lights tours I've ever been on. The buildings are all lit up, and many have video shows projected on them. We paid a bit extra on our boat to sit in the VIP area (50 RMB, $7) which included cordoned off places to sit and a beer or hot chocolate.
