The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

A bespoke company based in Shanghai. Our main business is tailor-made men's and women's wear. Within more than ten years of experience in the bespoke industry, customers are all over the world. We have our own tailors and factories for both shirts and suits.
We visited the fabric market on the first day of our family visit in order to have things custom made in time to pick them up 5 days later. Had a BEAUTIFUL yellow trench coat made at BOOTH #285, Gorgeous blue suit for my son made at Suits by Susan #233 (they spoke English very well and were super helpful on the choices to be made), Also had a shirt made from Cloud at booth # 172 (I brought in one of my favorite shirts and they had an exact copy in one of their fabrics) and my daughter had a dress made at #172 as well. DEFINITELY negotiate with the price!

Raffles City run by CapitaLand Malls Ltd is just a brand that works - for Singaporeans it's a brand that you find familiarity in a foreign city just like how Golden Arches just work for many Westerners who do not know what to eat when they first visit a non-Western country. With this brand comes the association - nothing too exciting, but a minimum standard of mid to high-end is always maintained in terms of the overall ambience and retail mix. A place you'll look forward to visiting because you know it'll always be clean, posh, and certain reliable brands will be there. That's how it worked for us when we first arrived in Shanghai, with our hotel right opposite, young kids in tow, simply looking for somewhere clean and reliable to rest our tired feet and feed our overtired/ over-excited children. The food court and restaurants on the top floor provided a good enough late evening dinner, the smaller food kiosks and cafes at its basement provided the much needed Singaporean fare and baked goods at Bread talk to sooth the little ones. Starbucks and KFC are right on the ground floor and forms an inviting mall front for both international and local visitors too, especially on an unexpected chilly evening. Beyond the comfort, the convenience of the location doesn't need more mention but here's a summary: - lying right above a metro station of three intersecting metro lines - 100 metres to Nanjing shopping street - 300 metres to Fuzhou historical eating street - 500 metres to YunNan street foodie street - being directly opposite People's Park and Urban Planning museum gives it an open, welcoming feel too - probably walkable to the Bund, Yuyuan etc. but you need to know where and be prepared to walk long. It's where the office workers congregate, where the tourists amazes around, where the elderly chat with their companions, where young parents bring their little ones out for a walk, it's where you look for food and shopping and watch how all the dynamics just work.
