What to do and see in Former French Concession, Shanghai Region: The Best Historic Sites

April 11, 2022 Marissa Gamble

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.
