What to do and see in Shanghai, Shanghai Region: The Best Cultural Events

January 23, 2022 Weston Hennigan

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.

Shanghai International Arts Festival

Beijing may be more renowned for its art scene than Shanghai, but the Shanghai International Arts Festival has become one of China's most influential festivals since it was established in 1999. Foreign cultural exchange is a focus of the event, held in October every year, and dozens of stage perfomances--ranging from dance to theater to experimental art--and art exhibitions from all over the world are held in the city over a month-long period.
