Travel to Shanghai
Shanghai is a vibrant coastal megacity where East harmoniously converges with West. As China's premier global financial center, it juxtaposes the colonial-era architecture of the Bund with the futuristic skyline of Lujiazui. Traditional lilong alleys meander behind chic cafés, while art deco landmarks stand proudly beside modern skyscrapers. From tantalizing street food to Michelin-starred restaurants, Shanghai is bold, stylish, and perpetually in motion.
