Shanghai Travel Guide

 218 Reviews  After dark, take a cruise on the Huangpu River, where you can take in the beautiful sight of Shanghai and Pudong at night. The lights from the tall skyscrapers in Pudong as well as those from the Bund are especially amazing. A romantic experience! There are numerous tour boat companies, offering... 

 95 Reviews  Take an elevator up to the Oriental Pearl Tower to get a fantastic view of Shanghai and Pudong. There are actually three levels (spheres) you can visit -- at heights of 90 m, 263 m, and 350 m. One of the levels has a glass floor, where you can look directly beneath your feet to the street below. A... 

 73 Reviews  Nanjing Road is the connection shopping street between the Bund and the People's Park. If you get off at People's Square metro station, you can visit Shanghai's museum, Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center, and several upper market shopping malls, then walk all the way along East Nanjing Street... 

 102 Reviews  Being one of the two top sections of City's Museum, for us, coming from Xi'an, it didn't add much. However, for a first approach to China, its wide collection, covering a large frame of time from the stone age, is very interesting, and easy to see, in a very well organized space. 

 36 Reviews  The former french quarter was renovated respecting its old characteristics, and became a trendy (and expensive... it seems) touristy area. It's different, but the contrast with the shiny forms and colours of the old town (if it happens to you moving from one to the other, as we did), becomes... 

 37 Reviews  The Jade Buddha Temple is a Buddhist temple in Shanghai, China. As with most modern Chinese Buddhist temples, the current temple draws from both the Pure Land and Chan traditions of Mahayana Buddhism. It was founded in 1882 with two jade Buddha statues imported to Shanghai from Burma by sea. These... 

 19 Reviews  Zhou Zhang is located 37 miles west of Shanghai in Jiangsu Province. This town is more than 700 years old. The highlight of the visit was a boat tour along the canals. It is well-preserved village in the ancient Chinese style. It is amazing to walk beside the creek and see people still moving about... 

 10 Reviews and 1547 Opinions  I must say, Shanghai is a city that a $350 a night for a hotel room doesn't get you much anymore,... 

 18 Reviews  you can buy drinks and refreshment and even eat streetfoods or a full meal at the food court. this food court cum street stall is just located across the street facing Oriental TV Tower and my suggestion is that you eat and buy drinks here first before embarking on a jaunt to Oriental TV Tower as... 

 15 Reviews  dont forget to reserve, it's hard to get a table in there...the dumplings are outstanding, you will not find better ones. also, you can watch them being made by hand...don't miss it. on the upper stairs you can watch them making these dumplings 

 12 Reviews  This larger restaurant branch is fantastic with formal dinning, great service, relaxed, clean, tidy, pleasantly decorated with hardly an empty table. If you get yourslf a private room you will have your own balcony.....ya! The food is very Shanghainese with some great award winning dishes. Crab,... 

 11 Reviews  I have to say this place isn't bad, but it isn't the best in Shanghai like everyone says. The service is OK, the wine list is extensive and expensive, and the menu is a bit short on the selections. So after going to Laris (please read my other travel tip) the night before we were disappointed with... 

 8 Reviews  The interior of the restaurant is good but thats about all that is good. Its well over priced and i was even overcharged for something we did not order so check your bill. You even have to pay for a glass of water. Despite being so expensive no one smiles or makes you feel welcome. No one came and... 

 5 Reviews  This very famous restaurant was a real pleasure to dine at after a stroll around YuYuan Garden offering many of the local dishes such as the fresh River Fish, Crab, Eel, Lotus Root etc and the Dumpling! We were lucky enough to have an upstairs private room with fantastic service by two... 

 4 Reviews  The ambiance is perfect, truly Shanghai. Even my Shanghainese friend swears that this is still the best local place to eat, at a great location - Xin Tian Di! The Grandmother's Pork is a must have, it is slowly cooked, very tender, super tasty, and truly a taste of Shanghai. A gastronomic feast! We... 

 33 Reviews  the view of the ultramodern district of shanghai! Shanghai is home to more than 4,000 buildings, but it is the Huangpu's east-bank development, Pudong, that is the star of the Show in Shanghai. In 1990, this area was still marshy farmland but now in 2009 or 19 years later, Pudong has become a New... 

 23 Reviews  I was impressed by the development and organization of Shanghai. What they show to us today has nothing to do with the generalised idea of China. We had to look at the small narrow roads, to see the old China living, according to the expected standards, but in good harmony with the construction... 

 12 Reviews  The city is so huge, if one has just a few days, the best thing to do is... to go back for more! I liked that we stayed along Nanjing Road. That way, we got to stroll along this long avenue filled with so many interesting things to see. The food, I must say. I loved the steamed dumplings, Xiao Lung...
