The largest
city of People’s Republic of China, and even the world, is about to be
discovered!
Its port location brought Shanghai to the economical potency it is
nowadays, not only known for the huge commerce flow it has improved massively
as a financial and business world centre.
Also as a
very touristic place, Shanghai is a mix of languages, cultures and people every
day through its roads. If you are planning to get off the couch and visit this
cosmopolitan city the spots that can’t be avoid are:
The Bund
& Hanpu River is one of Shanghai’s symbol, a famous waterfront for Hanpu River
and is located in a financial and business area with buildings with very
different architectural styles.
This 3.4
mile-long road, Nanjing road, is considered the “no. 1 commercial street in
China” it has several shops, including upscale stores and famous food chains.
It is the destination of thousands of people from all over the world seeking
for a “live shopping centre”.
The Yuyuan
garden is a famous and classical garden of 20,000 square meters that was finished
on the 16th century during Ming dynasty. It has some typical
buildings on the inside and there you will be able to find serenity.
A Buddhist
temple built in 1928, Jade Buddha temple, holds inside two precious jade Buddha
statues, rare cultural relics, made of porcelain – Sitting Buddha and Recumbent
Buddha. It is an interesting place to go either you are Buddhist or not because
its’ peaceful and transcendent atmosphere adds richness to the place and the
city.
Xin tian di
is a pedestrian street that has become famous for having a mix of modern and
Shikumen architecture styles holding historical and cultural city’s legacy. On
its south and north blocks can be found stores and restaurants with
international cuisine. Is where “yesterday and tomorrow meets Shanghai today”.
Zhujiajiao
is Shanghai’s Venice. An ancient water town, located on the suburbs, that goes
throughout the country covering lakes and mountains’ beautiful landscapes.
A visit to Shanghai World Financial Centre isn’t also a waste of time as it is the most modern and developed part of the city. However, the beauty of the city just fulfils our soul and spirit, not our stomach, that’s why the next stop are the best burger restaurants in the city:
