Shanghai holidays provide you with an extraordinary, fun-filled insight into China’s biggest city. Shanghai is filled with an abundance of skyscrapers, historical landmarks and characteristic lanes. Your bespoke holiday in Shanghai can be enjoyed by families, couples and solo travellers alike, as this vibrant and bustling city has plenty to explore.
Among the modern streets, underneath the glamour of Shanghai, there are thousands of stories to learn. Discover the city’s past in the many museums and art galleries, which are home to quirky exhibitions and treasured relics. Home to over 120,000 historic pieces, Shanghai Museum is a great place to visit. If you love art, then also take time at Power Station of Art, with its range of contemporary art exhibitions throughout the year.
Shanghai holidays: a remarkable city filled with history
The bustling streets of Shanghai are packed with restaurants, cafés, galleries and shops, all of which offer different atmospheres, delicious cuisine and delightful crafts that make ideal gifts to take back home for your loved ones. Tianzifang is an ideal place for strolling and shopping, while you navigate its labyrinth of narrow alleyways.
Once you’ve had your fill of the bustling city, explore Yu Garden, Shanghai’s classic Chinese garden. Yu Garden is the perfect place to unwind as you enjoy the pavilions, halls, rockeries and ponds. Alternatively, relax on one of the water boats in Shanghai. We recommend you take a tour along the Huangpu River. During this 40 minute cruise you can observe the city’s beautiful buildings, which line the waterfront.
