WELCOME |
The
powerhouse of Shanghai is one of China's most exciting cities,
and nowhere is the Country's development more evident than
here. Ultra-modern skyscrapers stand next to traditional quarters,
while designer boutiques rub shoulders with old markets. Inland,
the towns of the Yangtze such as Nanjing, Hangshou and Suzhou
offer an insight into a more traditional way of life, while
the mighty Yangtze River itself is dramatic and serene, and
a few nights aboard a cruise boat is an unforgettable way
to see this area. |

WHAT
TO DO |
Central
Shanghai is a mix of modern and traditional. The Bund is the
famous waterfront of colonial buildings, while the French Concession
area is awash with Art Deco buildings. Ultra-modern Pudong was
marshland but has developed in to the new financial and commercial
hub of the city, and is home to some of the most dramatic buildings.
Away from Shanghai, a few nights in each of Nanjing, Hangshou
and Suzhou will allow you to explore unique watertowns in this
less visited region. |

WHERE
TO STAY |
Hotels
in Shanghai generally offer high standards, with international
chains such as Shangri-La and Radisson being available. Most
properties are located on the West Bank, with many close to
The Bund or Nanjing Road. Options in Pudong are also available.
Away from Shanghai, options are more limited although standards
remain good. |

HOLIDAY
IDEAS |
It's
easy to visit Shanghai as a city break, or holidays to Shanghai
can include other areas of China too, as Shanghai is a great
location to combine on a longer twin centre holiday or multi
centre holiday to China. Combine Shanghai with Beijing, Xi'an
and other areas of China. The towns of Nanjing, Hangzhou and
Suzhou can be combined with Shanghai and other areas of China,
while Yangtze River cruises can be incorporated in to various
China holidays. We also have a range of touring holidays to
