The Pearl of the Orient. Paris of the East. The City Upon the Sea. Shanghai has been known by many names since it was founded approximately 1,300 years ago. Today, it is one of the world’s most populous urban centers and a favorite travel destination among jetsetters from around the globe.
During your stay, you’ll have ample time to discover the delights of Shanghai at your own pace. Start early in the morning and end late at night — the choice is up to you! Delve into the artistic and historic sides of the city with self-guided outings to galleries or museums. Some highlights include China Art Museum, also called the China Art Palace, the continent’s largest art museums viewing impressive works of classic and modern art created by renowned artists. Both Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower and Shanghai Tower — the world’s second-tallest tower at 2,073 feet (632 meters) — offer incredible views of city and surrounding area. Parks embody the idea of old and new living in harmony throughout the city, including Yuyuan Garden, which epitomizes classic Suzhou-style landscaping, while Century Park is the city’s answer to New York’s Central Park. Round out your sightseeing day with a visit to The Bund, a popular waterfront that offers scenic views of skyscrapers and the river.
Whatever you decide, be sure to fuel up each morning with your included buffet breakfast.
