The Place

Shanghai, China

City introduction

Shanghai, China
Shanghai · China

Bund skylines, Yu Garden calm and France-Concession streets. Shanghai plays East against West at full scale — the Bund's colonial riverfront facing Lujiazui's tower cluster, Yu Garden's Ming-era rockeries behind Nanjing Road's shopping mile, and the leafy French Concession in between. It is China's most cosmopolitan city and its easiest to walk.
