Shanghai's Best Walks
Shanghai's Best...
Neighbourhoods
Positively electric, Shanghai is where Chinas aspirations come to life. A symbol of the countrys emerging status, a byword for opportunity and sophistication, the city is all that and more. Whether youre after food, fashion or futuristic skylines, Shanghais buzzing confidence and nonstop action make for a veritable roller-coaster ride: hang on and have fun.
The Bund ( )Mainland Chinas most iconic concession-era backdrop, the Bund encapsulates Shanghai with its postcard-perfect good looks. A dazzling curve of bombastic masonry, it leads the way as one of the citys most stylish destinations.
Shanghai Museum ( )Shanghais best museum by a long shot, this must-see is a marvellous tribute to the path of beauty throughout the millennia, from ancient bronzes and transcendent landscapes to gorgeous ceramic masterpieces.
Yuyuan Gardens & Bazaar ( )For some, the Old Towns beleaguered charms are one of the most alluring parts of a Shanghai visit. This classical garden is a fitting contrast to the citys future-now mantra.
Qibao ( )When you tire of Shanghais slick, international modernity, head for the quintessentially Chinese landscapes beyond the city centre. Qibao is the closest of the nearby canal towns, a mere half-hour away on the metro.
M50 ( )Located in a former cotton mill, the industrially chic M50 is the citys main creative hub. Dozens of edgy galleries and occasional events make this an absorbing place to wander.
Tianzifang ( )This engaging warren of shikumen (stone-gate house) architecture and hip boutiques is the perfect spot for browsing while soaking up the flavours of the ever-elusive traditional Shanghai neighbourhood.
Jade Buddha Temple ( )Despite first impressions, the city does have a strong current of religious tradition. Its best observed in this century-old Buddhist temple, which is witness to a continual stream of worshippers throughout the day.
Xintiandi ( )A visitor favourite, this prettified strip of traditional Shanghai housing is probably one of the only places in the world where fine dining, designer shopping and communism intersect.
Shanghai is much more than the Bund and Xintiandi to truly experience the city, you need to get under its skin, an experience best had by exploring small lanes, leafy side streets and old alleyways.
