Highlights in Shanghai

• The Bund – If you're in Shanghai, you should not miss this beautiful waterfront boulevard. The Bund is lined with the heritage buildings that showcase the city's pre-1949 past and across the river from the Pudong skyscrapers of its future. At dawn, The Bund is already bustling with locals ballroom dancing, exercising, and practising tai chi and qi gong. You will find Chinese tourists, foreigners, and Shanghai locals spending their day at the Bund. The Bund transforms at night where the towers will light up with neon lights reflected in the Huangpu River.

This alleyway is packed with restaurants, cafés, galleries, and shops. From T-shirts to leather journals and shoes, tea, and vintage photographs of Shanghai, you will surely find something to bring home. Tianzifang is accessible from the front, on Taikang Lu, or the backside at 155 Jianguo Zhong Lu.
• Longhua Temple – The Longhua temple is one of the famous temples in Shanghai. You may have heard about it from J.G. Ballard’s Empire of the Sun or seen the Spielberg film adaptation.

The magnificent centrepiece is a 7-story, 8-sided pagoda, which unfortunately can’t be entered.
