Serving as the largest base of Chinese industrial technology, the important seaport and china's largest commercial and financial center, shanghai draws the attention of the whole world. Although the city is rapidly developing into one of the most marvelous modern metropolitans, Shanghai would not be unique without blending the new with the old.
While it can't match the epic history of Beijing or Xi'an's grander sights, Shanghai is the hotspot of modern china; a cosmopolitan city buzzing with the concept of 'lifestyle revolution' ,showcased in the architectural temples of art, fine dining and contemporary urban living on the Bund.
One of the musts for tourists is Nanjing Road. Huaihai Road intrigues those with modern and fashionable tastes, while Sichuan North Road meets the demands of ordinary folk. In addition, Xujiahui Shopping Center, Yuyuan Shopping City, Jiali Sleepless City are thriving and popular destinations for those who are seeking to buy something special as a memento of their visit.
