Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport · approx. 14 km from Shanghai
Shanghai is one of the best places to experience China's mix of history, style, and modern urban energy. The city brings together the Bund's historic waterfront, Pudong's futuristic skyline, tree-lined former concession streets, lilong neighborhoods, museums, design districts, shopping streets, cafes, restaurants, nightlife, parks, art spaces, and one of China's most polished city lifestyles.
A visit can include walking along the Bund, crossing to Lujiazui for skyline views, exploring the former French Concession, visiting West Bund or M50 for contemporary art, trying local breakfast and Shanghainese food, browsing bookstores and cafes, walking riverside routes, or spending a day at Shanghai Disneyland. Shanghai also works well as a base for nearby destinations such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuzhen, Nanjing, and other Yangtze River Delta cities.
