Luxury Holidays in Shanghai

History and modernity in this exciting Chinese city

Bisected by the Huangpu River, Shanghai is made up of two contrasting halves – the west bank old town of Puxi, and east side Pudong’s gleaming, skyscraper filled modernity.

Immerse yourself in stately 1920s Shanghai along the Bund, or explore classical Chinese architecture in the Yuyuan Gardens. Enjoy exquisite vegetarian Buddhist cuisine at the Longhua or Jade Buddha Temples. Shanghai is seafood heaven, with steamed dishes a speciality – find fine dining at Xintiandi’s upmarket restaurants.

The heart of the thriving, internationally sought-after Chinese contemporary art scene is found along Maoganshan Road. Spectacular sprawling views await you at the top of the high-altitude Oriental Pearl TV Tower, and come evening time stroll along neon-lit Nanjing Dong Lu, starting at People Square.
