Shanghai

Once a fishing and textiles town, today the most populous city in China, denoted as a global city for its influence over commerce, finance, culture, art, fashion, research, and entertainment. Explore the business district called the Bund, Yu Yuan Garden, the only fully restored classical Chinese garden in Shanghai, and the Jade Buddha Temple. Participation in a silk workshop is possible, where you can observe the process of making this luxurious textile. Souvenir browsing can take place along Taikang Road, winding through a restored traditional shikumen neighborhood.
