Shanghai: The Pearl of the Orient, where tradition meets future
In the heart of Mainland China lies Shanghai, a vibrant metropolis where Eastern charm harmoniously intertwines with Western influences. Divided by the Huangpu Jiang River, Shanghai boasts a captivating architectural landscape.
Split in two by the Huangpu Jiang River with Puxi on the West and Pudong on the East of the river, Shanghai has historic shikumen houses that blend the styles of Chinese houses with European design flair, in addition to one of the richest collections of Art Deco buildings in the world.

It is a testament to China's rapid development and cosmopolitan flair, where towering skyscrapers coexist with historical shikumen houses and luxury boutiques sit side by side with bustling street markets.
The city's cosmopolitan nature is further enriched by various foreign concessions established during the turn of the 20th century. From elegant Parisian-style architecture to charming Tudor-style buildings reminiscent of England, and even structures echoing the architectural styles of 1930s New York and Chicago, Shanghai offers a diverse array of architectural wonders.
Visitors can explore the iconic Bund, find tranquillity in Yu Garden, or marvel at the breathtaking cityscape from the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. With its rich blend of Eastern and Western cultures, Shanghai offers a dynamic and unforgettable urban experience.
