★Introduction of Shanghai, China
Shanghai, where East meets modern, showcases a stunning contrast between the colonial-era buildings along the Bund and the skyscrapers of Lujiazui across the Huangpu River. Tree-lined streets in former French Concession hide art galleries and cafes in historic villas, while the ornate roofs of Yu Garden watch over steamy baskets of soup dumplings. As night falls, the river becomes a mirror for neon reflections, and the city pulses with energy—from the lively narrow lanes (longtang) to cutting-edge art exhibitions. Shanghai is a dynamic blend of tradition and innovation, forever evolving.
