Shanghai History, Tourism, Business Travel, and Vacation Guide. Shanghai is home to the worlds second-tallest tower and a host of other neck-craning colossi. But its not all sky-scraping razzmatazz. Beyond the crisply cool veneer of the modern city typified by Pudong, you can lift the lid to a treasure chest of architectural styles. The citys period of greatest cosmopolitan excess the 1920s and 1930s left the city with pristine examples of art deco buildings, most of which survived the 20th-century vicissitudes assailing Shanghai. And theres more: from Jesuit cathedrals, Jewish synagogues and Buddhist temples to home-grown longtang (laneway) and shíkÙmén (stone gate) housing, Shanghais architectural heritage is like none other. Cuisine: Thirty years ago Shanghais dour restaurant scene was all tin trays and scowling waiting staff, with international food confined to the dining rooms of exclusive hotels. Today the mouth-watering restaurant scene is varied, exciting and up to the minute and Shanghai has its own Michelin dining guide in 2017, proving just how far the city has come. Food is the hub of Chinese social life. Its over a meal that people catch up with friends, celebrate and clinch business deals, and spend hard-earned cash. Some of your best memories of the city could be culinary, so do as the Shanghainese do and make a meal of it. Shopping: Bearing in mind that Chinese shoppers constitute up to 47% of the global luxury-goods market, shopping is rarely done in half-measures in Shanghai. Retail therapy is one way of spending new money and the Shanghainese arent calledlittle capitalists) by the rest of China for nothing, especially at the luxury end of things. But its not all Prada, Gucci and Burberry. There are pop-up boutiques, bustling markets, cool vintage shops and young designer outlets. Beyond clothing youre also spoiled for choice, whether youre in the market for antiques, ceramics, art, Tibetan jewellery...whatever is on your shopping list. Entertainment & the Arts: Bijng often hogs the limelight as Chinas cultural nexus but, for what is essentially a town of wheelers and dealers, Shanghai is surprisingly creative. Many art galleries are exciting, offering a window onto contemporary Chinese concerns, while nightlife options have exploded. Acrobatics shows are always a favourite and you might grab the chance to catch some Chinese opera. Shanghais music and club scene is vibrant: from unpretentious jazz and indie venues to all-night hip-hop and electro dance parties, the city swings with the best of them.
