The province of Shanghai is dominated by its eponymous metropolis, one of China’s major economic and cultural hubs. Here, modern skyscrapers sit near Buddhist temples and art deco buildings, while sleek museums stand alongside manicured gardens and cramped alleys. Shop for local crafts, slurp freshly made noodles, visit historic museums and enjoy a rare moment of peace in a tucked-away monastery. Situated on the mouth of the Yangtze River, the city of Shanghai blends modern and historic elements, as well as drawing inspiration from both Eastern and Western cultures. At the Shanghai History Museum, find out more about the city’s origins as a small fishing and textiles town that transitioned into a popular destination for foreigners to establish homes and businesses. To see the city from different perspectives, walk along the riverfront promenade known as the Bund. Marvel at the various architectural styles visible from the walkway. For a bird’s-eye view, head for the observation deck at the Shanghai Tower. When the weather is nice, visitors and locals converge on the Yùyuán Gardens to stroll, sit in the shade and watch colourful fish swimming around in the pools. Soak up the sun with a boat trip in Zhujiajiao, a historic water town in the suburbs, known for its Ming- and Qing-era bridges. If it’s raining, consider taking shelter in Xīntiāndì, a shopping and entertainment complex packed with boutique shops and restaurants. Explore the city’s religious past at the Buddhist Jìng’ān Temple. Smell the burning incense and inspect the ornate statues that decorate the halls. Other notable Buddhist sites include the Jade Buddha Temple, one of the only active monasteries remaining in Shanghai. Book your holiday in the spring or fall for the best weather or visit in the first week of October during the National Day holiday when crowds flock to the city for celebrations. Fly into one of two international airports, Hongqiao or Pudong, to start your journey through the region. Upscale shopping complexes, ancient temples and relaxing gardens make Shanghai a top destination for travellers looking to experience modern-day China. ### Where to stay in Shanghai ![Xintiandi showing a bar, street scenes and café scenes](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/47000/47608-Xintiandi.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=350&h=192&q=medium) ### Downtown Shanghai 4.5/5(11 area reviews) Known for its beautiful gardens and popular shops, there's plenty to explore in Downtown Shanghai.

People in general are helpful and considerate. ### 4/5 - Good Maz Excellent public transport, plenty to see and do for a stopover. It's easier to travel independently here than in other parts of China. ### 4/5 - Good Verified traveller Not easy to shopping or take taxi if you don't have wechat or alipay. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller Amazing city especially on evening when all the lights are on, really recommend the acrobatic show if you the time. ### 4/5 - Good Verified traveller Love all about Shanghai ## Cities near Shanghai ![Photo by Roger Knau](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/2/d2309e5f64761888a0ce8f8b52118c13.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Nantong [](https://expedia.co.uk/Nantong.dx2604) ![Suzhou](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/65000/65842-Suzhou.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Suzhou [](https://expedia.co.uk/Suzhou.dx3353) ![Jiaxing featuring street scenes and heritage architecture](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/65000/65880-Jiaxing-Prefecture.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Jiaxing [](https://expedia.co.uk/Jiaxing.dx6047542) ![Zhoushan](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/1/27772166282270c547521e00581bd3e5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Zhoushan [](https://expedia.co.uk/Zhoushan.dx6048027) ### Other places like Shanghai ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia -
