City Breaks & Travel Deals To Shanghai
Shanghai is a great city break destination in Asia. One of China's most recognizable cities, famous for the many skyscrapers and fantastic lights that dominate the city skyline, Shanghai is jam packed with things to do and sights to see for any visitor. The city is known worldwide and is the most developed and largest town in China, being a hive of activity, noise and people. Split into the Puxi and Pudong areas, there are plenty of exciting places to explore throughout the city, from the old colonial era buildings of the Bund and the Old City to the fabulous skyscrapers and new buildings on Pudong. The architecture of the metropolis is itself a splendor, with old Chinese styles and art deco designs, as well as the ultra modern. Shanghai's attractions too are mirrored in the styles of the buildings - tourists will find history, art, culture and entertainment throughout this great Chinese city.
The first time a visitor takes a city break in Shanghai will likely want to get a few pictures of the fabulous skyline and views of the area for which Shanghai is famous. Numerous high rises offer spectacular city views, one of note being the Oriental Pearl Building, as well as the Shanghai Financial Centre, located in the Pudong area. Next, after having seen the ultra modern side of town, travelers are advised to head over to the older part of the city. The area known as the Old City is full of charming old Chinese wooden houses, while the Bund area highlights some of the best colonial architecture from the beginning of the 20th century. It is not all about architecture though in Shanghai - there are some brilliant museums, great bars and nightlife, as well as plenty of interesting old temples reflecting local culture. Shanghai is the center of modern China, and a break in this fabulous city will be one of a lifetime.
During vacations in Shanghai, voyagers who have plenty of cash to splash can find a brilliant selection of 5-star luxury hotels spread throughout the city. The Howard Johnson Business Hotel is famous for luxurious rooms and great facilities, while the Les Suites Orient is appreciated for the plush décor. There is also the Crown Plaza Century Park, which is equally impressive. On the mid-range hotels in Shanghai, there is plenty of choice as well. The Jin Jiang Pacific Hotel is an excellent example of a good 3-star hotel, centered right near the great nightlife of Nanjing. There is also the 3-star Donghu Guesthouse with its own swimming pool, and the Seventh Heaven Hotel has its own spa facilities. Right at the other end of the scale, those on a tight vacation budget will find plenty of great cheap hotels and hostels in Shanghai like the Shanghai Le Tour Traveler's Rest Youth Hostel known for some great deals and excellent facilities.
When on city breaks in Shanghai, tourists should take the time to check out some unique local experiences. Visiting a traditional teahouse and witnessing the tea tasting ceremony while sampling the great selection of teas available in China is a mandatory moment. Sailing down the river for some excellent panoramic views of the city and shopping in the local markets as well as the higher end malls and shops on Nanjing Road is also a "must-do" activity. Then, when the noises and traffic of the big city are getting too much, voyagers are advised to head to the Shanghai city beach with its 1.5 miles (2 kilometers) of promenade, entertainment, and golden sands. This spot is an excellent place for water and beach sports and a good change from the traditional image that glitzy Shanghai is better known for. To get right out of Shanghai on a day trip, visitors should head to the old town of Qibao or the ancient town of Xitang for some lovely quaint town life away from the big smoke…
