 Shanghai
- China
Known in years past as the “Paris of
the East” and “Queen of the Orient”,
Shanghai is China’s most populous and sophisticated
city. Its infamous Great World Entertainment Center
has been transformed into a modern state-of-the-art
theater and Shanghai Youth Center. The wide boulevard
known as the Bund was the centerpiece of colonial
Shanghai and is a major part of the 21st century showcase
that Shanghai has become...
Recent years have brought dramatic changes to nightlife
in Shanghai. New bars and clubs open almost weekly.
A process of sorting has been occurring by which many
new offerings are tried and tested with some closing
soon after opening, only to be replaced by others
(or reopened under new management) within a short
period of time. Sports bars, comedy clubs, theme bars
(Egyptian, Irish, glamour and fashion, Middle East,
colonial, and others) are all part of the wide array
of choices.
The Huangpu River divides Central Shanghai into two
distinct areas: Pudong (east of the river) and Puxi
(west of the river). The best known attractions of
interest to visitors are in Puxi, including the Bund,
the centerpiece of tourism, (though not the physical
center of town). West of the Bund is the former International
Settlement and one of Shanghai's main shopping streets,
East Nanjing Road. South of the Bund is Old Town,
a maze of narrow lanes and landmarks of the heart
of the original city of Shanghai. West of this Old
Town and hidden in the backstreets north and south
of Huaihai Road (Shanghai's premier shopping street)
is the former French Concession, with its tree-lined
streets, 1930s architecture, cafes, and bars. At its
western end, in Xintiandi, is the more recently established
collection of Western-style restaurants and bars.
Continuing southeast, the way opens onto the massive
shopping mall intersection of Xujiahui. Farther south
is Shanghai Stadium!
Shanghai, the Eastern Pearl, is a welcoming and enchanting
city and a fascinating vacation destination
