Shanghai

Shanghai is a futuristic metropolis that beautifully marries its colonial past with a dazzling, high-tech present. The Bund offers a spectacular skyline view, where historic European-style buildings face the ultra-modern skyscrapers of Pudong. Explore the charming French Concession with its tree-lined streets and boutique shops, or get lost in the vibrant energy of Nanjing Road, a paradise for shoppers. With a dynamic food scene and a bustling arts community, Shanghai is a city of endless possibilities and thrilling contrasts.

I stayed near People’s Square and it was perfect for exploring. The museums, parks, and metro connections made my trip super easy. I especially loved walking along the Huangpu River in the evening.

didn’t expect Shanghai to have such amazing art galleries. The West Bund Art Center and M50 district are perfect for spending an afternoon surrounded by creativity.

Shanghai is dazzling at night with its skyline, but the crowds in Nanjing Road made walking almost impossible. Loved the vibe, hated the noise.

Clitus Weiling

The metro system is super efficient, yet so packed during rush hour that I barely had space to breathe. A love-hate experience for sure.
