    Shanghai, China
 
 

Shanghai is the largest city and an excellent sea port in China. Located in the middle of the east coastline, the city has links with 110 cities in 48 countries and is the gateway to China for many travelers.

Unique from other cities, Shanghai is distinctly divided into two parts by the Huangpu River: Puxi where the older part of the city exists and preserves rich cultural heritage, and Pudong which displays the modern facet and is recognized by its extremely impressive skyscrapers and urban charm. Both areas offer great sightseeing opportunities.

The true symbol of the city, however, is the Bund. Dozens of historical buildings from colonial era line up along the promenade and light up at night to create a dazzling spectacle that one will never forget. What’s more, Shanghai produces one of China’s best cuisines, including the renowned Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), steamed crab, fried pork buns, yellow croaker noodle soup and many more. Explore more this November at APVRS 2019!
