GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT TOUR

Shanghai is the largest and most developed city in China, the country’s main center for finance and fashion, and one of the world’s most populous and important cities.

Shanghai is a fascinating mix of East and West. It has historic shikumen houses that blend the styles of Chinese houses with European design flair, and it has one of the richest collections of Art Deco buildings in the world. There were concessions (designated districts) controlled by Western powers in the late 19th and early 20th century, so in many places the city has buildings in various Western styles.

Climate

Shanghai has a humid subtropical climate. Spring can feature lengthy periods of cloudy and rainy weather. Summer temperatures often get over 35°C (95°F) with very high humidity, which means that you will perspire a lot and should take lots of changes of clothing or plan on shopping for clothing during the visit.Autumn is generally mild with warm and sunny weather.During winter, temperatures rarely rise above 10°C (50°F) during the day and often fall below 0°C (32°F) at night. Snowfall is rare, typically only occurring only once every few years

Getting there

Shanghai has two main airports, with Pudong the main international gateway and Hongqiao serving mostly domestic flights but also some international destinations in Asia. Transfer between the two takes about 1 hour by taxi. There are also direct shuttle buses.

 

Pudong Airport (PVG IATA)Shanghai’s main international airport. If you are arriving in Shanghai on an overseas flight, it is likely that PVG is your point of entry.

Things to see and do

Where to go in Shanghai depends largely on available time and your interests. For the areas with most of the main tourist attractions see the Downtown and Pudong sections above and the district articles they link to.

Many of Shanghai’s main tourist sights are in Huangpu District:

  • The Old City is the original Chinese city going back about 1000 years, now a major tourist area. The center of that area is Yuyuan Gardens.
  • The International Settlement was built North and West of the Old City, starting in the 1840s. In colonial-period Western books, “Shanghai” means that settlement.
  • Nanjing Roadwas the main street of the old British Concession; today it is a major upmarket shopping street.
  • There are water townsin the Western suburbs, popular with both Shanghai residents and visitors. They are quite scenic with canals as the main method of transport and many traditional-style bridges and buildings.
