Shanghai, China’s largest city, offers many exciting sightseeing opportunities for travelers. Despite having a population of more than 24 million, this always busy city offers a number of quieter historic districts and places to visit alongside its many newer tourist sites.

Things to do here include visiting the city’s world-class museums and art galleries, such as the Shanghai Museum and the China Art Museum; wandering through lovely gardens and parks; or getting in some shopping, especially in the “New World” pedestrian area with its luxury boutiques and galleries.
Also fun is exploring the city’s many fine old temples and traditional pagodas.
