Shanghai is a huge metropolis in which neighboring districts are often completely different from each other. Such diversity is a godsend for tourists: you can learn a lot of new and unusual things in one trip. The city is constantly changing, while relying on traditions. Therefore, both lovers of antiquities and fans of progress will find it fascinating.
The Huangpu River divides the city into two parts. Located on its eastern shore, Pudong district is developing faster than others, as it has a special status. The tallest skyscrapers are concentrated here. Excursion ships sail along the river, observation decks are open on high-rises.
The old parts of the city are rich in Chinese flavor: museums with historical and cultural exhibits, avenues with architectural monuments and shopping streets where markets and boutiques are located side by side.
