A Peep Into Shanghai’s Past: Historical Sightseeing Tour |
|
|
See the lobby of the famous Peace Hotel, the Old Jewish and French corners and walk down the Bund
| Overview | |
|
Shanghai has a rich architectural legacy and is home to some of the most famous art deco buildings in China. The Peace Hotel has been a Shanghai landmark for more than a century.Located on the corner of busy Nanjing Road and the Bund, this enduring monumentwas the centre of Shanghai’s nightlife in the 1920s and 30s. Its lobby is an art deco masterpiece. The former HSBC building is a six-floor neo-classical building in the Bund area of Shanghai. Designed by a British architecture firm, this building is often seen as one of the best examples of neo-classicism in China. It has been called "the most luxurious building from the Suez Canal to the Bering Strait". Visit Shanghai’s famous waterfront, the Bund and enjoy the city’s impressive skyline. It offers a splendid view of Pudong’s modern skyscrapers across the river. There was a large and varied Jewish community in Old Shanghai. They were some of the richest people in the city, and built many of the grandest structures, including the world-famous Peace Hotel on the Bund. The French Concession is one of the loveliest areas in Shanghai. Today, the area's central Huaihai Road is a busy shopping street, but the tree-lined avenues and their many Tudor mansions still retain an air of the "Paris of the East".
