Shanghai has a varied mix of churches and a few remaining temples. Jade Buddha Temple is worth the visit alone to see the 2-metre-tall Statue. Add in the cultural heritage and a few moments for some thought and reflection, and well, it\u2019s a place to slow down for a bit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yu Yuan Gardens<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It may be a city of modern styling but hidden among the concrete you\u2019ll find these tranquil gardens, which are found in the old part of town. Once you\u2019re inside, the contrast from the modern to the old is stark. This 400-year-old garden, also known as the Garden of Peace and Comfort, has pavilions, ponds and bridges to explore. It\u2019s classical Chinese and well worth a visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shanghai Disneyland<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just the preserve of the USA or Paris. Shanghai Disneyland offers the same Disney magic, the same rides, and above all charm. Maybe it\u2019s on your bucket list to visit all the different Disney destinations? You can bet that Mickey will there to greet you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every city has a symbol, a recognisable structure that features in campaigns and visuals across the world. The Oriental Pearl Tower is such that it\u2019s instantly recognisable. It\u2019s an unusual structure, but worth heading up for the view across to the central district and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shows <\/a>and Shopping<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Away from the sights, Shanghai can also count itself as one of the premium shopping destinations. Walk among the streets and you\u2019ll soon discover why. Top brands and unique local crafts are the order of the day, so to make you feel comfortable and tempt you with something a little different. Even a walk along the famous Bund will get those shopping twitches, twitching!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve shopped, you must see a show! China is famous for its acrobatics and you\u2019ll be eye-popping at what they can do! You might look at it through your fingers! Just warning you. It\u2019s spectacular.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shanghai is a city bustling with detail from up on high to down in the depths of the streets below. You need eyes in the back of your head, make no mistake. Make the most of your Shanghai tours, learn as you immerse yourself into the rich culture of this ever-developing city.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
