Introduction
The Bund
Set on the mouth of the Yangtze River on Chinas east coast is Shanghai, former
and future financial gateway to China and one of the most populous cities in
the world.
This dynamic and booming centre is undergoing huge change and drawing millions with the promise of that elusive quick buck. Between the glitzy 21st Century skyscrapers, there are many reminders of the decadent days of a century ago. The grand European buildings of The Bund lend this city an air of sophistication, something it is keen to recapture on its own terms.
There is a lot to Shanghai and plenty to explore even if it does lack the scope of ancient cities such as Beijing. Still, most will come away happy after a 3 to 4 day trip. The most progressive and exciting of Chinas cities, and indeed the most open-minded, Shanghai is without a doubt poised to become a major international metropolis in the coming years.
Attractions
Shanghais prosperous and flamboyant past is most evident at The Bund. This picturesque
stretch saw the great trade of the Tai Pans and earned Shanghai the title The
Paris Of the East. The European promenade stands bold and proud and is now a
much-loved tourist spot with unrivalled views across the Huang Pu River to space
age Pudong. Among the grandeur is the original Hong Kong Shanghai Bank, still
guarded by 2 bronze lions to ward off evil spirits or robbers.
One of the worlds tallest TV towers, Oriental Pearl TV Tower pierces the sky
with its huge needle-like structure. Gigantic viewing platforms are shaped to
resemble pearls and it looks more like a prototype rocket for a mission to mars.
Tickets are available for all platforms but if youre tight in the pocket you
can go for the mere middle stage but still enjoy a commanding view over the
bund and local areas. Within the highest viewing platform there is a museum
of local history, which is quite interesting if you manage to get that high
up.
The surrounding Pudong Financial District, with wide tree lined avenues and commuters jammed into buses, has modern skyscrapers scattered about in every shape and size. The dominating TV Tower and Jinmao Tower are among China's tallest. The Public Parks of Mingzhu and Lujiazui are great vantage points to gaze up at the many modern skyline but lack the character of some of the other city parks. Shanghai's newest and most modern district is good for a few snaps but not really an attraction as such.
In contrast to the spanking new district of Pudong are the remnants of the old French Concession. The tree-lined avenues coupled with appealing well-preserved architecture make for a nice stroll.
Pre-colonial Shanghai was a typical walled fishing village up until the 1840s, and the only remaining place to catch a glimpse of the Chinese past is the Old City. An interesting maze of knick-knack shops, foodstalls and restaurants. Small temples are scattered about in every nook and cranny among pokey shops selling incense and candles. Count on getting lost no matter how many maps you have.
The old Yu Yuan Garden is an authentic Chinese water garden with many indigenous plants and flowers and strategically positioned traditional halls, and is the perfect spot to enjoy a pot of Chinese tea in the teahouse. Carps swimming around the ponds are a symbol of good luck and prosperity and the gardens possess enhanced feng shui.
Not far away a striking piece of modern architecture resembling a UFO on a launch pad houses the Shanghai Museum. It is a very impressive presentation and a far cry from the listless museums one usually encounters in China. Worthy exhibits include porcelain, bronzes and ethnic pieces.
Shanghai has never been famed for its religious or spiritual strengths but one of the few temples worth a trip is the Jade Buddha Temple. Inside is an impressive 2 metre high white jade Buddha coated with jewels and gold. The temple houses four halls - Hall of the Heavenly Kings, Grand Hall, Reclining Buddha Hall and Jade Buddha Chamber. Photos of the halls are allowed but not of the religious figure.
Located on the outskirts in a new development zone, is the rather drab Shanghai Zoo. Although the zoo is somewhat dilapidated, it does boast a pair of giant pandas. Hopefully this ageing tourist attraction will get a face-lift. In the meantime its not really worth the time.
ShoppingJade Buddha Temple
At the heart of the city is Nanjing Road Pedestrian District, closed to vehicles
but filled with shoppers. Shopping is broad, local retail shops as well as brand
names abound with shopping centres stretching for 2 or 3 km, terminating at
the Bund. You always know youre on Nanjing Road because of all the Pepsi logos
strutting out from lampposts.
The up-market department stores dominate the sidewalks of Huaihai Lu (Lu means Road in English). Shopping peaks at the weekends and they are noticeably empty on weekdays. Store clerks are willing to help but be patient as to them it is an opportunity to sharpen English and sales skills. Huaihai Lu is stuffed with many brand names and prices are fixed.
Booming China has an unenviable reputation as a major centre of manufacturing piracy. You can grab these copies from the street hawkers on the corner of Huaihai Lu / Xiangyang Lu. Rolex watches to Prada bags all look authentic but thats as far as it goes. Haggle!
The top stuff is available in the uptown Xu Jia Hui district commonly known for its government embassies, tree lined avenues and palatial villas. Class boutiques have popped up and cater to Shanghais upper crust.
The historic Old City is an interesting jumble of clothing, pearls, Chinese medicine and cheap toys and it still functions very much as the marketplace it has always been. There is an antique market and plenty of cheap paintings to haggle over. This is also the supposed birthplace of the willow pattern that graces many a Chinese tea set, and originates from the Huxingting Teahouse in the Yu Yuan Garden.
The outskirts of Shanghai also have quite a few variable antique shops and warehouses - again check in current local publications to see which ones are still in business, they tend to have a rapid turnover.
Note: there are strict laws governing the exporting of antiques from China. Genuinely valuable or historic pieces need the right paperwork or the goods will be confiscated at the airport, and you will probably be slapped with a fine for plundering cultural treasures.
Cyber Shanghai
Internet cafes are all the rage and widespread but mostly being designated in
Chinese they arent obvious to foreign visitors. Some places with better connections
and service would include Worldwide Network located on Jiang Su Road for approx
12RMB an hour, the aptly named budget option Intercafe on Fuzhou Road and the
smart but pricier Sparkice within Central Plaza Huai Hai Zhong Road, popular
with expats.
