Shanghai grew into a great trading port in the 19th century, and the grand buildings of the Bund still line the west bank of the Huangpu river. Across the water, Pudong's towers include the Shanghai Tower, one of the tallest buildings in the world.

Wander the lanes of the former French Concession, visit Yu Garden and the Shanghai Museum, and eat xiaolongbao soup dumplings. The water towns of Zhujiajiao and Suzhou make easy day trips.
