Shanghai At first glance little remains of the old Shanghai characterised in numerous novels and films. Opium dens and enchanting courtyard houses have been replaced by modern housing and shopping centres and yet certain areas of the city still retain their ancient charm. The Bund forms part of Shanghai's most famous mile and is a focal point of the city, particularly beautiful in the early morning or during the evening. Take time to explore the French Concession with its villalined streets, interesting boutiques and fashionable restaurants or the Chinese old town with its maze of narrow streets and market stalls. Stylish restaurants and bars abound in Shanghai, be sure to seek some out.
