Shanghai – A Few Handy Tips for the First Time Travellers

With the Splash of Neon Colours, Shanghai is a Skyline that Brushes the Clouds…!!

Shanghai, the name stimulates illustrations of bright lights, an emblematic skyline, and all the mystery and glamour shot in the James Bond Movie (especially Skyfall). The city is a perfect example of old world charm and a new modern technology. It is a growing modern economy on one hand and the dispersed ancient memento of the Chinese Dynasties on the other. For the first time travellers, it can be a little confusing.

Below are some amazing things to do in this enthusiastic city: 

The Elegant - Oriental Pearl Tower

A Shanghai trip is just incomplete without a trip to the Oriental Pearl Tower, amiably the most quintessential of Shanghai’s many neck-craning skyscrapers. Climb up about 259 meters high on the upper platform and capture it on your camera. The tower has the glass floor that allows you giddy yet striking views of the complete city.

                                                                    

The Bund offering you stunning picturesque view

Set exactly in the middle of the city - Shanghai - the waterfront area is an exceptionally beautiful zone running along the west bank of the Huangpu River. This place is perfectly designed for the great shots of the astounding Pudong-district skyline, which is right across the river. Here, the night view is like straight out of a futuristic movie..!!

 An interesting ride under the Huangpu River

Choose to take an interesting ride under the Huangpu River and enjoy the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel that will take you on an audio-visual ride through a tunnel constructed under the river on an automated car. Of course, you can go on a river cruise ride, but the under river ride will give you a completely awe-inspiring experience. It is one of the top tourist attractions that definitely give you a ride to remember forever…!!

 Spend some time in the lap of nature at Yu Garden

Yes...it is a Chinese garden..!! Sprawling over 2 hectares of land and is home to numerous antiques from the Ming Dynasty. Yu Garden is a perfect reflection of the Chinese landscaping with glistening ponds, Ming-styled awning and towers, and a 12 meter high rockery inclusive of caves, gorges and peaks.

 Bow your heads at the City God Temple

Don’t forget to bow down your head at the City God Temple situated in the old walled city. This beautiful temple is devoted to the city gods, in the traditions of the most Chinese Towns. The temple is well surrounded by countless restaurants, teahouses and souvenir shops. It is one of the great places to spend time scouting through the local culture.
