Progressive, flashy, and fun Shanghai is the epitome of the new China. But don't be fooled, plenty of the old China still exists in this skyscraper populated metropolis. Don't believe us? Head to the aptly named Old Town area of Shanghai and look no further.
Other remnants of traditional ways exist. Throughout the city of Shanghai, which is the heart of China's booming economy, you'll find temple after temple, where the faithful flock to worship. These quiet, calm places amongst Shanghai's hustle and bustle are some of the most beautiful and the most intriguing.
Some eschew Shanghai vacations, saying that Beijing is much more interesting. We think this is exactly why tourism in Shanghai is so fascinating. In Beijing, the history and rich culture of China is apparent right from the start. But in Shanghai you have to dig a little bit for it. It is this mix of the ultra-modern alongside the ancient ways of life that make Shanghai so compelling.
