City Breaks in Shanghai, China with Regent Holidays

Shanghai City Breaks - China 2008

3 night city breaks in Shanghai from£ per person including flights.

Glitz, glamour and bright lights are not our usual expectations of China, but over the last decade Shanghai has become a boomtown of the East. Shiny glass and chrome towers have sprung from former wasteland and traffic zips by above your head on freshly constructed fly-overs.

The newly partially pedestrianised Nanjing Road will satisfy the most ardent shop-a-holic. To see how strong the British power was during the colonial era, walk along the Bund beside the Peace Hotel, the Banks and the former British Consulate, all massive granite structures built to last forever.

To delve further back in time, turn your eyes away from the modern skyscrapers and while away time watching traffic meander down the Hung Po River, just as it did in ancient times. West certainly meets East here is an explosion of modern design and technology, fused with ancient Chinese customs.

Regent recommends...waking early and watching the silent agile movements of the Shanghainese as they practise the ancient art of Tai Chi. Then head over to the Yu Garden Bazaar for a delicious breakfast of steamed dumplings - try the delicious Nanxiang dumplings stuffed with pork and dipped into vinegar and ginger.
