Hours in Shanghai 

Twenty-four hours in Shanghai provides an opportunity to explore the best of the past and present in this modern and fast-developing city.

Start your day off in the French Concession, an old international settlement in the center of the city. With its small, quiet lanes, European-style brick buildings and row houses blending Chinese and Western architecture, the French Concession maintains much of its 1930s character. Walk down Fuxing Road, Wukang Road and Changle Road and find a cafe with outdoor seating to enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the locals.

Hail a cab or take the metro to Yu Garden in the northeastern part of the old town. With its picturesque lakes, ancient bridges, and unusual rock formations, Yu Garden typifies classical Chinese gardens. Then have lunch at one of the many Shanghaies restaurants in Yu Garden, which includes Lubolang, the restaurant Bill Clinton is said to have tried during his official visit to China.

After lunch, take the subway to Lujiazu in the Pudong district. Upon exiting the subway station, stand in awe of the futuristic skyscrapers, such as the Orient Pearl TV Tower. After spending time in the bustle of the business district, head to Xintiandi. This old town was successfully revitalized with residential buildings (shikumen) that were converted into restaurants, bars and shops.

As night falls, head to The Bund, the waterfront district along the bank of the Huangpu River. At M on the Bund, one of the many stylish dining establishments in the area, enjoy a rooftop dining experience with delicious food and breathtaking views across the river.
