• The most famous shopping street and lighting effects in China, Nanging Rd, is just a short walk from Bund.
• The famous Xintain Di district: - this area is social hub of Shanghai, very best in chic and style, expensive cars, fine wine, best restaurants, a very happening place.
• At southern end of another famous shopping street, Huai Hai Rd, is an area known as “French Concession”, where peaceful tree-lined streets with wonderful colonial-style villas would make you think you were actually in Europe.
• A must thing to see and do, is to visit viewing platform at top of Jin Mao Tower, third highest building on earth, tallest with an hotel inside (the Hyatt). This stunning building is 89 stories high and view of city from top is spectacular. A very special treat is to have a buffet dinner at Hyatt on 53rd level, then go up to bar on 89th floor and enjoy a drink and view, which at night will amaze you.
• Shop !!! There are Antique markets, Bird and Bug markets, Commodity markets, Clothes and Fabric markets, local markets and a very famous market where you can buy all world’s best brand names, at amazingly low prices. Shanghai is a shopper’s heaven, come with a small suitcase and leave with a big one.
