Shanghai

Shanghai has a long history as a gateway to China on the Yangtze River Delta. It is the largest economic and commercial center in China and one of China's cultural centers.
Besides its modernization, the multicultural charm of the city gives it a unique glamor. Here one finds the perfect blend of cultures, modern and traditional, western and oriental. The new skyscrapers and old Shikumen together form the skyline of the city. Western customs and Chinese traditions have intertwined and shaped the culture of the city, making the stay of visitors unforgettable.
The best times to visit Shanghai are March-May and September-November when the weather is nice. Try to avoid Labor Day celebrations (1-3 May) and National Holiday holidays (1-7 October) when all tourist sites are filled with Chinese people. The hot summer and the cold winter are good seasons to travel in terms of cost.
