'Paris of the Orient', that's what they used to call Shanghai in the past, when it was still the leading power in trade and opium. From the communist revolution that followed, and which swept Shanghai into anonimity, can only some traces be found in present Shanghai. Today, Shanghai is the commercial center of China and has one of the most dynamic skylines in the world. The 17-million-citizens city shows her dualistic face in every corner of the city.
The Old Centre in the Yu Yuan area, where you can find one of the oldest streets of China, the ' sights, is the heart of the modern town. It is a good starting point for a boat trip on the Huangpu river or a visit to the Yu Yuan Market. Because of the fact that Shanghai is quite a walkable city, you will find the city museums and interesting sites along your way. Although the city is fairly commercial these days, Shanghai's residents have made an major effort in creating 'green zones' in the city....and they've succeeded. There is always a park or traditional garden in the vicinity. Sit down, relax and let others do the meditating for you.
