A thriving and cosmopolitan megacity, Shanghai offers an eclectic mix of old and new.

Tucked amongst the plethora of gleaming shopping malls and towering skyscrapers you will find the atmospheric alleyways of Old Shanghai teeming with bustling markets, classic 1930’s architecture and ancient temples.

Be sure to immerse yourself in the historical charms of The Bund, lined with beautiful Art Deco buildings, and admire the views across to Pudong’s futuristic skyline.

Trailfinders offer a range of China holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand experience. Whether you want to explore China with your own private guides and drivers, on a sociable small group tour or on a stopover en route to another destination - they are the perfect people to ask.
