With So Much To Do,
Take A Long Vacation In Shanghai, China

Visit the Paris of the East, China’s must-see city, Shanghai. Situated on the banks of the Yangtze River Delta, China’s largest city is not only its cultural Mecca, but also has its most lively markets. Shanghai’s museums and temples, along with People’s Square, offer its visitors great insight into the history and modern day growth of this great city. This summer, all of China will erupt in celebration as the country hosts the 2008 Olympics. Be a part of the celebration by visiting Shanghai. While there, indulge in these particular treasures:

• Shanghai Museum: The building itself is an architectural showpiece reminiscent of the Han Dynasty, resembling an ancient tripod and features a glass dome on top. This museum is truly one of the finest in all of China
• Shanghai Grand Theater: A magnificent addition to the city's resurging arts and cultural scene, the Shanghai Grand Theater is near the active People’s Square. Playing host to international concerts and performances, the theater is a place to catch the best in Shanghai
• Shanghai Symphony Orchestra: Playing every Sunday night at the Jing An Hotel, the orchestra always delights its listeners. Here, you will experience the works of the most famous composers, including Bach and Mozart, and also hear distinctive Chinese composers
• Changan Gallery: In the middle of Pu Dong's business area lies one of Shanghai’s hidden treasures. This gallery showcases works from artists who have developed a style that is unique to the area. The curator will also help point you in the right direction as you follow your art interests throughout the city
• Take a walking tour through one of these many lively areas: The Bund, Nan Jing Road and Jing An District, Old French Concession, Yu Yuan, and Pu Dong. Each of these characteristic areas will expose you to a local flavor of Shanghai. You’ll find shopping, small galleries, great eateries, but most importantly, you’ll see Shanghai the way its residents do
