Shanghai, China's largest city, is located on the east coast and west of the southern tip of Japan, Shanghai is one of China's largest and busiest port, and the most important industrial and commercial center. Here let's have a glimpse of the must-sees of the city.

The Bund The Bund is an Anglo-Indian term for the embankment of a muddy waterfront. The term is apt: mud bedevils the city. Its muddy predicament aside, the Bund is symbolic. To the Europeans, it was Shanghai's Wall Street, a place of feverish trading and an unabashed playground for Western business sophisticates. It remains the city's most eloquent reminder that Shanghai is a very foreign invention.

Yuyuan Garden and The Temple of the Town Gods Laid out between 1559 and 1577, Yu Yuan Garden attracts millions of tourists both at home and abroad every year. The dragon walls, beautifully-shaped doors, bamboo groove, and winding walkways and elegant furniture are done in Southern Chinese style. Near the garden is Yu Yuan Market, once the busiest in the city. You can buy almost everything there, from delicious food, household necessities, to arts and crafts.

Jade Buddha Temple and Longhua Temple In Shanghai Art and Handicrafts Research Institute, top artisans develop new crafts. In 1882, the Jade Buddha Temple was created to house two Buddhas, one of which was carved from a single piece of white jade from Burma. Longhua Si Temple is also a noted scenic spot. It is the oldest temple in the district. There are Former Residence of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Tomb of Song Qingling, Dr. Sun's widow.

In the outskirts of the city are 48.5-meter-high Square Pagoda, Confucius Temple, a Roman Catholic cathedral, Grand View Garden, and Dingshan Lake. Shanghai's Kunqu Opera is more melodic and graceful than Beijing Opera. Its food is sweeter, lighter and prettier than other Chinese foods.
