As China's biggest city and one of its main cultural and financial hubs, Shanghai is unlike any other mega metropolis. You'll find a lot of everything here, from ancient temples and classic villages to countless brand-new skyscrapers with futuristic architecture and technology. Especially at night from the Yangtze River, it's quite a sight.

You name it; it's probably here in Shanghai, and in abundance. Countless restaurants, nightlife venues, shops, and museums, plus tons of live entertainment including several professional sports teams, ensure the fun never stops. Key attractions include the Bund, Yuyuan Garden, Nanjing Road, Shanghai Museum, and Jade Buddha Temple, just to name a few. Be sure to get a hotel for at least one night before and after your cruise for a better taste of all the Shanghai has to offer.
