Shanghai is the biggest city and most important port in China. A magical place where tradition and modernity intermingle in a way that you do not see anywhere else, Shanghai has an almost mythical quality.

A financial centre during the 19th and 20th centuries fell dormant for decades until 1992 when Deng Xiaoping started to promote the growth of the city. Now Shanghai has recovered its place in Asia’s financial market and is rapidly being established as the main financial centre in Asia so if you are in business or just looking for a different type of holiday, Shanghai is a place worth visiting.
