When you travel to Shanghai, China, to attend CHEST World Congress 2016, you won’t want to miss a minute of the cutting-edge education sessions and simulation training. Yet, you can’t send a postcard home if you haven’t witnessed first-hand the beauty, culture, and uniqueness of the city’s sites featured on your postcard. We’ve got you covered. If you want to see the famous, “must see” sites of Shanghai, follow our list below, and you will not be disappointed.
The most famous and iconic location in Shanghai is a street called The Bund. The street is located just west of the Huangpu River, and it features international architecture with building styles from art deco and gothic to late renaissance and classic European. You can also find ritzy shopping and high-end restaurants and bars at this swanky attraction.
If you are interested in history, you’ll want to visit the Shanghai Museum and the Old Town neighborhood. The Shanghai Museum has a large collection of historical artifacts, and you can rent an audio phone with narratives of the major exhibits. Old Town is the center of the old Chinese city and the first part of Shanghai to be settled. Today, you’ll find souvenirs and antiques, a Daoist Temple, and Huxinting Teahouse in this neighborhood.
As for entertainment, Shanghai offers several compelling options. Take in the bustling city and the local architecture from an enjoyable vantage point - the Huangpu River. There are boat tours available ranging from a quick ferry ride to 3-hour cruises. Or, you can sit back and be entertained by the world famous Shanghai Acrobatic Troupe. Performances are available at the Shanghai Center Theatre.
Here are some other interesting tourist destinations:
• Nanjing Road – A shopper’s paradise, this road is walkable in 20 to 30 minutes (if you don’t stop to shop!)
• French Concession Area – This neighborhood is full of mansions and beautiful parks. Take a walk and enjoy the area on foot!
