Beyond the Bund there are plenty of historic districts, modern enclaves and ample shopping opportunities to explore.
China’s most famous shopping street is a five kilometre stretch of retail wonder with hundreds of outlets to peruse. Start near the iconic Fairmont Peace Hotel that sits on the Bund (Ok, we said “beyond the Bund”, but really it would be madness to visit Shanghai without drinking in the sights at least once!), and from there work your way west. You’ll find fashionable local boutiques, high-end brands from Tiffany to Mont Blanc, as well as plenty of cafés, restaurants and bars. The section from the Bund to People’s Park can get extremely crowded – sometimes it feels like the whole city is on one street.
