The New Shanghai

The Shanghai Maglev Train is an attraction. It is the world’s fastest commercial train, and we suggest you should try it. American Airlines Flights land at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport and from there you travel to the Long yang Road Metro Station, all it takes is seven minutes to cover the 19 miles stretch. 

When in Shanghai, explore the areas in and around the Nanjing Road. It is one of the busiest shopping streets of the world. You will also find many international travelers here have set up their shops.

The Shanghai Disney Resort, the waterfront of the city called the Bund, the Oriental Pearl Tower, and the Shanghai Tower are a few prominent places you must visit.

The Jade Buddha Temple has a giant Buddha statue, and here you also have the Grand Hall and the Chamber of Four Heavenly Kings that you must visit.

Your visit remains incomplete without visiting the Shanghai Museum that has a vast collection of Chinese art and bronze artifacts.
