Nanjing Road, a 5.5 km artery, is the equivalent of Times Square, due to the impressive lights of shops. Nightclubs, bars, cinemas, theatres are also very numerous.

An Enchanting Gastronomy

Use your stay in Shanghai to eat seafood, as close to the Pacific Ocean as could be possible. The natives are also fond of vegetables, bamboo shoots, soybeans, roots, scented mushrooms, etc. While you will find many restaurants, these often close at 10 pm as locals dine early. And always with chopsticks! You’ll also want to let yourself be tempted by the street food, which is delicious.

Live to the rhythm of celebrations and festivals

Whatever season you go to Shanghai, there is always a local celebration to attend, one of the best ways to immerse yourself in the city! The Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival in February, the International Literature Festival, or even the Longhua Temple Fair in the Spring, the Dragon Boat Festival in June… The year is punctuated by traditional and Western events.
