For some of the backdrop of the city in the Oscar-winning movie ' Her' stole our hearts, for others it was the Bond movie ' Skyfall' that spelled its charm worldwide! Situated in East China, on the estuary of Yangtze River, Shanghai first gained recognition as an influential economic and international trade center. 

Here's what makes it a tourist's delight: 

Food

A tourist destination is best known for its cityscape and best cherished for its taste! You leave the place behind, but its delicious local cuisines linger in your memories always. Plate your Shanghai seafood delicacies like cheese butter lobsters and smoked fish slices, roast ducks, soup buns, pigeon-egg dumplings, and much more. Searching for Hong Kong to Shanghai flights, already eh?

Architecture

Shanghai is about modish buildings like the 88-storey skyscraper Jin Mao Tower and 11-sphered Oriental Pearl Tower. The city is also about traditional art decor with its Longhua Temple dating back to the 10^th century and 1933 Slaughterhouse. It is simply about everything that pleases the eye and soul.

Shopping

Forget Prada and Gucci, fashion-up with cool vintage wears and designer boutiques instead. The bustling markets of Shanghai streets will spoil you with all the outlandish looks, which you have been drooling over since forever. If you can manage to get over the clothing stalls, you’ll find an amazing collection of antiques, Chinese and Tibetan jewelry, ceramics, art, etc. Flight ticket booking just takes a few clicks, ladies!

Art and Culture

Much like its architecture, the city is a heady mix of cultures too. Experience historic Chinese heritage with a peak of modern magnificence. At the heart of the city is Shanghai Grand Theatre where you can witness world’s leading orchestras, dance troupes, and theater companies. Shanghai Art Museum, Art Centre, and Shanghai International Fashion Culture Festival are other attractions that lure art enthusiasts.
