Shanghai
Step into the future
Shanghai looks like the city of the future: glittering skyscrapers, a magnetic levitating airport train, and acrobats that can do the impossible, all laid on for your amusement. It’s the sight of a true family adventure - walking along The Bund and admiring the architecture, visiting exceptional toy stores and viewing the city like the birds do, from the 88th floor of the Jin Mao Tower. There are gentle adventures to be had too, from eating hand-pulled noodles from street vendors to taking river cruises down the Huang Pu River and meeting Giant Pandas at the zoo. Hone your chopstick skills before you touch down.
