Once considered the "Paris of the East," visitors on Shanghai flights will see a city leveraging its colonial past and rocketing into the future.
Huangpu River divides Shanghai into two sections: ultra modern Pudong and Puxi, a nod to the past with its charming, 1920's Art Deco, and Neoclassical buildings. For a bit of touristy fun, take the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel between Puxi and Pudong-the lightshow and dance music are reminiscent of the time machine in Shanghai filmmaker Wong Kong-wai's 2046.
