DAY 1
The Bund
The Bund is a destination in itself, worth a full day.
Check into the Fairmont Peace Hotel, a historical property that dates to before World War II. It features brilliant art deco-inspired interiors that pay homage to this style of visual arts, which came into prominence in the 1930s.
Then, take a stroll along Shanghai's most famous tourist stretch.
This waterfront area overlooks the Huangpu River and the Lujiazui skyline, which is anchored by the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower and the 632-meter-high Shanghai Tower.
There's no shortage of excellent dining options around the Bund.
Three on the Bund is home to a number of acclaimed Western eateries, including three restaurants by culinary maestro Jean-Georges Vongerichten－Jean-Georges, Mercato and Chi Q.
Relax at the Fairmont Peace Hotel's jazz bar on the ground level where the city's most-renowned and oldest jazz musicians－they average about 80 years old－demonstrate age is just a number.
A short walk from the hotel, The Nest offers a variety of nightcap options and an impressive selection of sophisticated bar bites.
