Shanghai is a culturally diverse city, and its French roots are proudly displayed in the Bund, an area located on the Huangpu River. Plan a shopping adventure or an evening stroll at the Bund, where the European-style buildings provide a picturesque, romantic backdrop. Our Shanghai luxury hotels are also conveniently located near the Jade Buddha Temple, where you can see the famous jade Buddha statues brought to China in 1882. The Shanghai Museum, arguably one of the best museums in the country, provides visitors a glimpse into China’s past. This massive museum features 11 galleries and over 120,000 artifacts.
