Paris of the Orient: that's what they called Shanghai in the past, when it
was still the leading power in trade and opium. Enter the communist revolution,
which swept Shanghai into anonymity. Nonetheless, some traces of old can be
found in present Shanghai. Today, Shanghai is the commercial center of China and
has one of the most dynamic skylines in the world. The 17-million-citizen-strong
city shows her dualistic face in every corner of the city.

Shanghai Bars & Cocktail Lounges
Pearl of the Orient and Whore of the East, Shanghai has been dragged
through an incredibly chequered past of invasions and occupations. This
created a wild city of opium dens, underground gambling joints, brothels,
gangsters and decadence, all brought to an abrupt end by the suffocating
grip of Communist rule in the late 1940s. But, Shanghai is staggering from
the shadows once more. The honorary capital of China has that old glint in
her eye again. To get a flavor of the city take a Huangpu river trip for
great views of the Bund, which was Shanghai's thriving Wall Street in the
30's, or visit the lively Frenchtown area for great food, shopping and
nightlife. The stunning Shanghai Museum and incredible, gravity-defying
Huzhou Pagoda, which beats the tower of Pisa in the leaning stakes, are also
well worth a visit.
