Shanghai - city guide

| 15 Comments | No TrackBacks

One of the world's most exciting cities, Shanghai presents a potent mix of old and new and an undiminished sense of adventure. The colonial 1930s architecture of the Bund is reminiscent of Liverpool, but the surrounding buildings are in contrast - on one side, ancient Chinese temples, and on the other the illuminated 468-metre-high Oriental Pearl Tower and other modern wonders. Shanghai's Pudong district is as dynamic as cityscapes get, with more than a hint of Blade Runner.

 

With 20 million inhabitants, Shanghai is the largest city in China, located on the central eastern coast at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

 

If it's the heat that makes people want to drink in Malaysia, it's the lack of road awareness in China that will drive you to the bottle. Fortunately, there's no shortage of epic bars in Shanghai.

 

If it's the view you're after, then you can't beat Bar Rouge, which offers striking views of the Oriental Pearl TV tower and is packed with F1 personnel. Sharing the view is M On The Bund, Jenson Button's favourite restaurant. My personal recommendation is TMSK in Xintiandi, with its fusion food and lacquered surroundings.

For civilized drinks, try the members-only Kee Club, if you have a paddock pass. And just down the road is the Pudi Boutique Hotel Fuxing Park, where a standard room includes a full-size bar, jacuzzi and fish tank. That's where I stayed last year, though because the traffic makes me a bag of nerves, I have elected to spend the next few nights at a hotel close to the track called the Blue Palace. Sounds like a knocking shop.
