Shanghai
Shanghai rewards travelers who split time between the Bund and Pudong skyline views and the Former French Concession’s quieter streets, parks and shikumen lanes. Metro lines make east–west hops practical; taxis and ride-hailing fill gaps when rain or heat hits. Base near Nanjing Road East or Xuhui depending on whether museum days or neighborhood pacing matter more, and book Bund hotels early around major fair weeks.
