As the largest city in China by population, it is an international financial and transport hub. Shanghai holds a lot of attractions, and The Bund is one of the very famous. British-style buildings can still be seen on The Bund, while French-style buildings are still to be found in the former French Concession. History has shaped Shanghai a great city for traveling.
