A Walking Tour Shanghai. Sketches of the city’s architectural treasures

Shanghai is China’s most cosmopolitan city and it is a fascinating blend of old and new. Visitors can find everything from charming art deco style buildings and traditional Chinese architecture to some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers. Once called the “Paris of the East”, Shanghai is once again bustling with new developments up along the Bund and in the Pudong area. The walks featured in this handy volume will enable readers to appreciate Shanghai’s heritage and have a better understanding of its built environment.
