Pick up any list, any feature, any article or any conversation on the subject of the finest, most prominent cities of the world and Shanghai will be on it. Located in China’s central coast, Shanghai is not only China’s biggest and most populous city but also a global financial hub. A mention of Shanghai conjures up images of a mesmerizing skyline and marvelous structures. Be it the magnificent architecture of buildings in the waterfront promenade of Bund or the traditional ponds and towers of the scintillating Yuyuan garden, Shanghai will stun you at every nook and corner. Structures like the Shanghai tower and Oriental Pearl tower are epitomes of human architectural brilliance. One visit to Shanghai and you will never look at any other city in the same way. Shanghai will spoil you forever. These 15 pictures of Shanghai give you a sneak peek into this historic city which has maintained its supremacy in the modern world!

That's upto where you are from. Most guys like to tour views they didn't experience in their own region. If you from Russia or north Europe, I would recommend tropical Hainan island, if from Newyork, it better to western countryside, specially our minority's villages, their interesting building and song and festivals, we also have desert and vast grassland, northeast winter games. I have no fotos, it's easy to search online, you know.

By the way, I almost forget one important recommend. China has 8 ancient capitals ( including Beijing ) during different dynasties. Every a past capital are worth a comprehensive tour.

I'll do some research. I'm just as interested in historical sites as scenic and cities. I'm from New Zealand, I did spent about 4 years working in Hong Kong and Macau, I managed to see a bit around Southern China. There is so much to take in around the entire nation, one lifetime wouldn't be enough.

Southern China has no ancient sites, where developed mainly in modern hundreds of years history.
When you are interested in historical sites / cities, you'd better go north and central China.
I help to search online the typical fotos of 8 ancient capitals.
Beijing, guess I don't need to introduce more, I omit its foto.

Nanjing

Xi'An

Kaifeng

Anyang

Zhengzhou

Hangzhou

Luoyang
