Shanghai holidays

Now the largest city in the world and home to over 24 million people, a holiday in Shanghai offers a futuristic wonderland that boasts one of the most impressive skylines of any city on earth. An economic powerhouse that’s become one of the most forward-looking cities in China, visitors will be amazed at Shanghai’s incredible size and the vast amount of life teeming through its streets.

With world-renowned restaurants, a growing rooftop entertainment venue scene (where the view is just as important as the décor) and a reputation for being one of the country’s trendiest cities, there’s so much to see and do here, you’ll probably need at least two visits to take it all in. With a Shanghai holiday package from Qatar Holidays Airways, you can get to know this fascinating metropolis.

  • Stroll along the Bund (Wai Tan), a picturesque promenade that runs along the Huang Pu River and is home to rows of stunning new buildings, plenty of street stalls, and locals out for an evening walk.
  • Climb the Shanghai Tower – which boasts the highest observation deck in the world – for incredible views of the dramatic Shanghai skyline.
  • Get a feel for the unique local culture by taking a walk through Fuxing Park, where you’ll encounter the locals taking part in open-air dance classes, selling wares, exercising, and playing games in lush, natural surroundings.
  • Explore the boutiques on Dongtai Road, home to an array of antique, art, book and memorabilia stores. The variety of goods on sale is astounding, and there’s plenty of pieces that you’ll find nowhere else on earth.
