Shanghai, however you want it.

Shanghai - The Hip and Traditional Gem of China! Welcome to Shanghai, the shiniest gem in modern China's jewel box! This city is a perfect blend of modernity and tradition, and it's charging into the future with all the energy of its famous Maglev train. If you're looking for a hip, contemporary city that still retains its character and flavor, then Shanghai is the place for you! As you wander through the tiny back streets, you'll find wet-market vendors peddling their wares - buckets of bright green vegetables, fish flapping in shallow plastic bowls, and heaps of crayfish crawling over each other. It's a feast for the senses, and you won't find anything like it anywhere else in the world. Shanghai's most famous attraction is the Bund, where the colonial merchants of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries built the headquarters for their trading firms and banks. Today, these vast, august edifices boom of power, but now the roofs are topped with the red and yellow flags of the People's Republic, and the buildings below house designer clothing shops as well as banking headquarters.
