Is a holiday rental in Shanghai worth it?

Shanghai is China's most dazzling metropolis and a breathtaking showcase of modernity: The futuristic skyline of Pudong with the 632-meter-high Shanghai Tower, the bottle opener-shaped World Financial Center, and the Oriental Pearl Tower creates one of the most impressive city views in the world — especially at night, when millions of lights transform the Huangpu River into a sea of lights.
On the opposite bank stretches the Bund, a promenade lined with 52 magnificent colonial buildings in Art Deco and Neoclassical styles, reminiscent of Shanghai's golden era as the Paris of the East. The French Concession, with its plane tree-lined avenues, boutique cafes, and restored Shikumen houses, offers a pleasant contrast to the sea of skyscrapers. The Yu Garden, dating back to the 16th century, is an oasis of tranquility with classical pavilions, ponds, and zigzag bridges.
Culinary delights in Shanghai include the famous Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), best enjoyed at Din Tai Fung or in local street food stalls. Nanjing Road is one of the longest shopping streets in the world, and the M50 cultural district hosts Shanghai's vibrant contemporary art scene. The Maglev train connects the airport to the city in just eight minutes. Spring and autumn offer the most pleasant temperatures.

At 632 m, the tallest building in China and the second tallest in the world – the observation deck on the 118th floor offers a surreal view in clear weather.
