Why The Peninsula Shanghai is so special...

City Highlights

There are two reasons why visitors to Shanghai should experience The Bund’s Tourist Tunnel: its convenience to cross from The Bund to Pudong and for its reputation as the most bizarre city attraction in Shanghai - possibly the world. Theme park-style cars will escort you from one side of the river to the other (underground), while a psychedelic light show of coloured illuminations, projected images and dreamy narration provide in-transit entertainment. A first-of-its-kind in China, western visitors are always left feeling perplexed and slightly bemused, but because there are no boats or bridges across Huangpu River, the Tourist Tunnel is pretty much unavoidable. In fact, so abstract is the experience, you’ll probably find yourself making excuses to go back for more.

Dining & Gourmet

A truly sensational and luxurious gastronomic discovery is guaranteed at The Peninsula Shanghai, the city's premier dining destination and the only hotel in Mainland China to house two Michelin-starred restaurants. Awarded a spectacular two Michelin stars in The Michelin Guide Shanghai 2017, Yi Long Court showcases a unique menu of exquisite Cantonese dishes and modern adaptations of Chinese classics. Sir Elly's Restaurant, boasting a Michelin star of its own, serves contemporary European cuisine paired with breathtaking views of the Bund and Pudong skyline.

Climate

The largest city in China, bustling Shanghai has a humid subtropical climate with four distinct seasons. Winter, from December to February, can be extremely cold with temperatures at night often dropping well below zero, though snowfall is very rare. Summer, from June to September, is characterised by wet and hot conditions, with high temperatures reaching up to 40°C and frequent heavy downpours. The best time to explore the city is in spring, between March and May, when temperatures average around 15°C, or during the autumn months of October and November, when the weather is generally sunny and drier.

Getting There

Please contact our Travel Consultants for flight details.

Yuyuan Gardens & Bazaar

A must-see in Shanghai is the picturesque Yuyuan Garden – founded by rich Ming dynasty officials - with its shaded alcoves, shimmering fish-filled pools, authentic pavilions and swaying pines. Wander down the pretty pathways as the sweet scent of blossoms - particularly the fragrant petals of the Magnolia Grandiflora, Shanghai’s flower - fill your nose. Stop for a traditional Chinese refreshment in the famous Mid-Lake Pavilion Teahouse, shaded by magnificent gingko, cherry and willow trees, or browse the bustling Bazaar for some light-hearted souvenirs of your Shanghai adventure.

Yuyuan Gardens & Bazaar
Oriental Pearl

One of the most iconic city towers in the world - standing at 1536 feet - Shanghai’s futuristic Oriental Pearl is an absolute must-visit. Make your way up the striking Shanghai World Financial Centre, the twisting skyscraper which resembles an enormous bottle opener and venue for the world’s highest observation deck on its 100th floor. It may no longer be the world’s tallest building, but at 1,555 feet, the triple-tiered deck still stands twenty-two metres higher than that of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. Complete your visit by descending to the lobby museum which details the fascinating history and rapid development of Shanghai.

The Bund's Tourist Tunnel

For a truly unique experience, seek out the marvellous Bund’s Tourist Tunnel. This convenient, yet wholly bizarre, method of crossing from The Bund to Pudong invites you to board an underground cart which travels from one side of the river to the other. In-transit entertainment includes a psychedelic light show, coloured illuminations and dreamy lights projected across the tunnel’s inner walls. The first (and only) of its kind in China, western visitors are left feeling utterly perplexed. Abstract? Yes. Totally compelling? Of course!

Dining & Gourmet

In keeping with China’s love-affair with food, Shanghai boasts an eclectic and unique dining scene, ranging from authentic street food to Michelin star fine-dining. Wander down the narrow lanes of Fangbang Xi Lu food market – or one of the many others in the city – taking in the various smells as you decide which traditional Chinese dish – from steaming wontons to classic noodles – you want to sample. Alternatively, indulge in an exquisite dining experience at one of Shanghai’s finest eateries; The Peninsula Shanghai is the only hotel in mainland China to house two Michelin-starred restaurants, serving gourmet Cantonese and European cuisine.

Dining & Gourmet
Temples

Long before the building of Shanghai’s audacious skyscrapers and glitzy shopping malls, a number of intricately-designed Buddhist temples dominated the city – many of which can still be visited today. Jing’an Temple, dating back to 1216AD, is a sacred portal to the Buddhist world that underpins modern Shanghai; its striking statues, tinkling wind chimes and aromatic incense offer a tranquil haven among the bustling city. Meanwhile, Jade Buddha Temple - one of Shanghai’s few active Buddhist monasteries - houses a Buddha effigy made from pure jade.
