Shanghai

China’s largest city can be oppressively hot and crowded in summer, but it's simply wonderful in late October and early November, when the weather becomes agreeably mild at the same time as the last of the crowds disappear. Nestled at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the up-and-coming port city is a hodgepodge of east and west, with an astonishing array of traditional Chinese teahouses, temples, gardens, and ancient pagodas combined with westernized country clubs, cathedrals, and distinct neighborhoods full of European architecture (where French communities once resided). Visiting fashionistas will love the trend-setting styles available in the shops along Nánjing Lù – the most popular shopping street in China. Various new theaters, cultural centers, and art museums have also sprouted up throughout the city, providing superb eye candy, while new skyscrapers, including the world’s tallest hotel, tower over the city.
