Shanghai - Kota Terbesar China

As my previous entry, sekarang ni ada promotion FREE trip ke Shanghai. So saya start la google apa yang best kat Shanghai ni. Nak pegi holiday mesti la nak tau tempat apa yang cantik & menarik kat sana, sikit sebanyak sejarah pasal tempat tersebut, yang paling penting tourist attraction & tempt SHOPPING !!

BACKGROUND

Shanghai adalah kota terbesar Republic China dan terletak di tepi delta Chianjiang. Perkembangan pesat kota ni dalam beberapa dekad akhir2 ni menjadikan Shanghai sebagai pusat perdagangan, ekonomi & comunication terpenting di China.

Rupanya Shanghai merupakan antara perlabuhan tersibuk di dunia seperti Singapura & Rotterdam. Wahh.. tak sangka ya?

Nama Shanghai terbit dari 2 karakter tionghua yang bermaksud "Atas" & Laut", sesuai dengan penemuaan pertama sungai & sebuah kota kecil pada zaman Dinasti Song (960-1279).

Ok cukup tentang sejarah...nanti jadi macam buku teks sejarah PMR pulak. Nak tahu lebih banyak tentang sejarah Shangai boleh click di sini wikipedia.

Next, jom kita tengok tempat-tempat yang sangat best di Shanghai

The Huangpu River - The mother of Shanghai River

The Huangpu River is the mother river of Shanghai. This renowned waterfront district is the city's most famous landmark. Local people honor the Huangpu River as Mother River, and as you view the lights and spectacle from the deck of your evening cruise, you will understand why.

Besides offering a privileged view of the bridges that span the Huangpu, the cruise boats also offer an excellent view of the famous colonial-era buildings that make up the Bund, buildings such as the Peace Hotel with its unique pyramid roof in blazing green and the Customs House with its large clock tower.

Huangpu River Cruise is opened daily, full morning cruise (from 9am to 12:30pm), full afternoon cruise (from 2 to 5:30pm) & night cruise from 7 to 9pm. These full cruises make a complete circuit of the Huangpu to its mouth and night  offer splendid experiences when the lights are on the Bund and Pudong.

NOTE: Cantik sangat kan? Mesti nak naik cruise ni time malam. Hopefully dapat la..sponsored lagi. Berangan la buat romantik scene dengan hubby nanti. Oppss..

Xintiandi - Romantic shopping setting

 Xintiandi is a car-free shopping, eating and entertainment area of Shanghai. It is composed of an area of restored traditional shikumen ("stone gate") houses on narrow alleys, a modern shopping mall with a cinema complex, and some adjoining houses which now serve as book stores, cafes and restaurants. Most of the cafes and restaurants feature both indoor and outdoor seatings.

Xintiandi has an active nightlife on weekdays as well as weekends, though romantic settings are more common than loud music and dance places. Xintiandi means "New Heaven and Earth", and is considered one of the first lifestyle centers in China.The marketing of xintiandi is mainly targeted towards overseas visitors, who seek to experience the romanticised atmosphere of old Shanghai. As a result, prices in this area are high, even by international standards. Eating or shopping in this area is seen as a status symbol by affluent local residents. Many tour groups visit Xintiandi as one of the main attractions in Shanghai.

Note: This is awesome! Tengok la architectural of the building, cantik. Macam English style. Cuba bayangkan lepak minum2 kat one of the cafe kat sini dengan hubby selepas penat shopping. Sooo sweet & romantic. =)
