China’s first city has a swagger that’s all its own. Muscling its way into the top metros of the world, Shanghai’s drive & appetite for the good life, is exemplified in its gleaming skyline, its purposeful citizenry and abundance of luxury leisure options. (It’s called the 'Paris of Asia'). And just when you think you’ve got it pegged, it shows you glimpses of the graceful old city, where life was slower but infinitely sweeter.
