City breaks Shanghai

It was during the boom time of the 1920s and 1930s when Shanghai really came into its own with many different nationalities staking their claim in one way or another. The French, Japanese, Italian and Germans all flocked to this area of China back then, and their influences are still present throughout the city.

Many of the art deco buildings have survived as well as leafy parks and the Shanghai Museum of Arts and Crafts built in the 1930s. While this is perfect for those on a city break Shanghai also has plenty to offer the casual visitor who comes for just a day or two.

The city activities Shanghai offers for children

If travelling with children, city activities in Shanghai are amoung the best in China, if not the best. This is because most of the paraphernalia that accompanies having children can be found and bought in this modern city.

Do not be alarmed that while on your city break in Shanghai if locals scoop up your little one for a hug. Children, especially blond, blue-eyed ones, are much admired and requests for photos will be frequent.

Some of the places to take your children on a city break in Shanghai include Changfeng Ocean World with a shark tunnel, the Jinjiang Amusement Park with roller coasters and Ferris wheel, and Dino Beach with wave pool and water slides. However, others will have the same idea for certain city activities in Shanghai as the city gets very crowded at weekends.

Another idea whilst on your city break in Shanghai is the Zoo which is a must with children so you can all go, ‘ahh’ at the cuddly giant pandas, be amazed at the height of the giraffes, and steer clear of the camels just in case they spit!
