19 days in Shanghai Itinerary

With a nickname like the "Pearl of the Orient," it's not surprising Shanghai offers some of the most rewarding attractions and activities in the Far East.

Step off the beaten path and head to Longhua Temple and Heping Fandian. Change things up with these side-trips from Shanghai: Jinghang Grand Canal Hangzhou (in Hangzhou), Suzhou (Jinji Lake, Master-of-Nets Garden, & more) and Zhouzhuang Boat (in Kunshan). And it doesn't end there: take in the pleasant sights at The Bund (Wai Tan), enjoy breathtaking views from Shanghai World Financial Center, wander the streets of Former French Concession, and appreciate the history behind Jade Buddha Temple.

In December in Shanghai, expect temperatures between 13°C during the day and 5°C at night. Cap off your sightseeing on the 2nd (Thu) early enough to travel back home.
