Why Shanghai works
Shanghai is more than a backdrop. It is one of China’s strongest gateways for international programs.
For global planners, Shanghai offers international access, business infrastructure, premium hospitality and a clear first impression of contemporary China — fast-moving, creative, layered and globally connected.
It also works beautifully as a starting point for wider China itineraries, from Jiangnan culture in Suzhou and Hangzhou to Beijing, Chengdu, Guilin, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and beyond.
