Why Shanghai Is a Top Travel Destination This Year

Shanghai is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after destinations for the upcoming year—and it’s not hard to see why. With China reopening its doors to international travelers and simplifying visa access for Americans, exploring this incredible country has never been easier. Travel is surging, and Shanghai is at the top of the list for sophisticated travelers who crave modern luxury, rich culture, and unforgettable experiences.

What makes Shanghai stand out? The luxury here is next level. Imagine waking up in one of the world’s most glamorous hotels overlooking the glittering skyline, enjoying private river cruises on the Huangpu, and indulging in Michelin-star dining night after night. The city offers iconic design, futuristic architecture, and high-end fashion districts that rival Dubai and Paris—yet it still feels deeply authentic and uniquely Chinese.

Beyond the glamor, Shanghai is the ideal gateway into China’s ancient history. From peaceful temples and centuries-old tea traditions to the legendary Yu Garden, this is a place where old-world beauty lives alongside cutting-edge innovation. And no journey to China is complete without witnessing one of the most famous wonders of the world—the Great Wall of China. Our journey takes you there in style, with private guided access and breathtaking views that go far beyond tourist crowds. Beijing is an exciting trip via high speed bullet train.
