Shanghai
Shanghai is a wonderful assault on your senses. Whether you’re wandering traditional laneways or gazing at the futuristic skyline, contrasts coexist magnificently and the city preserves an elegant complexity that is almost bewitching. There’s much more to Shanghai than what meets the eye. Prepare to be enchanted.

What to Do
Heritage by Madison
Chef Austin Hu is a local celebrity within the F&B scene in Shanghai. Heritage by Madison is his newest project honoring his roots in China and time spent in Taiwan, Paris, Japan, and New York. I had the best octopus of my life here and if you’ve never had a Banana Old Fashioned, you’re in for a treat!
SHAKE
Shanghai’s house of funk and soul, SHAKE is an intimate supper club and nightspot with live music six nights a week, soulful fusion by award-winning chef Danyi Gao, and bold cocktails by veteran bar manager Colin Tait. Here you’ll find inventive cuisine, nostalgic design, warm acoustics, and friendly regulars.
Funkadeli
I’m sure you’ve had an Aperol Spritz, but have you ever had a Funkaspritz? It’s a spritz (Aperol or Campari) with a shot of vodka and gin for a guaranteed marvelous time. Insider tested, guest approved.
