Shanghai is a great destination for shoppers, and the best-known shopping street in China - Nanjing Road - is located next to the hotel. This exciting avenue is lined with well-known shops and department stores selling clothing, food and specialty goods.

The city is a tourist destination renowned for its historical landmarks such as the Bund and City God Temple, its modern and ever-expanding Pudong skyline including the Oriental Pearl Tower, and its new reputation as a cosmopolitan center of culture and design. Today, Shanghai is the largest center of commerce and finance in mainland China, and has been described as the "showpiece" of the world`s fastest-growing major economy.

Originally a fishing and textiles town, Shanghai grew to importance in the 19th century due to its favorable port location. The city flourished as a center of commerce between east and west, and became a multinational hub of finance and business by the 1930s. After 1990, the economic reforms resulted in intense re-development and financing in Shanghai, and in 2005 Shanghai became the world`s largest cargo port
