The Shanghai World Financial Centre is the second stop of the day and it will be really something special since this is one of the tallest buildings in the world. It has a mixed purpose so you will be able to see various parts of it. Still, the most impressive thing about it is the observation platform that is the tallest in the world. Yuyuan Garden is the next site to see and it is a classic Chinese garden with all of the features that can be found there. It is also near to the Yuyuan Market and that place is just perfect for shopping for souvenirs and tasting local snacks. The last attraction of the day is The Bund. This is the former centre of the city business and all of the buildings there are made in Western style so it pretty much differs from what could be expected in China. After the Shanghai started to develop swiftly, this part of the city lost its primary purpose and now it is a home for many exclusive shops.
