Shanghai is a fascinating mix of East and West. It has historic shikumen houses that blend the styles of Chinese houses with European design flair, and it has one of the richest collections of Art Deco buildings in the world.

There’s a very unique feel to Shanghai as there were so many concessions (designated districts) to Western powers during the turn of the 20th century.
