# The Bund 

“Deriving its name from Hindi (bet you didn't know that, did you?), the Bund is Shanghai's most famous attraction.We could go on about the history and how, even today, the city's most respected businesses, loved restaurants and infamous clubs all call the Bund home, but we don't need to. It's The Bund. Enough said.”

This gluttonous affair offers a two-floor culinary experience with live music and almost any dish imaginable from foie gras to fresh seafood, soup, teppanyaki and traditional Chinese delicacies – all accompanied by Champagne, shots of iced vodka and free-flowing wine. Go ahead and overfill your plate, then go back for more – at this brunch, that's the point.”

# Bund Tourist tunnel 

“The hypnotic Bund Sightseeing Tunnel. While many of Shanghai's tourist attractions have gained fame worldwide either for their architectural feats or historic value, few have achieved the infamy of the 647-meter Bund Sightseeing Tunnel. Simply put, the tunnel is (in)famous for leaving riders asking 'Huh?' There are few people who have travelled the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel more than once, but it's also rare to find someone who regrets the trip.”

# Jiaozi in all forms: steamed 

“You've got to try xiaolongbao in Shanghai. Yang's might have cornered the market on shenjianbao, but Fu Chun reigns supreme when it comes to xiaolongbao (RMB 4 for six dumplings). Somewhere between a restaurant and a hole-in-the-wall, this local staple offers some of the best xialongbao (pork or pork-and-shrimp varieties) in town. Order downstairs for a quick bite or savor them in the upstairs restaurant.”

(Tips: You can also enjoy Xiaolongbao with traditional Shanghai flavor at The Crystal Garden Chinese restaurant at The Westin Bund Center Shanghai)
