Synopsis

With skyscrapers, trendy bars and new hotels sprouting up quicker than you can say 'the new superpower', Shanghai is every inch the city of the moment. Written by local experts, "Time Out Shanghai" is the only companion you'll need when getting to grips with 21st-century China's economic powerhouse. It takes you to shiny malls and cut-price markets, hip restaurants and dumplings joints, luxe spas and no-frills massage parlours - and everything in between. It also covers don't-miss side trips, among them canal towns, gardens and islands. This second edition includes a new chapter tracking the super-quick and -slick urban development of Shanghai, one of the world's fastest-growing cities. Its transformation into China's economic showcase has furnished it with sparkling malls and mind-boggling skyscrapers (the 492-metre-high Shanghai World Financial Centre, due to open in 2007, will be the world's tallest building). "Time Out" provides more useful information than other guidebooks: addresses, phone numbers, opening times, admission prices and transport details are given for every venue listed. In addition, our full-colour street maps pinpoint places of interest, restaurants, cafes, pubs, bars and hotels within the city.

Biographie de l'auteur

Founded in 1968, Time Out has grown from humble beginnings into the leading resource for anyone wanting to know what’s happening in the world’s greatest cities. Alongside our influential weeklies in London, New York, Chicago and Dubai, we publish more than 20 magazines in cities as varied as Beijing and Beirut; a range of travel books, with City Guides now joined by pocket-sized Shortlist series; and an information-packed website. The company remains proudly independent, still owned by Tony Elliott four decades after he launched Time Out London. Written by local experts, and illustrated with original photography, our books also retain their independence. No business has been featured because it has advertised, and all restaurants and bars are visited and reviewed anonymously.
