SHANGHAI CHRONICLES: 6 TOP THINGS TO SEE IN 3 DAYS

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience” Eleanor Roosevelt

Nestled along the banks of the Huangpu River, Shanghai stands as a testament to the seamless fusion of tradition and modernity. Join me as I unravel the enchanting tale of Shanghai – a city where history whispers through the streets and innovation propels it forward.

Shanghai is an alluring city of contrasts, where ancient temples stand in the shadows of gleaming skyscrapers, and where age-old traditions blend seamlessly with cutting-edge technology.

It’s a city where history whispers through the alleys, and where the future unfolds on every corner. Let Shanghai be a reminder that the past is never truly lost, but rather, it lives on in the beating heart of the present.

IS MONACO REALLY WORTH A VISIT?

“Travel makes one modest, you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” Gustave Flaubert

The enchanting Principality of Monaco overlooking the pristine blue waters of the Mediterranean is a place famed for its glamour and wealth.

Monaco is one of the wealthiest and most expensive countries in the world, soaked in the sun and expensive champagne. It’s a home to the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix, the European Poker Tour and the Monte Carlo Rally. The tiny principality is the jewel of the Mediterranean, with its grand hotels, exquisite restaurants, elegant shops, glitzy casinos and yacht-filled harbor. Its city, Monte Carlo, has long been the playground of the rich and famous.

Thanks to its mild climate with nearly 300 days of sunshine per year, most spectacular scenery, a wealth of entertainment, cultural and historical sites, Monaco is undeniably an attractive destination.
