Shanghai - one of the most modern metropolises in Asia

Shanghai is not only one of the most dynamic metropolises in Asia, but also a centre of Chinese food culture. The city combines traditional dishes from the Jiangnan region with modern, international influences. From steaming xiaolongbao in small cookshops to innovative fine dining cuisine, Shanghai offers culinary diversity at the highest level.

The city is famous for its light, slightly sweet Shanghai cuisine (Hu cuisine), which elegantly combines ingredients such as river fish, soya sauce and rice wine. Numerous markets, cookery schools and restaurants invite you to discover, taste and learn - an ideal environment for anyone who wants to broaden their culinary horizons.
