Discover an alternative side to Shanghai: Visit the Shanghai French Concession
Built in the mid 1800's during the height of French occupation in Shanghai, it was the machinations of one Charles de Montigny, an official consul who gained treaty from China to claim parts of the mainland for a French settlement. It not only symbolised the colonist's presence in the country, but over the years,was also used as a bargaining chip to gain more and more lands for the French. Although officially abolished in 1914, the landmark is a reminder of the rich history China preserves and the quiet reign of the French for over 60 years. Check into the Grand Millennium Shanghai HongQiao on your next visit to Shanghai to take in the best of the city.
