Asia's Most Dazzling Skyline, Asia's Most Prestigious Fairways

Shanghai

City Introduction
Shanghai, China's dazzling cosmopolitan metropolis, seamlessly blends futuristic skylines with timeless elegance. As the country's economic capital, this vibrant city offers world-class golfing experiences just minutes from the Bund's colonial architecture and Pudong's soaring towers.

Why Golf Here?
Shanghai is home to more than 20 golf courses, ranging from championship layouts that have hosted international tournaments to intimate clubs steeped in tradition. The city boasts some of China's most prestigious venues, including the legendary Sheshan International—the only course in Asia where Tiger Woods competed multiple times without winning. From links-style layouts along the Yangtze River estuary to parkland courses designed by golfing greats like Jack Nicklaus, Shanghai's diverse golf scene offers challenges for every skill level.

Best Season to Visit
The optimal time for golf in Shanghai is during spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November), when temperatures are mild, humidity is low, and skies are clear. Summer (July to August) can be hot, humid, and rainy, while winter (December to February) is cold with some courses closed for maintenance.

Must-Try Food

  • Xiaolongbao (Soup Dumplings): Shanghai's most famous delicacy—steamed dumplings filled with pork and hot soup.

  • Shengjianbao: Pan-fried pork buns with crispy bottoms and juicy filling.

  • Braised Pork Belly: Rich, caramelised pork belly cooked in soy sauce.

  • Hairy Crab (in season): A seasonal delicacy from October to December prized for its roe.

Must-See Attractions

  • The Bund: Iconic waterfront promenade with colonial buildings opposite Pudong's futuristic skyline.

  • Yu Garden: Classical Chinese garden dating back over 400 years to the Ming Dynasty.

  • Shanghai Tower: China's tallest building with breathtaking panoramic views.

  • Jade Buddha Temple: Active Buddhist temple housing two exquisite jade Buddha statues.

  • Former French Concession: Tree-lined streets with elegant European architecture.
