We are thrilled to invite you to the WEPACK Exhibition, a premier event showcasing innovation and collaboration in packaging and sustainability.

Here are the top scenic spots in Shanghai:
The Bund, situated along the Huangpu River, stands as one of Shanghai’s most iconic landmarks. In the mid-19th century, after Shanghai was established as a treaty port, the Bund evolved into a hub for foreign concessions. Numerous buildings of diverse architectural styles—Gothic, Baroque, Neoclassical, and more—were constructed here, collectively earning the title of A World Architectural Exhibition. These structures exemplify Shanghai’s unique blend of Eastern and Western influences. Strolling along the Bund, visitors can immerse themselves in the city’s rich historical tapestry while witnessing the vibrant energy of its modern metropolis.
2. Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street — A Bustling Urban Shopping Paradise
Nanjing East Road, hailed as China’s Premier Commercial Street, is a cornerstone of Shanghai’s prosperity. Since the city’s opening as a port, it has attracted iconic department stores, time-honored shops, and entertainment venues, including the No. 1 Department Store and New World City. At night, the street dazzles with neon lights, embodying Shanghai’s dynamic urban spirit. Whether shopping, savoring local delicacies, or soaking in the city’s atmosphere, this destination is a must-visit.
Soaring 468 meters, the Oriental Pearl Tower (built in 1994) is a defining symbol of Shanghai. Its design features 11 interconnected spheres, evoking the poetic imagery of “large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate”(a reference to classical Chinese literature). The tower’s highlight is its transparent 259-meter-high skywalk, offering breathtaking views of the city. Additional attractions include revolving restaurants and the Shanghai Urban History Exhibition Hall, blending sightseeing, dining, and cultural immersion.
Wukang Road, a 1.17-kilometer stretch often called the Most Beautiful Street in Shanghai, boasts 37 historical buildings showcasing Spanish, French, and British architectural styles. Former residents include luminaries like writer Ba Jin and social activist Soong Ching-ling. Strolling beneath its plane trees, visitors traverse a living corridor of Shanghai’s storied past.
Built in 1559 during the Ming Dynasty by official Pan Yunduan as a tribute to his parents, Yu Garden epitomizes Jiangnan-style classical gardens. Its intricate layout features landmarks like the Nine-Turn Bridge and Exquisite Jade Rock (Yulinglong), where pavilions, rockeries, and ponds harmonize. Each element reflects profound cultural symbolism, making it an ideal spot to explore traditional Chinese garden artistry.

Dating back to 247 CE, Jing’an Temple is one of Shanghai’s oldest Buddhist sites. Though rebuilt multiple times, its current Song Dynasty-inspired architecture houses revered jade and bronze Buddha statues. Nestled within the upscale Jing’an District, the temple embodies a seamless fusion of spiritual heritage and modern urbanity.
