December 10, 2018 Shanghai

It’s that wonderful time of year, once again! Yup, that rainy December afternoon when you’re desperately dashing around town trying to find something for the folks back home. Well, the good news is that there’s plenty of creativity in Shanghai these days and loads of good stuff if you know where to look.

So, in the spirit of seasonal goodwill we thought we’d share a few of the items that we’ll be putting under the Bespoke Christmas tree this year. We also have a fabulous cushion cover from Beijing Postcards to give away to a lucky winner – scroll to the bottom of the post to find out how to win.

11 Shanghai Hidden Gems We Bet You’ve Never Been To But Should

September 27, 2018 Shanghai

1. The Great (Free) Glass Elevator Ride

Glass Elevator Shangahi

The glorious old heritage wing of the Okura Garden Hotel – formerly the ‘Cercle Sportif Francais’ – is well worth exploring however, many ignore the modern tower block stuck on the back. It does offer one wonderful gift: a glass elevator on the outside of the building that whizzes from the lobby to the 33rd floor, giving those inside wonderful views right across the rooftops of the former French Concession and across to the skyscrapers of Pudong. Even better, the staff doesn’t seem to mind outside guests bumbling about, as long as you keep it low key. The Okura Garden Hotel is at 58 Maoming Road. The elevator is open from 11 am.
