This week, we invite you to immerse yourself in Shanghai’s dynamic contrasts—from historic landmarks to contemporary indulgence, from moments of quiet reflection to vibrant city life. Here’s what awaits you.
For our Australian and New Zealand delegates, ANZAC Day (25 April) holds deep significance, commemorating the courage and camaraderie of those who served. This year, attendees can join the ANZAC Day Dawn Service at the Australian Consulate compound in Shanghai – a moment of solemn reflection and international unity.
Standing together as the sun rises over the city, guests will honour a tradition that transcends borders, reinforcing the global connections that define Auto Shanghai.
History and modernity converge in Xintiandi, one of Shanghai’s most famous cultural and lifestyle districts. In collaboration with CADA (Canadian Automobile Dealers Association), delegates can take part in an exclusive guided walking tour through this historic quarter.
Once a Shikumen-style residential area, Xintiandi has transformed into a vibrant hub of heritage architecture, fine dining, and boutique shopping. This curated experience offers a deeper understanding of Shanghai’s evolution, highlighting its role as a global meeting point for tradition and innovation.
For those seeking refinement, Shanghai’s luxury scene is second to none. Unwind at The St. Regis on the Bund, Shanghai, where opulence meets world-class hospitality, or sip handcrafted cocktails with panoramic views at a rooftop bar overlooking the Bund. From Michelin-starred dining to exclusive fashion houses, Shanghai is a playground for those with a taste for the finer things in life.
As the sun sets, the city transforms into a dazzling spectacle of lights, energy, and entertainment. Whether it’s a private cruise along the Huangpu River, a stroll through the neon-lit streets of The Bund, or an intimate evening at a jazz lounge in the French Concession, Shanghai’s nightlife offers something for every traveller.
Auto Shanghai 2025 is more than just an automotive showcase – it’s a gateway to a city where history and modernity thrive side by side. From the solemnity of ANZAC Day to the charm of Xintiandi, from luxury indulgences to cultural discoveries, this is your chance to experience Shanghai in a way few ever do.
