  • Minority groups

    In some of the more rural parts of the country ethnic minority groups can be found in large numbers. Many of the same tribes that are found in Laos, Cambodia and Thailand have also settled in Yunnan province and also in Guizhou and Guangxi. Many still wear there traditional dress and so a visit to these regions is often a colourful one!

Peninsula

Shanghai

The Peninsula name really speaks for itself and the Rolls Royces parked outside ensure that tradition is continued in Shanghai since Peninsula's arrival in October 2009.

Views of the Bund are unrivalled and the facilities here are the epitome of luxury, from the spas and pool to the superb restaurants. Rooms are subtly state-of-the-art and beautifully furnished.

This is about as opulent as it gets in Shanghai.
