Thursday

Guia de Shanghai Launch @ Instituto Cervantes


The fastest train, the busiest port, the tallest skyscrapers in the world. It's hard to exaggerate when talking about Shanghai because everything here is designed to break records.

The iconic skyline of glass towers and futuristic peaks comes with an extra detail—the speed at which they were built. If there's one thing that defines Shanghai, it's its constant transformation.

Yet, amid the spotless metro stations, you'll still find clothes drying in the sun, and people dancing in the squares.

That's why, because Shanghai keeps changing without losing itself and never ceases to amaze both visitors and locals, the Instituto Cervantes presents a new edition of the Shanghai Guide—a free cultural and practical resource, available in Spanish. 

Thu Mar 20, 7pm; Free
