Once known as "The Paris of the East", Shanghai exuded an intoxicating allure, brimming with sophisticated glamour, risqué undertones and the enchanting sounds of old-world melodies. This vibrant tapestry of cabarets, dance halls, exclusive ballrooms and ritzy restaurants is reflected in Shanghai Noir's enchanting ambiance.
