    BEIJING, Nov. 23 -- Paris Hilton, the millionaire heiress to the Hilton hotel chain is in Shanghai for the first time to attend Friday's 2007 MTV Awards and Style Gala at the Shanghai Grand Stage.

    The American socialite checked out Shanghai fashions, cuddled stuffed pandas and sauntered along the famous Bund waterfront while visiting China's most style-conscious city for the MTV Style awards.

    "Shanghai looks like the future!" Hilton said in a news conference at the Hyatt on the waterfront, one of the newest landmarks in a city teeming with new skyscrapers.

    A visit to the city's jam-packed Yu Yuan Garden gave her an authentic taste of Shanghai's juicy steam buns and flower tea and the crowding common in the city of more than 20 million.

    But Hilton, unfazed by the throngs of onlookers, carried on with her shopping, pausing to hug an elderly lady and to pose in several dresses by Chinese designer Lu Kun, one of the city's hottest new fashion stars.
