From Shanghai father arrives at Israeli city (5)
I believe the answer is:
haifa
'israeli city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'from shanghai father arrives' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'HAIFA' is hidden in the letters of 'shanghai father arrives'.
'at' is the link.
(Other definitions for haifa that I've seen before include "Mediterranean port" , "Middle East city" , "Chief port of Israel" , "Israel's main port" , "Seaport in Israel" .)
