jytan says: Also known as Exhibition Hall of Shanghai Urban History and Development. Experience the ambience of Shanghai in old times in this museum. Typical scenes were built in great detail.

uhave2go says: The reasons why Shanghai is the city that most people love, are in the streets. It is not only about The Bund, the flea markets, the crowds walking all day up and down Nanjing Road or the futuristic architecture at Pudong like the Oriental Pearl or the Jim Mao Tower. There is also something about al...

row-zzzzz says: Our Shanghai tour guide asked us if we would like to experience the Maglev train, when I found out how fast it was, and I couldn't pass it up.

dan2105 says: It can be a very appealing idea, travelling with a group instead of doing it independently, especially if you're travelling alone. I chose to do so while travelling China, a country that I had been told isn't set up for Western travellers and has the added language barrier that isn't as much an issu...

#10 of 51 things to do in Shanghai
Titusss says: Shanghai and Beijing.. they are like the Milan and Rome of China (what a comparison!) cause Shanghai is the modern face, the business capital while Beijing is the governative town... China is a country rich of traditions that the young Chinese don't really care to much of, being in the middle of the...

Geofan says: I didn't take the train from Shanghai (with the exception of the Transrapid (maglev)) but I did travel from Xi'an to Beijing by train.  It's been a great experience.  First class is very, very comfortable (and cheap for us).  Those beds are pretty long, soft and warm. First...

From the tower you can see the entire Bund on the other side of the river. That was the centre of Shanghai during the western dominance (1842...

jeanliu says: The temple is very small in the downtown city. So small that the temple's front gate and that of the heavenly king hall have become one. The treasure of this temple, two jade buddhas are quite nice. I didn't expect the sitting buddha to be that big, 1.95 metre tall and 1.34 metre wide. The smaller r...

worldup says: The Bund Arguably the most famous street in Asia. Why? I don’t know. It’s a curved promenade along the river and about a mile long. There are western style buildings along the promenade that date from the 1920-30’s. These were banks, trading houses and later became consulates. A nice walk ...

Ann_Hells says: With reviews in the Lonely Planet guide that said this would leave visitors amazed and perplexed, I absolutely had to try it. I ran into it when we were trying to find the subway, it is located underground in an area full of games and people selling corn on the cob. My father and I got the two tri...
