Stops
Located on People's Square, the museum is renowned for its collections of bronzes, ceramics, paintings, calligraphy and jade. The galleries are elegantly designed and the exhibits exquisite, making it a treasure house for understanding the history of Chinese art.
One of Shanghai's most popular temples, surrounded by a bustling shopping district packed with snack stalls. Tradition and modernity intertwine here: soak up the religious atmosphere, then taste authentic Shanghai flavours such as pan-fried pork buns (shengjian bao) and crab-shell pastries (xiekehuang).
The classic landmark on the banks of the Huangpu River, facing the glittering skyscrapers of Lujiazui on the opposite shore. Century-old buildings and the modern financial centre gaze at each other across the water; captivating by day or night, it is the first window onto Shanghai.
Converted from old lanes and still preserving its shikumen architecture, Tianzifang has become a gathering place for creative industries and art, with cafes, design boutiques and galleries everywhere, ideal for a leisurely stroll and photos.
