Shanghai Wild Animal Park is a vast 378-acre park featuring over 200 animals, bus tours, animal shows, and outdoor habitats. Families can enjoy a special bus tour to see elephants, pandas, tigers, bears, lions, monkeys, giraffes and more. For those interested in insects, the nearby Shanghai Natural Wild-insect Kingdom offers a fascinating collection of living insects from Southeast Asian countries and reptiles from South American countries.
I don’t have words to describe this experience! Absolutely fabulous place. I came here for red pandas. Just read some reviews that you can feed them. Also it was mentioned that this is the best park in shanghai. It is definitely one of the best parks I ever saw. If you are coming with kids you need the whole day. There so many attractions for the little ones. We already ride and washed elephants in other countries so we didn’t spend much time there. Although if you didn’t it is the best place to do. I was really excited that we could pet and feed capybara. One nice point was feeding the bears. They were asking for the food and it was so funny. Each attraction with animals is 30 yuan. The general admission is 160. If you have time visit the circus inside the park.

This visit was definitely worth it. The zoo is beautiful, and you can easily spend 5-6 hours there, as time flies by. Be aware that some activities, such as feeding the animals, cost extra. However, these unique experiences are a great addition.
Zuzana I — Google review
Probably the best animal park I’ve ever been too. The area is huge and all the animals have enough space and treated well. I like that there’s specific time when you can feed the animals like flamingos or giraffes. And, they can rest from people in between. Not recommended in August, as it’s really hot, like really really hahaha There’s also a food court.
Ksana — Google review
Quite a nice zoo/safari. Lots of animals to see and feed. Go for the Bus n Boat ride and save on the walking. Food was surprisedly good at the Tiger restaurant. Eating beside Tigers and watching them was a nice experience. Overall this is indeed 1 of the better zoo I been to. 🚨 had Questions on luggage storage previously so here's my review - Plenty of storage spaces outside BUT main issue is 1 WeChat Account = 1 Storage. That's kinda weird as I had 3 luggages as with family. Had to use another 2 WeChat accounts to open. Costs 10-20-40 rmb for whole day.

The park has so many wild animals with lots of interactive stuff to do at a small add-on cost. I went to Guangzhou Chimelong Safari park and was truly amazed. Never thought that Shanghai Wild Animal Park would be even better!
William C — Google review
Paid for 2 adults + 2 kids on klook at sgd90 for park entry. VIP feeding bus is rmb 100/pax. Feeding tigers and capybara were rmb30/pax. Due to its far out location, didi ride is abt sg30 per way. So overall, park experience is good but the expenses are super high.
Lolli G — Google review
I left Shanghai Wild AnimalZoo in deep sorrow & anger after witnessing something truly heartbreaking — an elephant who has been mercilessly bullied by other elephants for years, while the zoo has turned a blind eye to his suffering. This poor elephant has no way to escape. Enclosed by concrete walls and metal gates, he has been trapped in misery, constantly harassed, chased, and attacked. The abuse has lasted for years, as many caring visitors (myself included) have repeatedly reported the situation to zoo staff and management. But nothing has been done. Not a separation. Not an intervention. Not a care. His condition now shows clear signs of physical damage and emotional trauma. He limps. He cowers. His body carries visible wounds — all evidence of long-term mistreatment. This is not an accident. This is a consequence of deliberate inaction. Wildlife captivity demands responsibility. This zoo has failed in its most basic duty: to provide safety and dignity for the animals it profits from. Instead of protecting this elephant, they have let him suffer behind closed walls where his pain remains mostly unseen — until now. I am sharing photos with this review so others can see what the zoo refuses to acknowledge. If you care about animal welfare, please reconsider your visit. Better yet, speak out. This elephant deserves more than to live in fear for the rest of his life. And the Shanghai Wild Animal Zoo must be held accountable — by the public, by authorities, and by everyone who believes animals are not entertainment, but living beings deserving care and protection.

Shanghai Disneyland Park

Mentioned on

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Shanghai Disneyland Park is the newest Disney park and a top attraction in China. It features familiar areas like Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, as well as unique attractions such as Gardens of Imagination leading to the Enchanted Storybook Castle. Adventureland includes Treasure Cove and Adventure Isle with its own version of Soarin'. The park combines Disney magic with Chinese elements, offering a one-of-a-kind experience.
Despite it being blazing hot and disgusting Shanghai Disneyland met this Disney Parks addict’s expectations. The park size was tolerable to get everything done in a day. The washrooms were clean and AC’d and had real toilets since we don’t do the squat thing. We were disappointed the parade became an “express” version due to the heat and literally was one float but I guess the heat might kill the workers in the costumes. There were some nice rides that were unique to the park. I was a bit disappointed there wasn’t a traditional Main St USA like Paris or WDW. Zootopia World blew me away. The imagineering that went into that is spectacular. The ride was a high thrill and super fun. Too bad the line ups are huge to get simple things like a popcorn bucket. Fireworks were great but I was surprised there were no drones like the Paris show! The theater show only had the songs in English not sure what they were saying. Theatre is quite large and reminded us of Disney Cruise Line theaters.

Visiting Shanghai Disneyland was an unforgettable experience! The park is vibrant, full of energy, and bursting with color—especially thanks to all the amazing cosplay. Guests dressed up in creative costumes really brought the magic to life and made the atmosphere even more festive. From thrilling rides to enchanting shows, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. I highly recommend booking your tickets in advance to avoid long lines and make the most of your visit. Whether you’re a Disney fan or just looking for a fun day out, Shanghai Disneyland is a must-see destination!
Mr. N — Google review
Good fun. The queues are quite long though. Most of the popular attractions are over 100 minutes wait time. We did find that the line went quicker than they anticipated. A lot of the attractions which were 5 min wait time were pleasant to do as an adult. We had no kids with us, just 3 adults. Queue to get into the park took almost one hour to get in, the one nice thing is you are constantly moving, not standing still all the time. To get your ticket, you need ID, so if a foreigner remember to take your passport. At the gate they scan your passport and then you go through. Super easy. When you leave Disneyland it is not clear where to get didi. Its not the same place that you get dropped off. When you come out of the park, go straight over the foot bridge, dont go right to where the taxis are. Overall we had a really nice time. If you dont plan to spend the whole day there, id suggest going in the afternoon around 3pm. 5 - 6 hours is enough, especially if you dont plan to go on all the rides. If you go on all the rides, you'll need around 6 - 8 hours to stand in queues.
Christine A — Google review
The park is quite big, the facilities is very new. There's many water dispenser so do bring your own bottles. The park is easily accessible through the mrt. There's some shop outside the park to buy some finger food. The food and drink inside the park is Disney price. Do arrive early for the security screening. For foreigner the ticket is tied to our passport. Most of the ride is explain in mandarin. Weather can be hot in summer, do bring a cap, umbrella and perhaps a portable fan.
Chun L — Google review
Superb place for the family, a definite recommendation for anyone visiting Shanghai, loads of things to do and some awesome rides including pirates 3D ride and zootopia which were absolutely fun, the place is huge and definitely need 2 days to cover all rides but if you come early and on weekdays you can do many rides. Access to the place is easy and with didi app you can go to book for as much as a 120 yuan from city center or take a metro ride. Food is normal and overpriced as expected so suggest you to take some snacks and drinks. Overall a fantastic experience.
Vipul R — Google review
Went to the park early on a weekday and we were able to get on most rides before noon basically all walk on. In the afternoon and after 5pm things got busier and so had to plan more - but by then we were just watching shows and parades. The Pirates ride is very unique from other parks, Zootopia is amazing and should be a morning priority, the food through the park is my only complaint (not bad, just not good). But if you plan (and have some good shoes) you can do the park in a day, or if want to move more casually then a day and a half.
Steven L — Google review
We had loads of fun at Shanghai Disneyland. Love their informative app - it offers realtime wait time feature👍😄 Also like their “favorite” feature for marking our favorite attractions💖🎈We were able to watch Mickey’s Storybook Express (parade) and enjoyed - The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh 小熊维尼历险记 - Zootopia Hot Pursuit - Voyages of the Crystal Grotto 孟彩奇航 - Mickey’s Storybook Adventure (theatre show) - Mickey’s Storybook Adventure (ride) - Hunny Pot Spin Their store’s products are cheaper than the ones in the US, in average😄😬 Their parades are at 12:15 and 3:45pm, instead of at night. We also enjoyed the fantastic fireworks and light shows - all in all, we had a fun-filled day and magical experience🥰💕🙌✨🎉
JJ C — Google review
I went on a weekday, but there were still a lot of visitors. The line to enter the park was quite long and took a while. There’s a bag check before entering (and it was a bit odd to see that some people weren’t allowed to bring in certain items, while others seemed to get them through). The lines for the rides were also long, depending on which attraction you choose. If you don’t want to wait too long, you can buy special passes. Even though the regular queues take time, the overall crowd management is quite good. The park is also clean. Overall, it was a fun experience, but you may need to plan your rides and timing if you want to get through everything you want.

It stands as one of the tallest buildings in China and provides breathtaking city views that include iconic landmarks such as the Jin Mao Tower and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. Completed in 2008, this mixed-use building houses offices, observation decks, shopping malls, and one of the world's highest hotels.
The Shanghai Towers are a remarkable showcase of modern architecture, symbolizing the rapid development of Shanghai as a global metropolis. The most iconic among them is the Shanghai Tower, which stands at 632 meters, making it the tallest building in China and the second tallest in the world. Its unique twisting design not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also helps to reduce wind loads on the structure.

Overall, the skyline of Shanghai, dominated by these architectural marvels, reflects the city's ambition and innovative spirit.

The Shanghai World Financial Center is an iconic skyscraper and one of the must-visit landmarks in the city. Standing at 492 meters, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of Shanghai, especially from the observation deck on the 100th floor, which features a glass floor that gives you a thrilling view straight down. The building itself is a marvel of modern architecture and engineering, often referred to as the “bottle opener” because of its unique shape. It houses offices, luxury hotels, restaurants, and high-end shopping options.

The Shanghai World Financial Center is a true architectural wonder. Its unique design and grandeur make it a standout feature of Shanghai's skyline. I was impressed by its innovative architecture and the sense of awe it inspires. A visit to this iconic landmark is highly recommended. Additionally, staying at both the W Hotel and EDITION Hotel suites afforded me stunning views of this remarkable building, further highlighting its architectural brilliance.

We have been to many observatories and this has been one of our favorite. Sheer glass and modernity from the futuristic elevator to the all glass deck that you can see below and beyond. Best to visit at dusk and stop by the cafe until evening to catch two views for the price of one.

The Bund

Mentioned on 
+179 other lists 
Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
The Bund is a historic 1,500-meter-long waterfront promenade in Shanghai, featuring a mix of modern and colonial buildings. The area has undergone gentrification, attracting luxury brands like MCM, Cartier, Prada, and Ralph Lauren to set up shop in former colonial banking and trading headquarters along the Huangpu River.
The Bund is a powerful visual lesson in economic progression, Shanghai has arrived at. I truly appreciate the sheer scale of ambition here. The colonial architecture on this side—a reminder of old foreign concession—provides a stunning contrast to Pudong’s futuristic Lujiazui skyline, a true symbol of modern Chinese might. It’s like watching 100 years of progress condensed across a single river. The current lifestyle is dazzling; a cosmopolitan buzz that rivals the Lion City, packed with high-end luxury and dining. Despite the crowds, the waterfront promenade is truly magnificent at night. A must-see spectacle.
David L — Google review
The location is beautiful and becomes especially captivating in the evening, when it is lit up with vibrant lights. Visitors are advised to wear appropriate protective clothing, including warm coats and comfortable shoes, as the temperature tends to drop significantly after sunset. The area can get quite crowded during the evenings due to the high public turnout, but overall, the atmosphere is lively and the experience is very enjoyable.
Manoj A — Google review
A postcard can't capture the energy here. We came for the iconic skyline but fell in love with the atmosphere. Strolling as the sun set and the city lights ignited was pure magic. The perfect blend of historic grandeur and futuristic wonder. An absolute must do.
Mohamed K — Google review
The Bund (also known as the Waitan) is a famous waterfront and protected historical district in central Shanghai, China, known for its unique blend of historic colonial architecture and modern skyline views across the Huangpu River. The Bund features 52 buildings along a 1.5-kilometer (0.9 mile) stretch of Zhongshan Road that showcase a range of architectural styles from the 19th and early 20th centuries, including Gothic, Baroque, Neoclassical, Romanesque, and Art Deco. The historic buildings on the west bank of the Huangpu River offer a striking contrast to the modern, futuristic skyscrapers of the Lujiazui financial district on the east bank, embodying Shanghai's rapid transformation. The area is a popular destination for both tourists and locals, bustling with activity day and night. The buildings and the Pudong skyline are dramatically illuminated in the evening, providing spectacular photo opportunities. A walk along the riverside promenade is the best way to appreciate the architecture and the dynamic cityscape on both sides of the river.
Doug H — Google review
I visited The Bund a few times and it never disappoints. The riverfront promenade is wide and easy to walk, with a clear view across the Huangpu River to the glittering skyline in Pudong. The sweet spot is late afternoon into evening. You catch the sunset, the sky shifts color, then the buildings light up and reflect on the water. It makes photos look great without much effort and the breeze off the river keeps things comfortable even when the walkway gets busy. What I like most is the contrast. On one side you have the historic facades and grand old banks, on the other you have sleek glass towers and the Oriental Pearl peeking through. It feels lively but still orderly. Street musicians show up now and then, families stroll, and there are plenty of ledges to pause and take in the view. If you want a calmer experience, go on a weekday or arrive a little earlier than the evening rush. Practical notes. Wear comfortable shoes because you will end up walking more than planned. If it is breezy, a light jacket helps. There are a few spots with a slightly higher vantage point if you want a wider shot, and you can usually wait a minute for a clear frame even when it is crowded. Getting there is straightforward by metro, and there are lots of cafes and restaurants a short walk away if you want to sit down afterward. Overall, The Bund is an easy recommendation for first time visitors and repeat travelers. Give it a couple of hours from late afternoon to night and you will leave with a full camera roll and the feeling that you have seen the essential Shanghai view.

A promenade along the Huangpu River with iconic views of Shanghai's skyscrapers and the Pearl Tower. Just steps away from Shanghai's bustling streets, dotted with historic European-style buildings, including the postal museum. There are plenty of vantage points to choose from, and plenty of street photographers are ready to help you snap photos. There aren't many good places to eat here, most of the places are overhyped and overpriced with terrible taste. There is one place to eat that we tried and it is cheap, some of the menu quite good and the taste is better than some of the expensive places there. We're lucky enough because they are open until late at night.

Yu Garden

Mentioned on

Botanical garden
Nature & Parks
Yu Garden, a 5-acre garden constructed in 1577, showcases Ming dynasty pavilions, ponds, rockeries, and arched bridges. The Deluxe Yu Garden View Rooms offer comfort and indulgence with views of the garden and old Shanghai town. These rooms feature king or twin beds, a sitting area, walk-in closet, large marble bathroom with luxury amenities like 'Bed of Reign,' digitally controlled guestroom system with iPad for TV control and room service orders.
Absolutely amazing place, worth the visit for all nature and scenic lovers, it's in the heart of Shanghai near the yuyuan bazar and a must for people visiting Shanghai, it's better to be early as it's less rush we went in October mid but the temperature was still a bit warm but manageable, tickets can be bought at the garden itself for 30-40 rmb depending on the season, for kids below 120 cm it's free entry. You can buy some souvenirs in the premises if you want and come out to the bazar and enjoy some great food.
Vipul R — Google review
What an incredible place! It is a perfect example of classic Chinese architecture from the Ming Dynasty, serving as an oasis of tranquility amidst the city's hustle. An important note: the classic garden itself (Yu Garden) closes before dusk and has a paid entrance. The surrounding area, the Yuyuan Bazaar, is what becomes incredibly illuminated and, in my opinion, even more beautiful at night. Access to the bazaar is free and the view is magical.
Luana B — Google review
I visited Yu Garden in Huangpu and it easily lives up to the hype. Picture classical Ming style in the middle of the city, koi ponds under carved pavilions, rockeries that twist into little caves, and the famous zigzag bridge leading toward the Huxinting teahouse. It is busy, yet the layout gives you plenty of corners to slow down for photos and a few quiet minutes. Timing makes a difference. Early on a weekday is calm and the light is soft for photos. Late afternoon is also lovely, since the surrounding bazaar starts to glow and you can wander straight out for snacks and souvenirs without losing that old Shanghai atmosphere. If you visit around Lunar New Year, the annual Yuyuan Lantern Festival usually runs from early January into mid February and the area turns into a glowing maze of themed lanterns. It gets crowded, but the spectacle is worth it.  Practical notes. The garden keeps typical hours around 9:00 to 16:30 with last entry about 16:00, and tickets are seasonally priced, usually in the 30 to 40 RMB range. You can buy on site or online, and an hour or two is enough for an unhurried loop if you are not rushing.  Getting there is simple by metro. Yuyuan Garden station sits a short walk away and connects to Lines 10 and 14, which makes this an easy stop to pair with the Bund or People’s Square in the same day. Right outside the garden you will find the Yuyuan Bazaar, a warren of traditional style storefronts that sell snacks, tea, trinkets, and a few touristy bits, fun for a short browse after your visit.  Overall, Yu Garden is a classic for good reason. It gives you a compact crash course in Jiangnan garden design, plenty of photo friendly moments, and a smooth link to the food and shopping right outside, all without needing to leave central Shanghai.
Le G — Google review
Yu Garden, Shanghai is a 400-year old garden built during the Ming Dynasty as a private garden. The garden has very intricate design structures, with traditional buildings, bridges, ponds and pavilions and the most beautiful Dragan wall. There are many scenic areas and each one is a big photo opportunity. The famous Yuyuan Bazaar is located right next to Yu Garden. The Chinese architecture and design of the Bazaar is very beautiful. There are a lot of shops in the Bazaar selling jewelry, souvenirs, and local food items. Minimum three hours is needed to visit the Yu Garden. It's a must visit place in Shanghai.
Soudamini M — Google review
This garden is an absolute must-see. It’s a wonderfully peaceful place to spend a late afternoon — which is exactly what was recommended to us. Although it can get a bit busy around that time, the soft, golden light gives the whole area a magical atmosphere. I suggest arriving around 2 p.m. and staying until closing. By the time you leave, if it’s after dark, you’ll step out into the surrounding area, which is also beautifully illuminated and well worth exploring.
V.patel — Google review
The Yuyuan garden is a really searched touristic target in Shanghai and because of that, very crowded. It is better to look for specific periods which there is not so much people inside. Other good possibility is to go with one previously organized tour. The garden is amazing, full with Chinese history and very fine and unique pieces. There are different sectors, all of them with different kinds of art and the exterior gardens are part of such art. The entrance costs around four US dollars/Euros. I'd estimate 90 minutes to see it. Absolutely recommended.

A stunning garden in the center of Shanghai, where you can lose yourself in the beautiful buildings reconstructed in an ancient style. There's a wonderful perspective between the old buildings and the ultramodern skyscrapers that surround the garden. I always recommend a guide to point out any hidden gems in the garden.

Doug H — Google review
As of April 2025, the main exhibition is "The Civilization of Ancient Egyptian" special exhibition, with many permanent exhibitions relocated to the Pudong branch ("Shanghai Museum East Campus" on Google Maps), leaving only three permanent exhibition halls at the People's Square branch. That's why I spent most of time here on Egyptian exhibitions, the artifacts on display are very well curated with tools, sculptures, tablets, four thousand years old bread, and many historical pieces on display, visualizing the ancient civilization on many aspects. Notes that the names of the exhibits are available in Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean, but the full description or extended explanation is in Chinese, so make sure your translator app is ready. I spent about an hour at the permanent exhibitions, the displays of Chinese furniture and Chinese minorities' arts and crafts were interesting, but not on the scale that I expected to see here. The permanent exhibition is free, but I couldn't find a way to book the ticket or tell the staff that I just wanted to walk-in. I ended up booking the special exhibition for 148 CNY/person through the "上海博物馆参观预约" WeChat miniapp, just show on your phone that you booked and they will let you in the front entrance, the actual ticket validation is at the entrance of each special exhibition hall using your passport number. Even though I did not expect to see ancient Egyptian artifacts in Shanghai, I believe the special exhibition is worth the price, but this is not the place to learn about Chinese and Shanghai history. If you happen to be in the area, the alternative ones are Shanghai Historical Museum and Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center, both of which are in the People's Square area (disclaimer: I have yet to visit these two).

上海博物馆 (人民广场馆) The museum is spread over 2 buildings, some distance apart. This is the one at Renmin Square. Free to enter but you need to plan early and snatch tickets online in advance. The slots open at 12.10pm thru their WeChat account 2 wks out (recommend going in at 12nn and keep refreshing the page until it opens). All the slots were snapped up within 20 mins or so. Level 1: A special Egyptian themed exhibit split across 3 halls - The Secrets of Saqqara, The Land of Pharoahs and The Age of Tutankhamun. On till 17 Aug 2025. Wasn't my intent to see this, having been to Saqqara before. But this is what the locals are here for hence the tight ticket situation (cause you first need a general entry into the museum). I paid ¥30 for an audio guide, thinking it was for the normal exhibits, only to realise it's just for the Egyptian showcase. As such, I paid another ¥148 for the ticket to the 3 exhibit halls. The audio guide only covered slightly more than half the exhibits, and with the many tour groups and crowds, it would have been more effective if the earphones are noise-cancelling. Level 3 & 4: Free to enter. A hall on Costumes of the Minority Groups in China, another on Ming Qing Furniture and a special exhibit hall on carvings made out of Rhino horns.

The Shanghai Museum at People's Square has limited displays. During my visit, most of the rooms were closed. However, the building itself is quite impressive. I've heard that there are two or three other branches of the Shanghai Museum nearby that feature more interesting exhibits worth exploring. If you are visiting People's Square, a half-hour visit to the museum is sufficient, and there is generally no waiting time to enter. There's no need to buy tickets; our passports serve as admission.

Scenic spot
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Walking Areas
The Shanghai French Concession Needle General Yard Former Site is a repurposed factory area that has been transformed into a vibrant pedestrianized neighborhood filled with shops, restaurants, and a creative atmosphere. This charming district was once a settlement for French colonialists and is known for its mix of old and new architecture, including the 1924 Normandie Apartments and the 1930s Art Deco Cathay Theater. The area's leafy canopy of plane trees adds to its allure.
Located in Xintiandi, Shanghai, the French Concession is a nice area to walk on by. Key information about Xintiandi includes: It is a tourist attraction that blends historical and cultural styles. The area showcases "Shikumen" architecture, a popular building style from the 1800s in Shanghai. Xintiandi is a modern entertainment and lifestyle precinct. The French Concession, where Xintiandi is located, dates back to 1849 and became the largest and most prosperous French concession in China. In the 1920s, it was considered the best residential area in Shanghai.

It hosts various events including the prestigious Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix. Visitors can explore the Porsche Experience Center and Shanghai Auto Museum. The circuit offers an immersive experience with access to areas like paddocks and grandstands. While it provides excellent views of on-track action, some visitors suggest improvements such as track tours and better amenities like food options and beverage outlets in the grandstand area.
Magnificent race track. I joined a tour around the circuit and the guy was a chilled guy. We visited the media room, race control room, podium stage, and winners waiting room. It’s a really fun experience as a f1 fan to see things up close. There’s also a big karting circuit next to it, recommended as well.

An exceptional experience at the Shanghai Audi International Circuit. The track is world-class, perfectly built for Formula 1, offering both thrilling racing action and an outstanding spectator experience. The organization was seamless, with clear signage, efficient entry, and easy access to various viewing areas.
Abdo D — Google review
tour was very nice and went to paddock, grandstands, briefing room etc. One thing missing is a track tour, like Daytona they should have trams that take you for a roundabout, but since they're resurfacing the track now maybe they will in the future. They also need to have an open merch store, and consistent schedules for tours and gokart track, which was supposed to open but never did. The AC was not on and inside it was sweltering and completely deserted with no resteraunt or anything open which is a missed opportunity. Overall it's a great and cheap way to see f1 track, but they need to capitalize on customer needs more.

Colin S — Google review
Excellent views of most of the circuit, that itself provides plenty of on track action. My only gripe would be some escalators to at least get up a few levels of the very high grandstand, and some better food options, and maybe some beverage outlets in the grandstand itself (on a higher level)

The Shanghai Auto Museum is a must-visit for car enthusiasts, showcasing a diverse collection of vintage vehicles and classic cars. Located in the Shanghai Auto Expo Park at Anting Town of Jiading District, the museum offers an extensive look at the past 100 years of automobile history. With over 70 rare vehicles on display, visitors can explore the evolution of modern cars and learn about the assembly of different car parts.
Informative and interactive museums! A large collection of antique cars. You can rent an audio player to guide you thru, there is English and mandarin option. The cafe on the top floor is ok, we only got a coffee. And btw you are allowed to bring along the coffee when you browse. There is a “Antique Car Experience” for paying about ¥300 which already includes 2adults and 1 or 2 children entrance tickets. A 20 mins ride to a nearby park where you can take good look at the car and take photos! This museum gives you the history of automobile from invention, to adding speed elements, to modifications and manufactures. It is almost like the Patterson automobile museum in LA, if you know which one

Visited in February 22, on a Sunday. Started to get busy in the afternoon, but quiet in the morning. The museum shows great samples well preserved historical cars from different countries. It is definitely worth a visit if you like history of transportation. You also get a glimpse of what Shanghai looked 100 years ago for transport , roads and traffic.

Well curated museum and lots of information as long as you get a guide. Without a guide you're just looking at the eye candy. It's in the middle of nowhere if you are staying in downtown Shanghai so it may be a trek. If you love cars though, it's worth a visit. Although imyou may have seen all these cars before with the exception of the China specific cars.

Car museum located in the Anting Shanghai International Auto City area. Definitely a must see if you are interested in cars especially classic cars. 60 RMB for an adult ticket. Open Tuesday-Sunday 9:30am to 4:30pm. Closed earlier in the day than expected so take note to get there earlier. I easily spent over 3 hours browsing the 3 floors of cars and information. First floor has the history of the automobile from the wheel to the first diesel engine, auto transmission, and assembly line. Lots of cool stuff to see. Next floor has a history of the automobile in China. 3rd floor is comprised of antique classic car collections and an extended range of miniature car models. On the top level there is a learning and discovering area for children and adults which teaches you about how cars work and the parts of the car (engine combustion cycle, transmission, suspension, steering, etc.) All of the children's stuff is in Chinese however. Also F1 racing simulators on this level. There is a gift shop by the entrance that sales lots of miniature car models. Great if you can occupy yourself, not many guide options and only restroom I saw was on the top floor. Definitely check it out for the classic cars alone.

Water & Amusement Parks

Shanghai Happy Valley, also known as the South Gate, is a popular destination for families and thrill-seekers alike. During the tourism festival, visitors can enjoy half-price tickets, but be prepared for long queues at popular attractions. The park offers a wide range of amusement facilities including roller coasters, carousels, and pirate ships to cater to all types of tourists.
(Translated by Google) Great place, bought a ticket on trip.com, a combo for two days of water park and attractions, the first day we went to the attractions, there are practically no queues, a little disappointed that raincoats are not included in the ticket price on the water slide and things can only be left in their storage room, also for a fee, rode all the attractions, and there was still time left. I especially liked the wooden slide and next to it the red slide with almost vertical descents. The next day we went to the water park. About how to get there, SHESHAN metro station, we get off and cross to the other side of the road, there is a free bus, there are different buses to the attractions and the water park. I also liked the water park, but I didn’t like the fact that when you get the key to the storage room, they don’t give you towels and be especially careful in the showers, don’t leave things unattended on the bench, there are no cameras and no one has cancelled theft, while my daughter was washing herself in the shower, a bag with shorts and panties was taken, accidentally or intentionally, we never figured out. That's how civilization is and they searched the cameras but didn't find who took it, it left an unpleasant aftertaste. Also, overall, it's a very good water park. (Original) Отличное место, брали билет по trip.com, комбо на два дня аквапарк и аттракционы, первый день сходили на аттракционы, очередей практически нет, немного огорчило, что на водяной горке дождевики не входят в стоимость билета и вещи можно оставить только в их камере хранения тоже платно, покатались на всех аттракционах, ещё и время осталось. Особенно понравилась деревянная горка и рядом с ней красная горка с почти вертикальными спусками. На следующий день пошли в аквапарк. По поводу как добраться станция метро SHESHAN, выходим и переходим на другую сторону дороги там бесплатный автобус, на аттракционы и аквапарк разные автобусы. Аквапарк тоже понравился, но не понравилась то, что при получение ключа от камеры хранения не выдают полотенца и будьте особо внимательны в душевых не оставляйте вещи без присмотра на скамейке, там нет камер и воровство никто не отменял у меня у дочери пока она мылась в душе забрали пакет с шортами и трусами, случайно или намеренно так и не разобрались. Вот так вот цивилизация и по камерам искали не нашли кто взял, остался неприятный осадок. Так же в целом очень хороший аквапарк.

Thames Town, situated in Songjiang, Shanghai, is a unique destination designed to resemble a classic English village. The town features charming cobbled streets and picturesque Tudor-style homes that exude an authentic British countryside ambiance. Upon entering Thames Town, visitors are transported into a European movie-like setting with every detail reflecting strong British influences. The iconic Gothic-style church at the town's center adds to the enchanting atmosphere reminiscent of ancient English churches.

I’m British and I have a passing interest in urban architecture so I thought it would be interesting to visit this novel area to see how this supposed modal of a quaint British town would look. In some ways it actually felt a little strange feeling, seeing these vague reimagining of old style British buildings and streets, but everything feeling empty and abandoned made it feel a little ghostly. I was also hoping to see a few European style cafes and even maybe a British style pub to grab a pint, which would have added to the novelty, but sadly I couldn’t see anything that would match the theme. It was still an interesting visit although it did take almost two hours from the centre of Shanghai taking the subway and then walking from the station. In reality Themes Town was originally created as a residential project, not as a tourist attraction, but I think they can definitely lean more into the latter by embracing the novelty and it could become a more fun place to visit.
Charlie M — Google review
around 30 mins bike ride (10mins didi) from the closest metro station. Nice scenery while you walking really different image of shanghai id advise taking a cab there from the metro than cycling back. The town itself is a average rendition of an English town. handful of cafes and gift shops worth dropping into . Towards the lake has lovely landscape and ideal for Dates, Picnics etc.
Shannon L — Google review
Feel a little cheated to come all the way here and there is nothing much. It’s not really worth it unless you have a lot of time to spare in Shanghai. Or you are looking for somewhere to take wedding photo. Thames town is a residential estate so don’t expect anything to shop or even eat. Just a few eateries targeting on tourist. The place is not very big so you can finish in half an hour. A lot of couples took their wedding shots here.
Hazel Y — Google review
I don't know where to start. At some point this was maybe a good idea but then hardly anyone moved in and those who did moved out because no commerce got started and then the weeds and wedding photography studios took over. I feel sorry for anybody like me who thought they could grab a pint in a proper local pub. I was trying the door for far too long before it dawned on me there is nobody home in Thames Town. It should be rebranded as a huge Britain-themed film lot.
Drew B — Google review
Fairly interesting 'British Town' in Shanghai. Has a church, winding cobbled streets and mock tudor housing. Could be improved with 'british' cafes or even a British pub! It is a bit of a ghost town to be honest. There are quite a lot of couples taking pre-wedding photos which is nice. If taking the subway, get out at Songjiang Xincheng (Line 9) and take the bus (松江16) rather than walking the whole way, as it's quite a walk (about an hour). It's free to walk around.

Tinglin Park is a serene and picturesque destination located just 30 minutes from Kunshan. This ancient town is known for its waterways, bridges, and beautiful cherry blossoms in the spring. The park itself features stunning gardens filled with blooming azaleas and cherry blossoms during this season, offering visitors the perfect setting for a leisurely stroll, a peaceful picnic, or even some bird watching.
Beautiful park in the heart of Kunshan with little bridges, a mountain you can hike to the top (10 minutes max.) and gardens and bamboo forest. Simply wonderful. There is also a cat cafeteria and library inside and the staff is very welcoming and speaks English. Two cats live there as well.
Arina V — Google review
When you visit Kunshan, it's hard to imagine not visiting Tinglin Park. Admission is a very understandable 20 RMB, it is very centrally located and easily accessible (Bus 1 from Kunshan (slow train) station) and the views are on par with some of the gardens in Suzhou with only a fraction of the tourists. A recent expansion has almost doubled the size of the park so be prepared to walk quite a bit. In the centre of the park is a mountain that features a variety of ways to climb it, ranging from roads and stairs to more challenging natural paths. From the mountain top, there are outstanding views of Kunshan. Spring is probably the best season to visit but when we visited in the winter, it was still gorgeous if in a more bleak way. Take some of the less obvious trails and paths and you will be rewarded with some excellent photo opportunities. Pro Tip: Summer evenings occasionally feature outdoor Chinese opera performances in the gardens and "walking" on the ponds (through optical illusion). The opera features English subtitles on a screen. Even if Chinese opera is not your thing, you will definitely not regret this experience. Absolutely not to be missed. Check at the park entry gate for opera times and tickets.

It's a nice escape for a walk. It has a small entrance fee. They have done a good job to keep things beautiful and give the visitors the feeling that they are in a "traditional" Chinese garden. It also has a Buda temple. But you can say that nothing is original there, from the waters up in the hill (no spring nearby) to some "rocks" that are actually painted foam. It's about a 3Hours walk to see everything at the park and it sure worth the effort and time.

Shanghai Zhujiajiao Ancient Town Tourist Zone, often called the Venice of Shanghai, is a historic water town with a legacy spanning over 1700 years. This charming destination is renowned for its ancient temples, traditional houses, and picturesque bridges that showcase its cultural significance.
Took DiDi from the city, about 50mins. The entry walk to the area are lined with various tea, food & souvenir shops. Once you are in the old town, it was crowded especially along the alleyways where shops offered food, handicrafts, clothes, pearls, hand & beauty creams & one modern medicine shop. The canal was busy with the occasional boat rides rowing past, the bridges were crowded with people taking photos, especially those who dressed up in the period dresses from the numerous shops offering this service. It was quaint & delightful to observe. A good place to spend half a day or so + lunch in the number of interesting inns there.

A great place to visit when in Shanghai - tourist friendly. We booked a guide to take us before heading to the airport and they took care of everything- tickets, transport and most importantly explaining to us the many special places. Rows of stalls offering snacks (many local cuisines) and souvenirs (including many antique shops and cat/dog cafes) on each side of the river banks. The boat ride (Additional fee) was great to orientate on arrival.

If you do not have time to visit Suzhou or Hangzhou, here is a great place to see the ancient town built along the intricate waterways. Shops are mostly the same as what you could find in a typical Chinese ancient town selling more or less the same items, so I would instead spend more time reading up the history behind the town. This is accessible from Shanghai city using Metro line 17. However, the journey could take roughly 1.5hr. So do plan your time and take into consideration the long travel time Visited on 2 January 2025, Thursday. No tickets required, free entry.

The Zhujiajiao Ancient Water Town is an important tourist destination, about one hour drive from Shanghai city. The Town was established nearly 1700 years ago, famous for stone bridges, waterways and Ming and Qing dynasty architecture. It's also called The "Venice of Shanghai". Its very enjoyable to spend time there, walking along the waterways, taking a boat cruise or relaxing with a cup of tea. Other places to visit is the landmark Kenzi garden established in 1912. It has a main hall, a garden, and an artificial hill. Fangsheng Bridge is another attraction, best among the 36 ancient stone bridges, It was built in 1812 and supposed to be the largest stone arch bridge in Shanghai. The Zhujiajiao Ancient Water Town is so beautiful that one can easily spend an entire day there, but a minimum of three hours is needed to see it.

Review for Zhujiajiao ancient Water Town. To reach there you can take subway from Shanghai Hongqiao subway station. "Wonderful place! Zhujiajiao Water Town is incredibly well-preserved, with its ancient charm still intact. You'll love strolling along the canals, crossing the many bridges, and taking in the historic architecture. The old houses on the canal banks have been beautifully transformed into restaurants, shops, and local produce stores. A highlight is the ancient post office turned museum, where you can send letters to yourself or loved ones from special post boxes - they'll be mailed to you in a specific month of a future year of your choice! What a unique experience! Perfect for a relaxing day trip or a romantic getaway. Highly recommended!" 5/5 stars

Ancient Town Fengjing

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
Historic Sites
Ancient Town Fengjing is a lesser-known gem, often overlooked in favor of Tongli, but it offers a more genuine experience. It features the same rich culture and stunning scenery without the crowds. Visitors can expect a tranquil and unhurried ambiance, ideal for relaxation. One must-try delicacy here is the special soy sauce pork leg slice, unique to Fengjing.
A calming and relaxing place with less tourist in the area. Had a great lunch and boat tour, recommended to spend 2-3hr here

The canals here are lined with houses built using a crisscross wood technique that flexes during typhoons. Local grandmothers sell rice wine fermented in clay jars buried during the winter solstice. The covered bridge's wooden planks are worn into waves by centuries of footsteps.

Its a forgotten little gem. People often go to Tongli Which is good but could be packed with tourist. Fengjing has the same culture and views. I had been to both its more organic here. Must and Must try their special soysauce pork leg slice!! You can only find it in Fengjing!

(Translated by Google) Fengjing Ancient Town is a typical small scenic spot that can be visited. There are not many people there in summer. If you want to take photos in Hanfu~ Compared with other well-known ancient towns, it is smaller and can be pleasant to walk. I didn’t take a boat when I went there, which was a pity! (Original) 楓涇古鎮就是典型小小的、可以走訪的景點,夏天去人不多,如果要穿漢服拍照非常合適~ 相較其他知名古鎮,規模較小一些,散步也是愜意 去的時候沒有搭船,有點小可惜!

(Translated by Google) Fengjing Ancient Town is considered a small ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River. Many shops in the ancient town are only open on holidays. Along both sides of the stream, there are historic sites that require additional expenses. Outside the ancient town, there are general shops.

National park
Sights & Landmarks
Jiashan Xitang Ancient Town Scenic Area (West Gate) is a renowned tourist destination that seamlessly blends gardens, architecture, and culture. The area boasts unique and expansive architectural complexes alongside original garden landscapes, making it a standout example of ancient southern Yangtze River architecture and courtyard design. Visitors can expect an educational experience with opportunities for traditional costume photoshoots, scenic boat rides, local cuisine from food stalls, and picturesque spots for relaxation.
The guard will register your admission ticket to face regconition system and allows you to enter and exit the town within the dated day with the scan of your face. Tickets can also be purchase at the entrance of the east and west gate. Rolling luggage might be challenging as some places are cobblestone. Nice quiet little town to stay and explore for a day. Took the opportunity to do a photoshoot in hanfu here as it is less busy. The place is very clean and there are many small shops selling souvenir, hanfu rental and eateries. One of the bar street is also very lively at night. Take a scenic boat or visit the musuem to enjoy the experience of ancient town.

This place encompasses the historical, ancient and water-town attractions in and around the city of Wuxi , located in the Jiangnan region . Recommend to visit at night time …colorful lighting the scenic grand canal. So many Chinese food stores for trying..yami 😋 good experience on the traditional boat along the canal then back by ancient car …immerse in the charm of Jiangnan. Easy to visit as it is in town .

On our way to Hangzhou we made a stopover and tour around Xitang Ancient Town. It was a long walk but very educational. There were a lot of local tourists and some who were having photoshoots in their traditional costumes. There were also food stalls along the way and a scenic boat ride for a fee. So many areas to take photos and sit. The place brings you back to old China. So beautiful! Toilets can be found nearby. The alleys have cobblestone path and a bit hard to walk on. We ended our walk at the South gate where we had lunch.

This place was wonderful! I spent 3 days staying in a very nice small hotel next to the water(about 30 usd a night). During the day you can walk around checking out the sights or stopping at a local coffee shop to relax. There's also restaurants and shopping you can do. At night you can also enjoy the night views or go enjoy the night life. They have several bars and night clubs if you are into that. Oh and they filmed Mission Impossible 3 here.. Cool!!

Tongli Ancient Town

Mentioned on

Scenic spot
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
Tongli Ancient Town, located in the southern outskirts of Suzhou, is a well-known water town with a history of over 1000 years. The town is characterized by its intricate network of rivers that divide it into several parts, creating a picturesque setting with old residences and hidden gardens. This ancient town has also served as the backdrop for shows adapted from Wuxia novels.
An old water town with many residents. It is very quiet and peaceful after 8pm and before 9am. Nice to watch the locals’ way of life by the river. Ticket price is RMB100 if you were to enter between 8am and 5.15pm. The ticket allows for visits to several attractions in Tongli. Take a train via Line 4 to Tongli MRT and exit via 9 and 10 to catch a free tram to this water town. Tram operates from 7am to 7.15pm. Takes approximately 15min to reach the Tongli Ancient Town North Entrance. We stayed in the water town for 4 nights. Though it takes approx 1hr train ride to town, we love the slow pace here. The water town preserves its original building structure and hence the accommodations may be old. There are many accommodations within walking distance of the water town which have better facilities.

We came here around 6pm, no one asked for the tickets. Good place to spend some time. Many ancient structures are present here. Ladies are wearing ancient dress and make up and doing photography adding some ancient vibes. KFC and McDonald is also there.

Extraordinary location near Suzhou. The town is very alive, with many stalls, markets and shops ensuring a vibrant environment. The many bridges connecting the sides of the town are stunning works of fine stone masonry. One could only imagine how it would have been in the 19th century. Truly deserving of the title, “Venice of the East”.

Very shocking place! I wanted to die there and stay forever!!! I felt happiness, and all my senses were overflowing with impressions! Something that I wish every person to see in their lifetime - this is the ancient city of Tongli ❤️❤️❤️

Lots of walking, sorry to said not much things worth buying & the cafe we visited are so pricey. And need to pay RMB100 per person to enter the town.
Annt — Google review
Visited in Apr. This is the perfect relaxing water town to explore leisurely - beautiful, serene, retains a sense of authenticity, lively yet not overwhelmingly crowded (unlike Suzhou’s famous waterside streets which are so crowded it’s impossible to enjoy). Tongli Town is compact and extremely conducive for exploration on foot. Allocated a full day for day trip from Shanghai. Explore and soak in the atmosphere leisurely (rather than squeezing in whirlwind stop) especially for families with small kids. Took an excellent boat ride, explored a old buildings/gardens, the famous bridges and take a simple but relaxing, pleasant lunch stop at one of the canal side restaurants to sample local cuisine and chat with friendly locals. Lots of quaint coffee shops around town. Ticket buying at tourist centre was quick and hassle free (free for seniors and kids below 1.4m) - tickets for accessing buildings / gardens. 25 min boat ride recommended - clean, well maintained boats, relaxing and nice way to see the town.

(Translated by Google) Yanyulou, Nanhu District, the starting point of the Communist Party of China, the Red Boat Spirit Yanyu Tower is located on the island in the middle of Nanhu Lake, Nanhu Street, Nanhu District, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, China. Its history can be traced back to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. It was originally on the lakeside and was rebuilt in the middle of the lake during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Since then, pavilions and other ancillary buildings have been built around it. The buildings form a garden building complex with Yanyu Tower as the center. The current Yanyu Tower was built in the seventh year of the Republic of China (1918), and most of the other buildings were built during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. In the seventh year of the Republic of China (1918), the Yanyu Building was rebuilt again, which is now the building. At the same time, the Bayong Pavilion was moved to Pingshan in the city. During the Anti-Japanese War, Yanyu Building was once occupied by the Japanese invaders and used as the canteen of the Central China Railway Company. In early August of the 10th year of the Republic of China (1921), the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China was moved from Shanghai to a cruise ship in Nanhu. During this period, the Yanyu Tower served as a resting place for representatives. Later, Nanhu Lake and Yanyu Tower became witnesses of the birth of the Communist Party of China. and one of the symbols (Original) 南湖區烟雨樓 中國共產黨的起始點 紅船精神 煙雨樓位於中國浙江省嘉興市南湖區南湖街道南湖湖心島上,其歷史可追溯至五代十國時期,原在湖濱,明嘉靖時改建於湖心,此後在其周圍增築亭榭等附屬建築,形成以煙雨樓為中心的園林建築群,現狀煙雨樓建於民國七年(1918),其它建築多建於清同治時期。 民國七年(1918)再度重建煙雨樓,即今樓,同時將八詠亭移建於城內瓶山。抗戰期間煙雨樓曾一度被侵華日軍強占作為華中鐵道公司食堂。 民國十年(1921)8月初,中國共產黨第一次全國代表大會從上海轉移到南湖的一條遊船上繼續舉行,期間煙雨樓曾作為代表休息之處,後南湖和煙雨樓成為中國共產黨誕生的見證和象徵之一

Nanxun Old Town

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Walking Areas
Nanxun Old Town is a tranquil water town with a history of over 1400 years, boasting ancient buildings and bridges. Visitors can enjoy boating and walking tours while taking in the well-preserved architecture. The town offers various dining options, and a boat ride along the waterways is highly recommended. It's accessible by taxi from Suzhou, approximately 1.5 hours away.
Like many ancient towns in China, Nanxun is quite commercialized. Houses are beautiful, many are restaurants now but there are still people living in this town. The rivers, or should I say canals, extend through the whole town. You can walk everywhere but I strongly suggest a boat ride with the awning boats. I went to this town during the plum rains season, not ideal if you hate rains, but perfect if you really want to experience the “misty Jiangnan”, a well-known poetic depiction of the views in the old towns in the south side of the Yangtze river. Basically it is a Venice with mist and oriental features. Although you can walk everywhere but I strongly suggest to get on one of those famous awning boats to have to full experience. The local cuisine is also well-known in this area. River shrimps are small (as they are supposed to be) and the white fish has many fishbones (really a lot). I liked it a lot but it is probably not for everyone.
S.R. W — Google review
I’m giving Nanxun Old Town a full five stars because I’m still thinking about how peaceful and beautiful it is. I’m walking through the stone bridges and canals and I’m feeling like time is slowing down in the best way. The town is less commercial than many other water towns, so I’m enjoying real charm, quieter streets, and friendly locals who make the place feel warm and genuine. And it's FREE admission! The waterways, old houses, and photo spots are gorgeous and I’m finding something pretty at every corner. I also love that I can wander without feeling rushed or pushed by crowds. If anyone is looking for a calm and authentic Jiangnan water town experience, this is the place to go!

It is a very beautiful place to visit, during November the weather is a little cold and lesser people. However, I love it... a very well-preserved architecture. Many small small F&B to try out and you should really try to boat ride, only RMB160 for whole entire boat, so even if you are 2 persons you still have to charter the whole boat for the same price but it is worth the money. Highly recommended for tourists like me who don't like to walk too much

南浔古镇 Nanxun old town, You can take a taxi from Suzhou town to Nanxun old town with about 1 and half hour and RMB 150 - RMB 200 without the toll fee. The entrance of Nanxun old town is free but you can hire a tour guide (RMB 100-200) to bring you around with explaining But all the history houses need to pay the entrance fee (age more than 60 half price will show your passport). Nice place to go
Leong C — Google review
See the main areas but if you get there and it's too crowed just get around and explore you will see almost no one because the tours don't go that far. It took me 3 hours and a half to see the whole are and I would have preferred to go by myself that to book a tour but it was cheaper. As soon as we arrived I left the group to explore by myself. It was the best I could have done. The areas close to the last bridge are quite isolated and one can see houses of real people along the channel, they dry their clothes and underwear as well as fish in the river and cooked what they've caught, it's charming. The most important or touristic parts are the old houses, the temple and the rice wine factory.
