Nice garden to walk through, well maintained.

Beautiful gardens, many pavilions amidst lush greenery and water scape. Great way to spend a morning.

Nice little garden - not very large but nice to spend a causal stroll around. A good example of a typical Southern Chinese style landscape garden

Last time I've been there was 10 years ago, while my memory is still fresh

Nice place, good boat tour

(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

Quite a magnificent bridge indeed - over 30km long. Cutting short travel time from Shanghai to Ningbo significantly. Very smooth motorways and traffic with 3 lanes on each side with 100km/h speed limit.

Great connection, even in wild weather, heavy rain we made great time. Minimal traffic

I'm am surprised this type of miracles only in china .

35km bridge built over the sea. One among the longest in China. There is a scenic view point at the middle of the bridge. Connects Chinease city of Ningbo and Shanghai. I was excited to cross this bridge. The bridge barriers are painted with 7 different colours to differentiate the distance.

Beautiful bridge. Smooth pavement, long ride across the bay. One of many great experiences to have in China.

Never been there, but just know this kind of work that is incredible! Great wonderful job!

A beautiful example of excellent engineering.. must go to feel the beauty.. bridge is 35673meter long.

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.

Beautiful water town, not crowded at all in August! It’s better to stay one night inside the scenic area to really appreciate it.

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”.

The most beautiful place in the world ❤️❤️❤️ Classical gardens are 2000 years old! Live pictures! And the windows on the walls are their frames! So much beauty in every millimeter! 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.

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.

Rmb150 per boat. Nice view. Do not let her sing for you. Its RMB 20 per song. She will sing 5.

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!!

Romantic place indeed

My favorite city I visited in China. It is small and simple but full of history and fun. The food is amazing and you will not find another city that is as beautiful as this one. The rivers at sunset make the city glow.

Fantastic... definitely worth a visit

Beautiful place tonvisit

Amazing place

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!

Authentic China!

ok

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.

It was a very old town but lots to see if you enjoy cultural stuff. With the clear blue skies, you will be able to capture awesome pictures with the boat and water. A cafe is there too for you to cool down but it is quite expensive. Overall it is quite an experience 😀😀😀👍👍👍

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

Zhujiajiao an ancient water town located in the Qingpu District on the outskirts of Shanghai, China. Often referred to as the "Venice of Shanghai," it is a popular tourist destination known for its well-preserved traditional architecture, canals, and stone bridges. Key Features and Attractions Canals and Bridges: The town is built around a network of canals, with over 36 ancient stone bridges still in use, including the iconic Fangsheng Bridge, a five-arch stone bridge that is a landmark of the town. Ancient History: Established about 1,700 years ago, the town has a rich history, with archaeological findings in the area dating back 5,000 years. Traditional Architecture: Visitors can explore numerous well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty-era houses and gardens. Boat Rides: Gondola-style boat rides along the canals offer a unique perspective of the town's charming streets and houses. Ke Zhi Yuan (Ke Family Garden): A large, traditional Chinese garden featuring a man-made hill, a pond, and various pavilions, offering a peaceful retreat. North Street (Bei Dajie): The main street is lined with ancient shops, restaurants, and tea houses, providing a vibrant glimpse into local life and commerce. Visiting Zhujiajiao is easily accessible from central Shanghai by bus or metro, making it a popular day-trip destination for those looking to experience the charm of an ancient Chinese water town without traveling far from the modern metropolis.

Took the subway here from Huangpu District and it took about a little over an hour. Definitely worth the stop out here and to see Chinese cultural building rather than the modern setup they have now.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Very cool place for shooting, kinda European style village. Was extremely happy to visit it. And you have to take a cab or a bus to get there, but its pretty affordable.

If you have time enough, nice to visit half a day. Quite far from city center. There are similar towns, like Holland town but this one seemed to me the most busy and occupied.

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.

Beautiful park with great views. Only 20 RMB to enter.

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.

Nice, well-kept, orderly. No wheels chair access.

Quiet and peaceful place to hang around.

Nice walking through the park and up the hill

why shall we need to pay for park. >"<

The rollercoasters are great, however, during my visit they were not all open. The facility seems bigger than it needs to be, and some decorations seem really odd or unkempt. However, if you are into rollercoasters, then it may be worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) Very good, some facilities are not complete. I hope the scenic spots with water are equipped with storage boxes. (Original) 非常不错，有些设施不太全，希望有水的景点配备储物箱

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.

The happiest moment during the Shanghai Auto Museum work visit on 2025-06-15.

Best car museum I’ve been to, great activities and very interactive. Thu, Aug 7 2025 - Lucas

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.

One of the best example of automotive history I’ve been to. A fantastic blend of history of the car in China evolved as well as many international examples. Well worth the visit.

Many classic and golden era cars, few modern. If you like cars then it worthy to travel to the other side of Shanghai to see.

Not the best beach but its decent to escape the city for a while. Dog friendly, no waves and some plastic in the water.

Cool place. Looks kinda like beach area with couple shops, few restaurants, and sightseeing places. The beach side is not great however..

Smoking habits is nice she's never mind

Pretty decent place for wakeboarding.

(Translated by Google) It's probably about 300 meters of artificial sandy beach, water skiing, sightseeing flights, motor boats, buggies, foot and hand boats, slides, and everything in between.

A legendary circuit which has hosted F1 events since its inauguration in 2004. I attended the F1 weekend in 2025 and the event was well organized. ~ Grandstands: Most grandstands have a nice view especially the main grandstand (preferably upper section), grandstand B, and grandstand K. Be mindful of the shade as certain grandstands have no cover at all. ~ Access: You can rely on the train station. Yes, it will be congested after the race but it is considerably faster than the train system in other GPs, not to mention the ride takes an hour from city centre. ~ Fanzone: Plenty, including sessions with all the drivers.

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.

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.

Shanghai International Circuit for F1 race event. Consider taking the metro - “Shanghai Circuit” subway station on Line 11 as traffic to the circuit is narrow (1 way in and out) and very congested during these large events.

Very well built F1 track with huge grand stand and lots of facilities. If budget is a factor the best seats are at the K stand hairpin curve. I'd give it 5 stars if those were not occupied by the F1 race in Singapore.

Amazing place to enjoy the extreme speed of F1 racing car. You will have the most lively experience with the engine smoke smell, the noise and the wind. Enjoy the race!

Got the chance to come here for a VIP race in late 2016 and it was awesome. Got to head down to track level and eat some food with the racers. Wicked time. Headed up to the stands to see the beginning of the race and then when it started raining, headed inside to get warm. Awesome event!

Nigh view from the River. The Huangpu River is the lifeblood of Shanghai—both geographically and culturally. Stretching approximately 113 kilometers (70 miles), it divides the city into two iconic halves: Puxi (west of the river), the historic heart of Shanghai, and Pudong (east of the river), the modern financial hub. With a width ranging from 300 to 770 meters and an average depth of 9 meters, the river flows through 11 districts before merging with the Yangtze River at Wusong in Baoshan District . Historical Significance The Huangpu River has been central to Shanghai’s development since the Ming Dynasty. Formed in 1522, it became a vital artery for agriculture, irrigation, fishing, transportation, and flood control. Its strategic location turned Shanghai into a major port city, especially during the colonial era when foreign concessions were established along its banks . The river’s significance continued into the modern era, serving as a crucial shipping route and a source of drinking water for the city. Modern-Day Importance Today, the Huangpu River remains integral to Shanghai’s identity. It supplies approximately 40% of the city’s drinking water and continues to be a major shipping channel . The riverbanks have undergone significant revitalization, transforming former industrial zones into vibrant public spaces. Projects like the reconstruction of 22 kilometers of the east bank aim to create lively urban corridors that attract both locals and tourists . Cultural and Recreational Hub The Huangpu River is not just a functional waterway; it’s a cultural landmark. The Bund, located on the western bank, showcases a stunning array of colonial-era architecture, while the eastern bank in Pudong boasts futuristic skyscrapers like the Oriental Pearl Tower. River cruises offer panoramic views of these contrasting skylines, especially enchanting at night when the city lights reflect off the water. Additionally, the riverbanks host numerous festivals, art installations, and recreational activities, making it a dynamic space for community engagement. Environmental Efforts Recognizing the ecological importance of the Huangpu River, Shanghai has implemented measures to improve water quality and restore natural habitats. Efforts include reducing industrial discharges, enhancing sewage treatment, and promoting sustainable urban development along the riverbanks . In summary, the Huangpu River is more than a geographical feature; it’s a symbol of Shanghai’s past, present, and future. From its historical role in shaping the city’s growth to its current status as a center for culture and recreation, the river continues to be a defining element of Shanghai’s urban landscape.

Best go in the evening to enjoy the city lights from Shanghai buildings and also The Bund. Lights turn on at 6pm during winter. Also a good place for night photography.

The Huangpu River flows through the heart of city & divides Shanghai in older Puxi & newer Pudong area. River at near The Bund was popular tourist destination in Shanghai. East side was Pudong with modern high-rise skyscrapers along with iconic Pearl tower & 600-meter-high Shanghai tower whereas at north side was huge classical western buildings. River offered medium side cruise, especially during evening views from cruise deck was amazing.

This place is really beautiful at night. Went for the river cruise tour (About 100+ RMB i think). Can see shanghai oriental pearl tower here as well. Chill vibes. Relaxing river cruise. Would recommend for families.

Very-very Nice and Famous River in Shanghai... In the night you can use Cruise boat and look around ... it's second time i come here,,,Insha Allah will come again..

River with long 97km in china. It is very beautiful in night with led on along the river. Must stay here once in Shanghai.

Evening cruise is just awesome out here

Very cute area. Great architecture, small shops everywhere. Cafes and restaurants! Also fairly shaded place when it gets hot. Heads up, it gets crowded

A district in Shanghai with a French vibe. There is a European vibe

Great area for admiring the architecture

Xintiandi is the upscale end of the French Concession, the better end is arounf Dongping and Yueyang Lu, lovely architecture and neighbourhood most times you can forget your in CHina by the Number of Expats that live here

There are so many shops and restaurants to pick and choose from.

Now is commercial shops in heritage buildings

(Translated by Google) Small alleys, lots of small shops for souvenirs and many small food stalls, restaurants and bars. (Original) Kleine Gassen, sehr viele kleine Läden für Souvenirs und viele kleine Essenstände, Restaurants und Bars.

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.

Visited in December last year Free for all Booked thru Shanghai museum mini app on wechat..Pick the time slot you want Weekend available slot only about two weeks later. Bring your passport along Beautiful relics.

I went in the wrong side. Managed a quick visit of 30min. Some nice showcase of Chinese history Good to spend 1hr there

The part of the meusem in people's square is now much easier to access with no ticket required since 1st September.

To enter is free. There’s limited display. However it’s still highly recommended.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful classical Chinese garden in the middle of the city. Peaceful paths, ponds, bridges and stunning architecture. A must-see to understand old Shanghai’s charm. Go early to avoid crowds.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Amazing skyline with the old Shanghai bund & new shanghai skyscrapers across the bund. Super crowded with tourist & photographers offering photo taking services. Place is very safe with policemen station everywhere.

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.

Iconic Shanghai landmark. Stunning skyline on one side, colonial architecture on the other. Daytime is great, but nighttime views are world-class. A must-visit for every traveler.

Small alleyways full of people. Nice variety of shops. Farmhouse style cuisines. Need to take train and bus.

Line 16 of Metro and bus 1068, get off at Pailou Rd (W) on Xinfeng Highway. Enjoyable time with lots of food, people are friendly, living their normal lives when tourists passing by

Nice place to walk for the day, lots of local delicacies.

Very beautiful place. Beautiful hearted people over there who smiles always. And helpful. Cheaper than Shanghai City. Many things available here to purchase in low price. Can tempt taste buds with different Chinese food. Old Chinese houses with shop outside and pet cats. Tunnel water gives amazing look. One should visit this Ancient town.

Beautiful old town where many Chinese people enjoy a Sunday out. Lots of local food shops.

I would visit at night time. The bridges are absolutely gorgeous with lights on

Nice place

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.

Shanghai World Financial Center, mixed-use skyscraper in Shanghai, China, that is one of the tallest buildings in the world. The tower is located in the Pudong district of the city, adjacent to the 88-story Jin Mao Tower. Designed by the American architectural firm of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates of New York City, it has 101 stories and reaches a height of 492 meters.

Vert nice building…best location…superb architecture engineering…shanghai……must visit

Elegant and upscale center. Also has some good restaurants including a halal Chinese one.

I'd like to express my gratitude to the attentive staff, especially the manager on the first floor, who kindly allowed us access to the bar on the 85th floor. My daughter, a Master's student at Suizhou, dreams of working here.

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.
