10 Museums in Baoshan That You Shouldn't Miss

May 22, 2021 Concepcion Newsome

The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

Shanghai Museum of Glass Park

Reviewed By induway - San Francisco, United States

This museum is a very weird place. First of all, its location is in the middle of industrial Shanghai - near Bao Steel and nary a foreigner on the sidewalk, unlike the rest of Shanghai. It's almost at the end of subway line 1; so it's far away. But its beautiful. Industrial grey on the outside, but inside it's a cool, modern, art/science museum - it's what would result if NYC's MoMA had a child with SF's Exploratorium and decided to move to Brooklyn. Definitely that kind of industrial, cool, maker, modern, nerdy style. We shelled out extra for the Broken Glass exhibit - it's super edgy modern art, think Art Basel or Dia:Deacon. If you are not into that super abstract art/philosophy then you might not appreciate the very sparse exhibits. That being said, it makes for great IG pix. There is also a crazy, dark, maze next to the Broken Glass exhibit where you are in search of 8 emboss prints. It's a little dark, and a couple of little kids ran into the mirrored wall. There is weird modern Philip Glass music playing so it's a little eerie, but fun nonetheless. We also shelled out another 288 CNY for a glass fusing DIY - yes, it's expensive, but only in China do thy allow little kids to use blowtorches to make glass sculptures. For I think 388, you can do glass blowing (but you have to return in 24 hours to pick up your piece after it cools). There are also other buildings that have glass blowing performances and there are a few high end restaurants that look beautiful. I highly highly suggest this museum for a 2-3 hours trip (including DIY). Just a beautiful beautiful space and not a whole lot of people. Warning, though, since it is so far out of the mainstream area, it's hard to catch a taxi back. We took the bus, down four stops and took Line 1 back into city central.
