Shanghai Propaganda Poster Art Centre

Reviewed By Athamese - San Francisco, United States

As others have written, this place has recently moved. Google Maps had it listed under its old location (in the basement of some apartment complex) but that's not right anymore. The address listed here is correct. No photos allowed in the museum, sadly, but it's well worth a visit. The posters all have translations of the captions into English (some in French, too) and many of them also have a few paragraphs of interpretation and context. My experience is that Chinese people use the word "propaganda" unironically and without any hint of negativity that English-speakers usually do. Looking at these posters, some of which I'd seen in books before, I was amazed at how quotidian some of them are, and how powerful and striking others were as well. I certainly appreciated the view into a part of Chinese history that gets represented through a particular lens in US education. I also appreciated looking at what is openly labeled propaganda, and how that made me think about what we see in the US that is not so openly labeled propaganda (but is obviously and clearly analogous). Take the time to visit this museum. It's got a great little gift shop where I bought far too many postcards, and they have a nice collection of books and even original copies of Mao's little red book in multiple languages. They also have posters of varying sizes for sale.

All across the world, many significant places lay all across all continents, and in Macau, there lays the best place in the world of entertainment, dining, and working pleasures. I went to the City Of Dreams, which includes the Vr, which is a place of entertainment with the pleasure of car driving games, virtual roller coasters, and thrilling yet scary drives through a glacial arctic forest. If you wanted to eat something delicious, there has a cafe where you can enjoy called Pearl Dragon, Chinese traditional foods are to eat and desserts of the finest material is made there, too. I recommend you to there, for it had such significant memories.

Shanghai International Glasses Mall

Reviewed By CareyPearson - Berlin, Germany

I had a fantastic experience yesterday at Lucy's Glasses shop at the Everbrite International Glasses Mall. I read about Lucy's shop on Tripadvisor and the reviews did not disappoint! Lucy has an amazing range of options, from brand names to simple frames to suit any style and budget. Her team really took the time to look at my references and helped me pick two great options that suited the kind of lens I needed and my face. The eye test was great, and there are different lens qualities and thicknesses to select from - which makes it easy for you to work your new glasses purchase into your budget. English is no problem, service was quick, professional and I am so happy with the quality of my glasses. Cant recommend Lucy and her shop enough! Lucy's store is located on the first Floor - Store 1003.
