10 Sights & Landmarks in Xuhui That You Shouldn't Miss

May 22, 2021 Toi Mattera

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.

Riverside Promenade (Bingjiang Da Dao)

The riverside walk along the Bund may be busy and crowded during the day, but with good reason - it's simply a must when in Shanghai for people-watching and getting a good feel for the city.

The prefecture took the industrial roots of the city and transformed them into art, see both sides and try to imagine that once this metroplex was once a village and it grew exponentially as its importance as a port grew.

Longhua Temple

Built in the early Song Dynasty (960-1279), it is the oldest and largest temple in Shanghai. It is popularly believed that the temple gained its name Longhua from the legendary “Longhua” tree with branches extending some 20 kilometers, under which the Maitreya Buddha was enlightened.

Soong Ching-ling Memorial Residence

The Soong Ching-ling Memorial Residence in Shanghai is where Soong Ching-ling, or Madame Sun Yat-sen, lived for a long time and a major place she used to work on state affairs. Its main building was built in 1920 and owned by a Greek shipping magnate who built the dwelling in the shape of a ship, perhaps in honor of his adventurous shipping career.

Longhua Memorial Park of Revolutionary Martyrs

A modern-style memorial park integrating features of a memorial, tourist and cultural site, and garden architecture, the Longhua Memorial Park of Revolutionary Martyrs, with its name inscribed by Deng Xiaoping, has long been likened to the Yuhuatai Martyrs Memorial Park in Nanjing, another historically significant martyrs cemetery in China. Built on the former site of Kuomintang Wusong-Shanghai Garrison Command and where the Longhua revolutionary martyrs were executed, it was designated as a revolutionary martyrs memorial site under national protection following the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

Reviewed By Jo-AnnKYTan - Shanghai, China

This park is very educational. Love the park itself, the museum, cemetery and old prison. When we were there, we managed to catch a glimpse of soldiers marching and visitors bowing in honor of the heroes. This was done in front of the glass pyramid where wreaths were placed. Love the museum as there are English descriptions for everything. Take Line 11 to Longhua metro station to visit the park AND temple. They are next to each other. Very convenient.

If Xujiahui Origin is the record of Shanghai history, the commercial circle is the frontier of the Shanghai fashion. As the integration of restaurants, culture, entertainment, leisure and shopping, it is the most important CBD center.
