10 Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers in Shanghai Region That You Shouldn't Miss

May 22, 2021 Deane Carmody

Shanghai is the cool, confident face of modern China, and its energy is infectious. Go to the Bund to watch ships on the river and marvel at the huge variety of architectural styles on display, or watch the crowds go by in People’s Square. Shoppers should make a beeline for the Fabric Market, where you can have a suit or dress tailor-made for you at bargain prices. At night, explore all manner of fashionable restaurants, bars and nightclubs, or just stroll through the city enjoying the spectacular neon lights.

Jin Mao Tower

Reviewed By JochenHertweck - Frankfurt, Germany

When it opened in 1998 Jin Mao Tower used to dominate the Pudong skyline together with the Oriental Pearl Tower. These days it is overshadowed by the significantly taller Shanghai Tower and Shanghai World Financial Center. However, this should not deter you from visiting it. This stunning architectural masterpiece remains my second favorite observation deck in the city behind the one located at the top of Shanghai Tower. Unlike the neighbouring SWFC you can enjoy 360 degree views from the top and unlike the Oriental Pearl Tower there are usually no long queues to get in. The admission price is also more reasonable than at the other observation decks and in addition you get a dizzying view down the world’s tallest lobby.

Oriental Pearl Tower (Dongfang Mingzhu)

Speed to the top of the world’s third tallest TV and radio tower for a spectacular view, or just gaze at this beautiful structure from afar, especially striking when lit up at night.

Reviewed By MinuHyd - Hyderabad, India

This is indeed one of the nicest place to visit in Shanghai.Though this is not the tallest building in Shanghai,its really worth it.Its an amazing looking building and the views are awesome.The biggest highlight is the glass bottom viewing point..As many other places ,wifi is available in this attraction as well.However we had trouble reading the otp since it was in native language. Note:-Please mind that this is one of the most crowded places in Shangahi.The queues can get really big,and you might end up being in the line for a long time -The washrooms are not very well maintained and better to stay away unless its an emergency.

Shanghai Circus World

The Multimedia Theatrical Spectacular 'ERA Intersection of Time' has been performed since its debut at Shanghai Circus World in September 2005. It is unique and comparable to the tradition of the Broadway Musical.It is in fact a stunning acrobatic show combining traditional Chinese arts and modern technologies. The performers present Chinese acrobatics, martial arts and dance perfectly in harmony with the music, sound, lighting, and other special effects, which include a water screen.While you marvel at the highly proficient skills of the performers, the story of China's evolution from its ancient past to the future is told. Hence, the title 'Intersection of Time', as the viewpoint of the audience is set in the present between the past and the future.The performance provides a wonderful insight into China's ancient culture and civilization, with sections about Sinan, an ancient Chinese invention for telling directions, soothsaying and conjuring. There is a fantastic section showing an acrobatic program which has elements performed since the far off days of the Han Dynasty (206BC–220AD). With porcelain jars and vats as their stage properties the performers give an overview of Chinese porcelain culture and greater understand of the country's name of 'China'.Modern achievements that are also showcased include Shanghai Donghai Cross-Sea Bridge, Maglev Train, and Shenzhou 5, China's first manned space mission. From these, you can see the amazing development and bright future of Shanghai and the whole country.The 100-minute performance shows not only artistic skills, but also creativity. Aided by multimedia including vision, original live music, sound effects, smell effect, air conditioning and lighting,

Shanghai Circuit

Reviewed By deepknight - Shanghai, China

Almost every year in April, I come to the Shanghai International Circuit, home of The Chinese Grand Prix for the Shanghai race. I have no memory when was the first time for me but definitely it was after 2007. The 2018 race ended little over 24 hrs ago and it was one of the most exciting race, Shanghai has ever seen. Red Bull shocked Ferrari, Mercedes and everybody and won The Chinese Grand Prix for the second time (2009,2018) since 2004, almost a ten years gap. SIC is one of my most favorite place in Shanghai. It's located in Jiading, a Shanghai suburb (30 minutes subway ride by Metro Line 11). It has a capacity of more than 200,000 people and it was designed by famous German Engineer, Cercuit Designer and Racing Driver Hermann Tilke. I look forward to more visits to the Shanghai International Circuit in the coming months and years with my family.

ERA Acrobats

Reviewed By itchyfeet2014 - Glasgow, United Kingdom

We came here on the last night of our China tour with our group. Needless to say this was yet another fantastic highlight of our trip. The performance is held in a large circus type tent and is very atmospheric. The performance is very varied and of an incredible standard. We enjoyed every incredible moment and came out wondering how these amazing artists did it. Highly recommend.
