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.

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.

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.
It is a very old temple of Buddha. People has great respect for the temple. It was rebuild during Northern Song dynasty AD 977. It has beautiful architecture.

A lovely old-style Chinese garden removed from the crowds of tourists in central Shanghai. Beautiful rockery, water features, flowers, grasses, tea houses. But the osmanthus trees and the songbirds are the real attractions. "Guilin" means "Osmanthus wood." The park has several species and over a hundred trees. When they flower in October (warm, sunny in Shanghai) the fragrance is overwhelming. Go then, if you can. Entrance 4RMB. From 6:30-9:00 every morning, admission is free to senior citizens. On a sunny day, in the courtyard in front of the teahouse, for the price of a cup of tea, old men sit chatting with their cages of songbirds. The clamor of their warbling melodies in this outdoor aviary drowns out human chatter and traffic noise. Mixed with the fragrance of the osmanthus, it is unforgettable. Diagonally across from the line 12 subway station of Guilin Lu, Exit 4. Recommended for open-minded travelers curious about real Chinese life.

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.
Soong Ching Ling as the second wife of Sun Yat-sen, one of the leaders of the 1911 revolution that established the Republic of China, she was often referred to as Madame Sun Yat-sen. She was a member of the Soong family and, together with her siblings, played a prominent role in China's politics prior to 1949.

We took the metro on line 3 and got off at Shilong Road station. Then it's another 5 min walk to the Botanical garden. The Shanghai Botanical Garden is hugh and is probably one of the largest botanical garden in China. There was a flower expo going on when we visited. Beautiful flowers in full bloom were everywhere. We spent at least half a day here. Advisable to bring a picnic basket, hat/umbrella and lots of water. Wear comfortable shoes. This is probably our favorite botanical garden in China.
