The 10 Best Architectural Buildings in Puxi (Downtown Shanghai), Shanghai Region
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.

Overall Ratings

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,

It's original name is Fukaisen Road, and the density of historic villas on Wukang Road is probably second to none in Shanghai. Those plane trees will tell you the legends of the celebrities in old Shanghai.

This Chinese Buddhist Temple hosts two jade Buddha statues imported from Burma, along with many other cultural relics. It is a peaceful refuge from the modern bustle of Shanghai, where monks may be seen and heard conducting Buddhist ceremonies.

Found in the middle of Shanghai, you'll need to check the times for when it's open to make sure you don't turn up and have to go back like i did the first time; when I came back the next day I was able to get in but the place was packed with people. There were film cameras and the whole area was filled, so much that it was difficult to move around; they were all here to watch footage of real monks chanting inside their temple. Once the ceremony ended people starting moving around and I was able to explore, plus I was able to see real monks in their robes with their shaved heads. In one of the building sat three large golden Buddha statues (you'll notice swastikas on them, don't be alarmed its a buddhist symbol here). People often give food to the statues, or burn incense sticks in large braziers with huge flames plus there are statues of other gods like the gods of Hinduism or ancient China. The best part is the Jade Buddha statue that the temple is named after, a life sized statue with pearl white skin laying on its side with a smile, striking a pose.

In looking for a Tea House, we encounter this gem where we had a true Tea House experience. They had 2 ladies playing folkloric instruments and singing. It was our first stop in Shanghai, and amazing welcome to China with this scene. We selected our teas, and when the waiter came she brought the tea plus some typical snacks such as boiled quail eggs, and some sweets. We had a great time trying all those new things. And the table we were add had a view of the Yu garden. It's totally worth stopping by this historical place

Tian Zi Fang is the quintessential tourist heaven for souvenir-hunting shopaholic. Its intertwined narrow pathways are filled with numerous adorable shops, with each specializing in diverse variety of products. Though this attraction is not as vast in space as Yuyuan, the quality of souvenirs is not any inferior. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to purchase magnets of unique design, distinctive from Yuyuan’s one. I happened to chance upon a Taiwanese food store named Super Fries selling long fried potatoes fries with different toppings. As a French Fries lover, I quickly bought one packet to try, only to realise that this was the worst French Fries I had ever tasted in my whole life. I forced myself to finish the entire packet. It neither has the potato flavour nor did it taste crispy, but it was just extremely bland. Do note that there is limited food selling within this attraction site. For vegetarians visiting Tian Zi Fang, there is a nearby vegetarian restaurant named Super Vegan restaurant selling authentic Chinese cuisine. This restaurant is located at a shopping mall next to Dapuqiao station, which is the nearest train station to Tian Zi Fang. If you are here for shopping, do visit its nearby Buddha-glass-sculpture museum called Liuli China Museum, for some awe-inspiring aesthetics immersion, to perfect your trip for the day.

Originally this structure, across the street from the old power plant (both are architectural gems) this was the slaughterhouse through which all the meat that fed a growing Shanghai came to pass. Now it is a subdivided structure housing everything from restaurants and offices to the Ferrari Owners Club, as well as a Theatre where stage productions are staged on the top floor. Worth a visit.
