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.

Delightfully spacious and well-lit aquarium filled with a great selection of Asian fish. The highlight is the impressive tunnels where you under the tanks and surrounded by fish.
I had left visiting the aquarium till the end of my visit to Shanghai, but I am glad I made the effort to go to it. The adult cost is 160 yuan which is about $24. There is a senior discount for 90 yuan if you show proof of age - I believe you gave to be 60. The aquarium is set on a number of floors and you move by escalator. The highlight of the visit is when you travel under the water through a clear tunnel allowing you to see a variety of sharks, manta rays and a variety of other sea creatures swimming overhead. This area has a moving walkway, so you are transported at a gentle pace. The water here is not river water but a mix of sea water and freshwater. There is something for everyone and, at the end of the tour there is a fast food restaurant if you feel the need for sustenance. A worthwhile visit!

Peace in the heart of the city: Greenery in the midst of Skyscrapers is complemented by water bodies, sculptures and cultural places. The place is well maintained, free from crowd, and is quiet & peaceful.
