Things to do in Shanghai, Shanghai Region: The Best Sights & Landmarks
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 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.

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.
