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.
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.

If Xujiahui Origin is the record of Shanghai history, the commercial circle is the frontier of the Shanghai fashion. As the integration of restaurants, culture, entertainment, leisure and shopping, it is the most important CBD center.

Catholicism was introduced by Xu Guangqi and his friend in 1607, and Xujiahui was selected as the center of religion. As the first church in Western style, St.lgnatius Cathedral had been completed for 6 years since 1904, with a capacity of over 3000 people. Its gothic double spires echo the twin towers on Grand Gateway, which has attracted people a lot.
We walked here from Xujiahui metro station. Took us about 10 mins. This church is also known as St Ignatius Cathedral. Quite big and beautiful. Unfortunately there was no mass when we visited. On the left side of the cathedral is a grotto with Mother Mary's statue.
