Things to do in Shanghai, Shanghai Region: The Best Specialty Museums

May 22, 2021 Kaleigh Reichenbach

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.

China Art Museum

Reviewed By xenawang - Montreal, Canada

Entrance to this museum is free. However, the museum’s best attraction, the 清明上河图, costs 20 RMB. I showed my student ID (foreign student at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine) and got a 10 RMB discount. Do not miss this. It is a unique multimedia experience that brings the famous painting to life, with lights, sounds, and music. For those who haven’t heard of it, 清明上河图 is a depiction of life in the capital, Kaifeng, during the Song Dynasty around a thousand years ago. The rest of the museum showcases many works of art by Chinese artists: traditional Chinese paintings, oil paintings, sculptures, etc. The only downside is that all signs are in Chinese. The museum is housed in the China Pavilion from the World Expo 2010. Very impressive building, bigger than it looks. It’s located close to River Mall, which is great for grabbing a bite to eat.
