Top 10 Museums in Former French Concession, 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.

Liuli China Museum is one of the main highlights of my Shanghai Travel trip. As a liuli glass art lover, I could appreciate the quality of the craftsmanship and thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this quintessential museum. There is an entrance fee of RMB 50 per person, and though it might be costly for the size of exhibition and quantity of exhibits, one would be absolutely awe-struck by the impressive and highly aesthetically appealing art work. About half of the art work focuses on Buddha glass statues, and it was nostalgic to witness Chinese Buddhist sutras being crafted on the Buddha glass art. There were also bits of history on the originator of these artefacts printed on the walls. The souvenir stall at the ground floor sells only high-end exorbitant mini glass art work and various displays. There is a lack of cheap and affordable souvenirs to purchase, probably photographs of the exhibitions could be the only memento! There were little patrons on our day of visit, which proved to be a good thing as the museum is rather tiny (only 2 floors and probably maximum 20 exhibits in total). The entrance ticket comes in the form of a paper wristband. I would highly recommend this museum for all Liuli glass art lover or devout Buddhists! Do note that this museum could be reached via Dapuqiao train station, and you might visit Tian Zi Fang which is located just next to this museum for a shopping spree before/after this museum. There is a nearby vegetarian restaurant named Super Vegan restaurant selling authentic Chinese cuisine around the train station too.

At less than $AU5 admission to this museum was excellent value. We learnt a lot about this era of Chinese history and the part Sun-Yat-Sen played in it from the English descriptions on all of the exhibits. The Museum and House were well maintained and contained many interesting artefacts. The site was not at all crowded during our visit. Well worth a visit if you are in Shanghai

Despite its modern name, the architecture has a long history. It was reconstructed from the Hongying Library in 1933. The library was founded by patriots, sponsored by Ye Hongying, with a collection of 150,000 books, esp. newspapers. The art museum is free to the public on the welfare purpose to show people its spirit of "contemporary, Shanghai, talents, and classical".
