Shanghai is the cool, confident face of modern China, and its energy is infectious. Go to the Bund to watch ships on the river and marvel at the huge variety of architectural styles on display, or watch the crowds go by in People’s Square. Shoppers should make a beeline for the Fabric Market, where you can have a suit or dress tailor-made for you at bargain prices. At night, explore all manner of fashionable restaurants, bars and nightclubs, or just stroll through the city enjoying the spectacular neon lights.

The famouos Chinese writer Lu Xun, is buried in Hongkou Park.
Lu Xun Park has been developed since I was last there. It is very beautifully laid out and is very popular with local people especially the elderly. It houses both the museum and the grave of the hero of Chinese literature. He inspired me to read his works years ago - if you chose to do so, there are lots of online commentaries available to enhance understanding. As for the gardens - so nice a place to stroll. There is the museum also. A great tribute.

A modern-style memorial park integrating features of a memorial, tourist and cultural site, and garden architecture, the Longhua Memorial Park of Revolutionary Martyrs, with its name inscribed by Deng Xiaoping, has long been likened to the Yuhuatai Martyrs Memorial Park in Nanjing, another historically significant martyrs cemetery in China. Built on the former site of Kuomintang Wusong-Shanghai Garrison Command and where the Longhua revolutionary martyrs were executed, it was designated as a revolutionary martyrs memorial site under national protection following the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
This park is very educational. Love the park itself, the museum, cemetery and old prison. When we were there, we managed to catch a glimpse of soldiers marching and visitors bowing in honor of the heroes. This was done in front of the glass pyramid where wreaths were placed. Love the museum as there are English descriptions for everything. Take Line 11 to Longhua metro station to visit the park AND temple. They are next to each other. Very convenient.
