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.

We visited mid-week & off season. It was quiet, but all museums & sites were open. For the small entry fee of 50 RMB, we were able to enter all sites within the town. To enter the water town itself payment is not required. Payment maybe required for parking car, not sure though.. Numerous places to eat. Lovely & interesting photo-ops. A temple is accessible as well. The area was clean. Comfortable day trip out of Shanghai city-proper. Would avoid visiting during holidays or the weekend as we suspect very busy. Due to time of year, most shops were closed, but that was okay for us. Worth the visit. Worth the drive. Architecture noticeably different than previous water towns we have visited.
