What to do and see in Hongkou, Shanghai Region: The Best Sights & Landmarks
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 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.

Originally this structure, across the street from the old power plant (both are architectural gems) this was the slaughterhouse through which all the meat that fed a growing Shanghai came to pass. Now it is a subdivided structure housing everything from restaurants and offices to the Ferrari Owners Club, as well as a Theatre where stage productions are staged on the top floor. Worth a visit.

Nice place to take a little stroll and look at statues of the Left Wing Writers of the '30s. There is also a statue of Charlie Chaplin. Little shops here and there. Also a building with multiple floors of 'old school' antique shops...dusty and crowded with this and that. With all the modernization of Shanghai this is a nice little quiet corner to hang out.
