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.

Tian Zi Fang is the quintessential tourist heaven for souvenir-hunting shopaholic. Its intertwined narrow pathways are filled with numerous adorable shops, with each specializing in diverse variety of products. Though this attraction is not as vast in space as Yuyuan, the quality of souvenirs is not any inferior. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to purchase magnets of unique design, distinctive from Yuyuan’s one. I happened to chance upon a Taiwanese food store named Super Fries selling long fried potatoes fries with different toppings. As a French Fries lover, I quickly bought one packet to try, only to realise that this was the worst French Fries I had ever tasted in my whole life. I forced myself to finish the entire packet. It neither has the potato flavour nor did it taste crispy, but it was just extremely bland. Do note that there is limited food selling within this attraction site. For vegetarians visiting Tian Zi Fang, there is a nearby vegetarian restaurant named Super Vegan restaurant selling authentic Chinese cuisine. This restaurant is located at a shopping mall next to Dapuqiao station, which is the nearest train station to Tian Zi Fang. If you are here for shopping, do visit its nearby Buddha-glass-sculpture museum called Liuli China Museum, for some awe-inspiring aesthetics immersion, to perfect your trip for the day.

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.
