It is just quintessential Shanghai. Lot of sights and sightseeings. Boat across the river. Big market street with world brand shops as well as souvenirs. Usually very VERY busy. Also old colonial architecture. Nice historical buildings.

Could be the most crowded and best shopping and sightseeing location in shanghai. All at walkable distance with access to subway train, ferries and buses. Great ambience and night view.

Absolutely beautiful place. Especially at night it is so pretty with all the lights. The view is spectacular. And there is such a diversity in architecture one cannot fathom it until you visit. At one side there are massive skyscrapers, at the others some gorgeous older buildings, and then a few blocks away there is a huge garden full of ancient chinese architecture. Then in another direction there is the longest shopping street in the world. 200/10 can only recommend visiting here.

Best time to see is night which gives amazing view of the skyscraper and lighting. Also walking around area gives mind relaxed by seeing the lighting

It is a very beautiful scenic spot and has a walkway along Shanghai's important river, the Huangpu River. Night river cruise The atmosphere is very good.

The famous waterfront and iconic symbol of Shanghai. However, it is super crowded on both weekdays and weekends. Highly recommend to go to one of the rooftop bars /restaurants nearby for less crowd and way better view.

Visiting The Bund in Shanghai is like stepping into a living postcard. The iconic waterfront offers a breathtaking juxtaposition of colonial-era buildings against the modern skyscraper skyline. Strolling along the promenade provides a sensory feast, with the Huangpu River adding a tranquil backdrop to the bustling city. It's a must-visit for an unforgettable glimpse into the heart of Shanghai's rich history and vibrant contemporary culture.

An amazing walk with one of the best views in Shanghai. Especially at night where the light show is better than fireworks. We enjoyed doing acrobatics with the best background. Anyone visiting Shanghai should go to the Bund at least once.

A true mesmerising experience. So many iconic skyline, blending historic architecture with modern skyscrapers, creates a stunning visual symphony. The vibrant energy along the waterfront, especially at night with the dazzling city lights, makes it a must-visit destination. The mix of culture, history, and the pulsating urban atmosphere left a lasting impression, making the Bund a highlight of my trip to Shanghai. Oriental pearl tower lighten in the night is great for the eyes. Do get clicked the pictures on the sweatshirts when you visit here. It’s worth it.

A great place to experience architecture from almost 100 years apart time periods No matter a cold and rainy day with low overcast or a sunny and warm day in the summer, the place is awesome

Great place and gram worthy! This was taken during our visit to Shanghai in 2019, pre-pandemic. Try the river cruise at night for that awesome shot!

This is must see place in Shanghai, so amazing view to Shanghai tallest towers and Pearly tower, a lot of people here at night!

The Bund in Shanghai is truly majestic, blending modern and classic architecture in a captivating way. Having seen it in Hong Kong drama series, I was thrilled to experience its real-life beauty, which surpassed my expectations. Visiting The Bund is a must to complete your Shanghai journey; it's a landmark that defines the city's allure. The stunning buildings and picturesque view along the riverfront make it an unforgettable destination.

It was beautiful and worth a visit we were there during the day, but at dusk we could see that it was probably lit up, it must be beautiful at night too

This is a popular site for both locals and visitors. It’s a stretch of the promenade on the side of Old Shanghai on the Huangpu River. It’s a a place to view skyscrapers of modern Shanghai. 😎😎😎 It’s crowded all day and night until late when the illuminating lights are switched off. It’s truly a magnificent vista of what Shanghai is now to the entire world.😎😎😎. The most noticeable of the towers is the Oriental Pearl. There’s also the Shanghai Tower, the 2nd tallest building in the world. And depending on where you’re on the viewing promenade, is the Jin Mao tower, which to me has some semblance (on the outside) of NYC’s Chrysler Building.

The bund Shanghai night view is perfectly nice and you may take the ferry for huangpu river tours.. Take note day time tour cost RMB 120 and after 6pm the cost will be RMB 150...

Everything is perfect here! The architectures is beautiful wait until night and the lights will turned on and it will be more beautiful, shops and restaurants are plentiful many to choose from. I guess if you want to watch the light show here is the perfect place for it.

A must visit tourist site to see when visiting shanghai. Amazing historical building line the river with great views of the modern CBD of Pudong across the river including the pearl tower. Excellent wide path along the river for photos. Nanjing road shopping district just off the path.

Probably the most famous site of Shanghai, the bund should be on anyone’s list of places to visit in this bustling metropolis. Highly recommended to come during day and night as the atmosphere changes drastically. Be aware though that it can get very crowded.

Great tourist attraction. Very pleasant to access when you walk down the Pedestrian Street with lots of touristy stuff and eating places on the side. The lights on the buildings are done really well.

Amazing beautiful view at night. A good and relaxing stroll during daytime. There were penty of policemen on the ground, especially at night, making us feel safe.

Something you can’t miss in Shanghai - the magical night view of the famous and historical architecture of the Bund. It was super crowded on the second day of the Lunar New Year, but traffic control was on point and safe. Looking to the Lujiazui side across the Huangpu Rover tells you the modernisation of the city of Shanghai transforming into one of the most important financial centres of the East. The night light of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower explain why Shanghai is called the “Capital of Magic” or “Enchanting City”. Turn around, the historical architecture view of Zhongshan Road will impress you and leave a mind lasting picture.

Beautiful classical Chinese garden, at the old city of Shanghai was built in sixteen centuries by Ming Dynasty. It was spread on two hector of land & had lot of pavilions, halls, stages, ponds, arch bridges & stone works. Big white dragon walls had big greyish black dragons on the top. A huge porous jade stone weighing five tons was on display. Beautiful Koi carps were in the ponds. A lot of tourists were enjoying the classical Chinese garden & were busy taking pictures. A must visit place while at Shanghai.

We passed by during day time to see what itbwas like during the day, and came back a little bit late to see the magnificence of the area at night. If you think it was pretty in the daylight, it is most definitely magnificent at night. We were just in awe of the beautiful sight. Definitely a must visit.

歴史ある建物、庭園が残されており外国人が思い描く The中国 を感じられる場所です。ロケーションは、東方明珠電視塔、上海タワーと川を挟んだ反対側に位置します。このエリアは観光スポットが点在しているので訪れる人で賑わっています。園内には軽食を楽しめる店が多くあり、休憩することができますよ! あなたの観光ルートに加える事をオススメします。。 (Translated by Google) It is a place where you can feel the China that foreigners envision with its historical buildings and gardens. The location is located across the river from the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Shanghai Tower. This area is full of visitors because there are many sightseeing spots. There are many shops in the park where you can enjoy light meals, so you can take a break! I recommend adding it to your sightseeing route. .

Yu Garden is a peaceful haven in the heart of Shanghai. Its intricate design, serene ponds, and lush greenery offer a mesmerizing retreat from the city's hustle and bustle. Exploring its winding pathways is a delightful journey, and the adjacent marketplace adds to its charm. A must-visit for anyone seeking tranquility amidst urban chaos.

In the heart of Shanghai’s Old City is Yu Garden, Shanghai’s most beautiful Chinese garden.It was built in the 16th century, under the Ming Dynasty, by a Sichuan court official, following the tradition of Chinese gardens.It symbolizes the world in miniature, indeed, rivers here are streams and mountains of rocks, and place man in harmony with this world.

Traditional Chinese garden around the city, lots of old Chinese vibes and antique buildings making it perfect for a evening walk. Various types of flowers, bonsai’s and flowering trees can be seen. Metro station is just beside the garden. Shopping street flooded with lots of products outside the garden. Enjoy :)

Yu Garden is a mesmerizing oasis that transports visitors to ancient China. The meticulously designed gardens, with their stunning architecture and serene ponds, create a tranquil atmosphere. The intricate rockeries and traditional pavilions evoke a sense of timeless beauty. Exploring the garden is a delightful experience that captures the essence of Chinese aesthetics and culture.

Authenticity at its best in Old Shanghai Town. Yu Garden of Shanghai send you back in time for 500 years ago. You can breath the real air off an middle age Chinese Dynasty. A genuine traditional built heritage, very special maintain by the authorities. Do not miss this opportunity to find a treasure of the mankind in this magical place called Yu Garden!

Definitely a must-see while in Shanghai! Can easily spend up to 2 hours here. You need to know your passport number to purchase a ticket, so make sure you have that ready. Short walk from the metro. Great shopping nearby.

Beautiful must see spot for every visitor coming to Shanghai. Showing off the beautifully restored buildings built in the Qing and Ming era, these buildings have been painstaking and carefully preserved to show their off the authentic Chinese architecture. Each corner is a picture postcard worthy shot. Very short distance from most major downtown hotels and the metro is just on the doorstep. Lots of dining options here including refined restaurants and tea houses and budget street food options. You can get tourist souvenirs from the myriad of small shops and malls in the area. The buildings light up after 530pm giving a different feel of the area. Gets busy in the evenings, weekends and public holidays. Plan ahead for your visit as road closures around the area are frequent for crowd control. 😀

Beautiful Chineese garden. A must visit when in Shanghai

Yu Yuan garden is a tourist spot in Shanghai. It allows you to see the old style buildings that you might imagine China to look like. It has lots of ornate rooftops, little shops selling knick knacks and it is a nice photo spot. Night time is better

Beautiful lights and lots of food choices. Get ready for crowds during holidays, but otherwise easy to walk through.

As the tourist we must visit the most popular place in that country… this place its one of the most popular place to visit when we go to Shanghai… there is a lot of Food Stall and many Store selling the Souvenirs… and we go there on 29 December 2018 at night… because we want to see the lighting from this garden… and its pretty…

Great touristy place to check out food and souvenirs for the family. Gets crowded, so be prepared and be careful of the hustlers there. It's fun place. Not sure if you can get many vegetarian options for food, but you could try. I didn't want to waste my energy explaining. Definately a visit once. (It gets monotonous after 45minutes..😜)

Beautiful place to visit with lots of greenery, flowers. A great place for taking Beautiful photos. Students under 17 free entry, show passport or student identification as proof. For adults, please bring passport in order to buy entrance tickets. They are very strict on security hence passport is a sure way to buy tickets successfully. Be prepared to get your bags checked by security personnel too. Yu Garden surroundings have many shops selling local delicacies, souvenirs and eateries.

Pretty awesome place overall. They have a bit of tourist town built up around it but I appreciate how they went out of their way to make sure that the architectural style matched that of the gardens. The gardens themselves are very beautiful and well worth the entry price. It can get flooded with people but luckily I went on a weekday. In fact, I think everything in China should be visited on a weekday! Otherwise you will end up with too many people in your shots.

Hey there! Are you planning to visit Shanghai anytime soon? If so, you must be looking for some amazing pasalubong to bring back home. Well, you're in luck! I've got some great suggestions for authentic and unique souvenirs that will make your loved ones back home very happy. Would you like to know more?

Absolute must-see for any tourist in Shanghai. The garden itself was originally built in 1559 by a Ming dynasty architect. They where bigger than I expected and one can easily spend 1 hour walking around. We also enjoyed the more modern shopping areas surrounding the garden, built to match its style.

Went to Yu Garden right before the autumn festival, it was all decorated with autumn theme. Like the architecture and surrounding. There are several food and souvenir shops to buy authentic Chinese stuff. Souvenirs are way too expensive, I can literally get same stuff for cheaper price at Amazon. No ticket is required if you are visiting Yu Garden, it’s only required if you are interested in going inside what it looked like a temple.

It's a decent place to spend an hour. Quite crowded though as tourists and students alike all come in mass. There were 4 floors but only 2 open exhibits on the 4th floor, 1 open on the 3rd floor, and 1 open on the 1st floor. And the amount of people made it difficult to see an entire exhibit.

Great place to visit if you like history and culture. I really enjoyed the museum. The entrance is free and it's also located in a beautiful park. You will feel every bit of history has they have carefully collected and kept each piece.

Big pot shaped building just at the side of famous Peoples Square of Shanghai had enormous collections depicting Chinese history. The building architect was inspired by the priceless big circular tripod pot with two ears bronze vessels called Da Ke Ding from Zhou dynasty (1046-771 BC). Inside of the building looked glistening with granites, marbles & art works. A lot of rooms were exhibiting various periods of Chinese cultures & arts. Basically, it was a modern world class museum in ancient style building showing historical priceless Chinese cultural relics.

A treasure box of history with a very nice garden outside with parking space. Museum personnel outside were very patient and helpful to everybody. Very clean toilets. Very interesting Museum Shop.

A "MUST SEE" FOR VISITORS TO SHANGHAI The Museum is a very well curated collection of amazing items from China's long history. Its free and open every day except Monday. Tour guides will advise that a passport is needed for entry but we were able to enter with no ID at all. You can get a free (English) audio guide - for this you'll need to leave a 400 Yuan refundable deposit (or leave some ID such as drivers licence or ...yes.. your passport!) Its an oasis of cool and quiet and you can easily spend a few hours here marvelling at the age and beauty of the exhibits. Good printed guides in Chinese and English. Guided tours offered but with the audio guide I think you better off doing it yourself and spending time on the things that intrigue you the most. There is a good cafe inside (with good coffee!) and on each floor you will find a souvenir shop with some good (easily packed) treasures to take home :) There is security screening on entry. This museum will not present any problems for people with mobility issues as it has level floors and lifts and escalators. Nearest Metro train station is People's Square (a fair walk just the same which can be tiring in the hot, sticky weather).

This museum gathers traditional and modern Chinese art and culture. The rare cultural pieces are from different decades and centuries. You will not have to pay for entrance. But if you will you can pay for an audio guide for your visit. Inside the building, the combination use of granite, marble and artwork is really inspiring. The museum has a collection of over 120,000 pieces. It has 11 galleries and 3 special temporary exhibition halls. It took me 3 hours to visit. Hopefully, it was not crowded.

Be aware , Monday is holiday in most visiting places so avoid any plans. But, these area are best mentioned and will mesmerise you fullest to core on its view and maintainance. Do explore best flowinring dring season and never miss a opportunity here to visit if you are in shanghaim

Great museum. I gave only 4 stats, just because it is very hard to reserve entrance ticket for weekend. The ticket is free, but you need to reserve it via museum website. You will need Chinese telephone number for that. They open slots in week before, but all slots for Saturday and Sunday are immediately reserved. I visited this museum twice. My second visit was not so successful: only several halls were open, others were closed for renewing. Very often there is a special exposition on the ground floor, and it could be not free.

It captures the shanghai story in the 1900。some of the artifacts are colorful。other stories relate to the rise of the communist party。the building is huge and provides some quiet time one to think about our past，terrible effects of war。FREE entry

This museum is the largest we have visited in Shanghai so far. We spent a whole day there. It has four stories, with entire wings dedicated to chinese bronze, jade, calligraphy, money, ceramics, furniture and Chinese paintings. The most fun part is its gift shop. It has replicas of the exhibits available to purchase (vases, beautiful tea cups, paintings, even bronze containers) if you can afford it.

The Shanghai Museum is a cultural treasure trove. Its vast collection of artifacts, including ancient ceramics, calligraphy, and exquisite artworks, offers a captivating glimpse into China's rich history. The museum's modern architecture and well-curated exhibits make it a must-visit destination for art and history enthusiasts. A journey through time and culture.

If you don't speak Chinese, I don't recommend trying to gain entrance without a Chinese speaking friend. Entrance is free but you need a reservation to get in. If you just front up to the museum without a reservation you'll need to find the little kiosk near the exit of the gift shop. Here the person will check your passports and give you an entrance time, but they only release a few times every 30 minutes or so (at least that's how it seemed to work). Once you get past that it's pretty straightforward getting in. Our visit was in winter so some of the exhibits were closed for refurbishing. On the plus side that means it wasn't too crowded.

Most galleries were closed when we visited on 13 Jan 24, but still worth a visit. Need to reserve tickets for weekends, which are free. However, you do need a local phone number to reserve. We just tried our luck and a kind young man told us to wait for a while, before helping us to book tickets during the next entrance time. Exhibitions were well spaced, can't complain since it's all free!

03 march 2024. The observatory deck was closed! So we went to the Shanghai tower.

As an architect who grew up admiring many of the world's tallest towers, getting to see this amazing tower in person was a dream come true. Save your money for the Shanghai tower viewing deck. If you want to go visit the SWFC, there are bars inside on really high levels. I would really recommend that. I had a few beers with a colleague up there and it was incredible.

Great views and an amazing glass walkway where you can see below you. If you are nervous about heights the glass may scare you but this is an amazing experience and was not busy when we went in June.

Worth it even with bad smog. It's the standard tourist trap inside, but amazing views.

We have been to many observatories and this has been one of our favorite. Sheer glass and modernity from the futuristic elevator to the all glass deck that you can see below and beyond. Best to visit at dusk and stop by the cafe until evening to catch two views for the price of one.

A beautiful place to place in shanghai to see the city from above. We chose to go during the evening because we wanted to see the lights. During the day I could be nice as well. Tickets can be purchased online which I highly recommend.

Unfortunately the view wasn't clear when I visited, but I would still recommend the experience. The elevator alone was pretty impressive to me. And it's crazy to think about how high it is. It wasn't on my original plan to come here, but I'm really glad I did.

Spectacular view! Make sure you go during good weather. It's very pretty during sunset too. They do have a great student discount if you ask. Also, definitely worth doing the 97F+100F pass.

I traveled to China for work and I have wonderful memories, friendly and helpful people. The food is particular for the European taste but I liked it ... if you go don't miss the DUMPLING ... I always go back willingly.

101 floor supertall skyscraper. Last floors open to public for visit. Ticket is about 30$ CAD for the last floor visit. Great place to take selfies with the background of Shanghai downtown skyscrapers and the Huangpu river. The last floor has glass floors which will give you an exciting view of the street and the bottom floor through the hollow architecture.

The Huangpu River is located in the lower Changjiang branch, in the inner city of Shanghai. Old name is Hoang Pho, also another name is Hoang Yet Pho, or Xuan Than River. This name is based on the rumor that, in the past, in order to serve the national war that So Xuan Than Quan - Hoang Yet had cleared and dredged the river.

Cruising this river is quite amazing. Best architecture in the world.

Incredible views of Shanghai buildings. Take a river cruise at night to enjoy the light show of dozens of buildings beautifully illuminated. Definitely a must while visiting Shanghai.

The Huangpu River flows through the heart of city & divides Shanghai in older Puxi & newer Pudong area. River at near The Bund was popular tourist destination in Shanghai. East side was Pudong with modern high-rise skyscrapers along with iconic Pearl tower & 600-meter-high Shanghai tower whereas at north side was huge classical western buildings. River offered medium side cruise, especially during evening views from cruise deck was amazing.

This place is really beautiful at night. Went for the river cruise tour (About 100+ RMB i think). Can see shanghai oriental pearl tower here as well. Chill vibes. Relaxing river cruise. Would recommend for families.

Very-very Nice and Famous River in Shanghai... In the night you can use Cruise boat and look around ... it's second time i come here,,,Insha Allah will come again..

Arriving Shanghai Port

River with long 97km in china. It is very beautiful in night with led on along the river. Must stay here once in Shanghai.

Evening cruise is just awesome out here

You do not have to be a kid or have kids to enjoy Disneyland. Great park and great rides. The pirates of Caribbean 4D ride is one of its kind and only at this Disneyland… i was completely blown away by it. Food options are very limited, especially if you’re vegetarian! Otherwise a great experience and must visit.

This is amazing. First time been here, it was a great experience. Despite the weather, it was also a good time spending there alone, watching people having fun and lots of characters from Disney world. The most memorable is you can line up to take photos with them and having conversations with them as well. Recommend!!

Beautiful and distinct Disney park. There are many little touches that are great, but there are also a lot of rides too dependent on projections. There is also far too much attention given to the recent live action remakes over the original content. Zootopia land is pretty great!

A place where dreams come true. Disney outdid themselves yet again. People who regularly visit the American parks might be a little disappointed at the smaller offering here, but for two Australians we were absolutely blown away. Every land within the park has a unique atmosphere and character, the character actors are so much fun to interact with, and the food is incredible! We found it easy to navigate even with no understanding of Chinese. Ride highlights for us were Tron, Soaring, and the Rapids. Unfortunately for us, Pirates was closed on our visit.

We had a wonderful time. The park is smaller than some other Disney parks but it is loads of fun! We especially enjoyed Tron and the parades, food, as well as hotels are top notch! Plan in advance and if you are a foreigner you need to bring your passport! A favorite is Pirates of the Caribbean ride! It is better than others I have been to at other Disneyland parks, make sure to check it out!

This was our last Disneyland in Asia and the experience wasn’t magical at all. It was too hot to stay outdoor and it was during students holiday so the park was packed with families and children. Because of that the queue was VERY VERY LONG (200 hours for famous ride). And the people.. I’m not trying to be racist or what here but they are not great. I never see any Disney that people try to cut the queue ALL THE TIME. Every corner you turn, they will try to walk pass you so we had to block every turn. They would stand very very near you to the point that you can feel their breathing behind your neck or hear the sound of them chewing gummy bear. On the other hand, the staffs here are amazing with handling things like that. If they see people cut line they would shout right away and escort them out no matter how deep the queue they got. And if you inform them that someone cut your queue they would take it very seriously as well, no further questions asked. They would go directly to that person and asked a few question and those people probably aren’t a good liar so they got chase out of the line. Overall, Big park, great rides, the merchandises are cheap and wide selection, worst timing to be here, people aren’t great, the staffs have to be strict so the park becomes not so magical. 6/10. Will i comeback? maybe. but not this season or holiday anymore for sure.

First time here & it was awesome! I spent two days. First day I focused on shows & parades and whatever rides I could squeeze in before opening or that had short lines. The second day I paid for the Premier Pass & got on all the rides I didn’t do done! Totally worth it! It was hot & humid so be prepared! Castle is huge! Must go inside! Pirates of the Caribbean - WOW! Had to do it twice! After the fireworks I ran over to do it again as my last ride of the night! No line! Treasure Cove & all their Pirate Ships & decor were on point! Also, Shanghai is the only other Park that has a Club 33 😉

I booked the ticket online the night before, and I was able to easily pay with a foreign (non-Chinese) travel card. The tickets were then linked to my passports, so it is very important to remember to take your passport with you as this is now your entry ticket. I visited on a weekday in mid February, and arrived just before opening time. Entry was quick and easy (including bag inspections). A lot of the rides were walk-on with minimal wait times during the morning. It became a bit busier in the afternoon, but was still very manageable. The Park was beautiful, clean and easy to navigate. That was amazing. First time been there, it was a great experience. Despite the weather, it was also a good time spent there alone, watching people having fun and lots of characters from Disney world. The most memorable was you can line up to take photos with them and have conversations with them as well. My ticket included a free meal and drink, which was great value. I chose spaghetti and meatballs, which was huge and filled me up for the day. The menu prices seemed quite reasonable, especially for a Disney park. I bought the PhotoPass, and had some issues trying to get it to work/download, but the staff in the photo shop were amazingly patient and helpful in getting it to finally work. It was a magical place, it makes you feel like a kid again, no matter how old you are. I loved it. I was disappointed to discover Pirates of the Caribbean was closed, but it's a great excuse to revisit in the future!

This Disney park has also more to offer for adults than the usual Disneys. During covid-19 times, it is open but required to register and buy ticket in advance. I recommend to buy ticket at least 2-3 days in advance, otherwise it will all be booked, especially on weekends. You cannot buy ticket there, unless there are some free spaces, chances are very low. Also, recommend to download the local Disney app. It has all the maps and information. Since the amount of guests is limited, no need to buy fast lane pass and waiting times are very short compared to usual. The attractions are interactive, but most of them in Chinese only. However you can still understand the context. Don‘t miss the parade (afternoon) and fireworks in the evening! The coolest thing is the park to climb - you can chose the level you want, there are 3 levels from very easy to very hard. You have to leave your stuff in a cabinet you get and you will be secured so there is no risk to fall down. Also, the food there is very tasty and the prices are ok. You can buy very cute Mickey Mouse ice cream or pretzel and pop corn (mostly sweet). The staff there is very friendly and speaks good English. Cool spots to take photos. Very good experience.

For solo traveler, half day trip. Try these 3 and thanks me later. 1.Tron. 2.Pirates of the Caribbean. 3.Soring over the horizon Plus their famous Ice-Cream. Good enough to handle your time to Airport at 10:00 pm departure flight🫰🏻

One of my favourite amusement parks. Very nice, everything looks amazing and the staff does everything they can to help you. Their Pirates of the Caribbean ride is definitely the best there is

A massive amazing park. Expect large queues, but you won’t be disappointed once you're in. Amazing Summer Blast show, and plenty of street parades. Well worth staying late for the fireworks as well

Highly recommend to buy tickets in advance and bring your IDs with you to retrieve your tickets at entrance. We arrived on a rainy weekday so there were not many people and all the rides required 10 minutes or less waiting time. All the rides and shows were delivered in Mandarin (Putonghua). We did not dine inside but most food items were quite expensive and not really that attractive. Free water machines are available across the park.

Wonderful experience. Shorter queue compare to all other disneyland. Probably due to China has not started school holiday yet. The food in the park was okay... You probably get better food at the shopping area. Where u need to reenter the park subsequently.

I was very impressed with the Shanghai Disneyland Park, and my family had a great time there. Highlights for me were the Tron, the Rapids, and Pirates of the Caribbean rides, which we all absolutely loved. The parades and fireworks at the end of the day were also fabulous. For our older kids, I felt there weren't as many big rides as the Paris resort, but there was plenty to see and do. We visited on a Friday, and I had a lot of anxiety about our pre-purchased tickets and getting entry to the park. However, it turned out to be quite a smooth process, and I wouldn't have been concerned if the communication was better. Although I had the tickets on the park app, they only seemed to need my passport number to see our tickets. FYI you need to bring your physical passport with you. You definitely need to have the app downloaded; as well as providing a map of the Park with your GPS location, it provides information on all the ride status's and times which is really useful. It also has a timetable of all the events, but the timings were definitely off, so we missed the start of the parade. The park was busier than I expected for an off-peak week day in October, but queue times were acceptable. We queued for about an hour for big rides like Tron, but got very lucky with some of the other rides, queuing for maybe 30 minutes or less. A couple of rides had queue times exceeding 2 hours for the entire day, so we chose not to queue for them. The food at the park is expensive, and you'll need WeChat or Ali Pay to purchase them in most cases. I think I only used cash for smaller purchases like drinks and ice creams. The toilets are well maintained and clean, but as a warning, they use a lot of the "squat toilets" on the ground, which was interesting... When we visited, there were a lot of "influencers" there. They are dressed in costumes, normally a Disney princess, and have photographers following them around. They are literally everywhere, but they do highlight some good photo opportunities. They also don't seem to go on the rides! Leaving the park, you may be wise to leave at least 30-60 minutes before the park closes. Everyone will suddenly leave at once, and the volume of people is staggering. We decided to get a taxi back to the hotel because it was so busy, and it was surprisingly efficient and fast to do so. Google translate and a card for your hotel address is advisable, as none of them spoke English. I would definitely visit again.

The Tron ride was amazing and worth the money. We came in Nov and weather was pretty chilly. The walk from carpark to the Disneyland entrance was pretty far though and a lot of unnecessary windy queues to go through. Overall still a 5 star for me.

It’s fun and one of the newest Disneyland in the world. Rides like Tron and Pirates of Caribbean are fun and should give it a try. Book tickets in advance is highly advised to save time.

Very nice Disney land, it is huge, a lot of games. Good for families and kids. The restaurants are limited (especially for foreigners) Many ice cream shops Also there are many gift shops In general, I would come again. But you need to prepare yourself and your family for a long, exhausted day. There's some hotels I think if you want to stay more than a day, The good thing is that the airport is located (20-30 min) from Disney Land Park. Highly recommend 👌

Very enjoyable place, the characters are less popular kind, e.g Disney princess, etc. but it has Dufy and friends, toys story etc. I spent 2 days one night here. Beware!!! - in the park and outside the park, there are people touting discounted Disney products and says that they received from some lucky draw and they are trying to sell it away. Don’t believe them, it’s a good fake product.

If you are in Shanghai and have half a day to spare, an ideal destination will be Zhujiajiao 朱家角. As in other water towns, there are many bridges here. Fangsheng 放生(Release into Freedom) with its 5 round arches being the most prominent. There are folks peddling small fish🐟, tortoise 🐢 to visitors to be released into the waterways. Then there are others in small boats nearby ready to scoop them up for resale, how ironic. Well, just enjoy the scenery, boat ride and food in this ancient town.

Great experience! The town is culturally enriching as the vendors live behind or above their shop. Families work together and it’s a tight knot community. Some owners even have microphones to get you to visit, it’s very interesting. They have shops that cook fresh fish, crab and even turtle for you - literally you pick the one you want. I wasn’t a fan of this, but it’s culturally acceptable so it was interesting to look at. Not sure on pricing because I didn’t opt into this.... Need Weechat to purchase most things, cash is accepted at some places as well. Restrooms are difficult to find, be sure to go when you enter.

A must visit place if you are in Shanghai. Awesome water town with amazing eateries, shops and people.

Amazing place, but it can be very crowded. Recommend visiting outside of the worst tourist season.

Beautiful little water town with lots of history. Expect to do a lot of walking as the streets are a bit of a maze and lots of little stalls to stop at. Great for lots of local foods at a relatively low price (given it is a tourist location). There are paid attractions but the town itself is free to enter. I particularly enjoyed the soy sauce market/shop which sold many local marinated/pickled goods. Getting to zhujiajiao from shanghai city was relatively simple, albeit a significantly long journey. We too the mtro line 2 from nanjing road to hongqiao airport station, then switched to line 17 to zhujiajiao station. Metro fare was ¥8 one way for an adult. Be reminded that bags need to go through scanning for metros, so leave sharp objects at home. Going into the town, there is the option to hail a ride, rent a bike, or buy a boat ticket. The little boat is 20 min long, ¥40 per person and will take you directly to the middle of the water town, so while pricey, i thought it was worth it. You can send a postcard to yourself at the post office here (they offer international postage), and also visit some temples dating back to the ming/qing dynasty. The night view is spectacular along the river, but the streets will be pitch dark (little to no street lights). Store owners are very friendly and will happily guide you to the metro station if asked. A bit of a walk back to the station (maybe 15 min at a brisk walk) but not too bad. This was one of my favourite tourist spots during my stay in shanghai, so if you like old style buildings/environments, i highly recommend taking the journey here.

Just what you wanted to see when you decided to visit a historical part of China and not going too far away from Shanghai. Most people take the metro to come here, but instead I got a taxi from Didi app (Chinese Uber) and saved both time and my legs (specially on the way back after a few hours walking) and just relaxed on my way back to Shanghai. You will find lots of shops, tea houses, temples, bridges, gondolas and people, lots of people. Very enjoyable short trip , a perfect place for photos, street food, souvenirs and a glimpse of what life was like in ancient China.

A small beautiful ancient Chinese village at outskirt of Shanghai, settled at the bank or Caogang river & rivulets. Many older looking Chinese houses were lined at both side of river & transportation was by boat. A lot of stone arch bridges crossed the walkway for pedestrians. Many traditional Chinese shops, restaurants & emerging modern western restaurants were there. We were delighted to see a store selling dried snakes, sea horses, scorpions & various fishes. Pig legs, chicken feet, whole baby chicken, whole pork thigh etc. in different soya sauce were on display for sale. Also called Venice of Shanghai was a good place to visit.

Very nice scenery. So refreshing with the nature. Recommend to visit around sunset the view on the old bridge really beautiful. Not too crowded on weekdays.

if you have already seen all the touristy spots in shanghai like nanjing east road, the bund and the oriental pearl tower, it wont be a bad choice to visit this place small, old and quiet town with few shops and restaurants along the street most of the shops seem to be closed due to covid. it's still quite empty here

Easily accessible from Shanghai metro line 17, this ancient water town is a must go for those travelling to Shanghai who love historical places.

Yes, it s for tourists (domestic and international) but intent is to show how many products are made, so food is freshly prepared and delicious. Pleasant stroll around when not too crowded!

Beautiful old town, we enjoyed the scenery but the place is not ideal for wheelchairs

Small village with charming atmosphere of old buildings, channels and bridges. Tourists can taste local food, buy souvenirs and travel along channels on Chinese-styled boats. There is a metro station nearby.

It's worth visiting even just for the view from the highest observation deck in the world. The tower is gorgeous from a distance and even more so a ground level looking up. There is an introduction to the tower on the lower level after going through the admission area - don't rush it, there is a lot of information to appreciate and you'll be glad to learn some of it. The elevator ride to the observation deck is super fast. The observation deck is huge - it is a complete 360 degree view of the city with enormous, crystal clear windows and a fresh interior design. The kids were not scared at all looking out the windows from so high up, they were excited looking down on some of the other super-tall buildings nearby and trying to see people cars on the ground below. The view is incredible. On the way out there is a big gift store with some terrific souvenir items of both the Tower and Shanghai in general.A wonderful virtually birds-eye view from Shanghai Tower. Entrance price is a lot cheaper than the Shard. A good experience of modern China and Shanghai. A lovely designed skyscraper. I would recommend.Unforgettable experience! Even though this is the second highest building of the world, and I have been to the world’s highest in Dubai, the Shanghai Tower is so different. The views are mindblowing! Just next to you you have the Pearl tower, the ‘bottle opener’ which seem rather small when you are in the Shanghai Tower. The elevator is also considered as world’s fastest and you are just being catapulted to the top. The price is definitely worth it! Funny experience, they take a picture of you with a background at the ground floor saying you will get a free picture upstairs. The picture you get for free is just without a background, quite silly. With the background you need to buy at a high price.

Amazing skyscraper. There were a lot of people there, we waited around 1 hour 30 minutes to get in. We pre ordered tickets online. The Oriental Pearl, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Jim Mao are all visible from the tower. The elevator is very fast, it isn't dizzy but you will feel your ears popping. There are 3 elevators that go up and 1 that goes down.

Awesome view from top.. much visit places if you are going to Shanghai and do visit on the top floor it gives such a or some bird eye view of the whole city. Most enjoyable part gonna be the lift it goes so fast to the top .. make sure you have water bottle with you, water is really expensive up on the top

Good place to experience from both marvel of Engineeing and Architecture as well as the opportunity to get a bird’s eye view of the city. Visited the tower twice - you have the ability to get really high up in the sky and via the observation deck get a 360 degrees view of the city. The only issue is the last time we visited the windows were somehow dusty and the views were obstructed… nevertheless a impressive experience

Located in the heart of the city, The Shanghai Tower is an example of modern architectural marvel and anyone visiting Shanghai should visit this place for sure. the tower offers visitors breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding skyline from its observation deck on the 118th and 119th floor. You can reserve a table for the restaurant which is on the same floor offering Western & Chinese cuisine. Overall a great experience. Enjoy :)

A mix of offices and shops. Very popular observatory tower but skip that and head to Level52 to the book store! Free of charge entry and a cafe available to grab a drink to admire the view! Its abit confusing to locate the lifts but walk towards the office side and look for the lift operating to level52 only. Right outside the building is the famous spot where all the hip people are trying to take photos of all 3 tall buildings in a single shot.

Its an awesome experience to be on worlds second largest building and with fasted elevator in the world. Amazing view from 118 and 119 floor. It took only 55 seconds to reach on 118th flr. Best time to visit will in evening as you will clear city light view. You can book at counter at Shanghai Tower at 180 RMB. Please carry your passport for booking..

The Shanghai Tower, a stunning addition to the city's iconic skyline, stands as a testament to modern engineering and architectural innovation. Soaring majestically to a height of 632 meters, it is the tallest skyscraper in China and the second-tallest globally. The tower's sleek, twisting design not only catches the eye but also serves a purpose – reducing wind loads and enhancing structural stability. Ascending the tower reveals a world-class observatory on the 118th to 121st floors, providing unparalleled 360-degree views of Shanghai. The futuristic interior design, coupled with high-speed elevators, ensures a seamless and memorable experience for visitors. Beyond its striking appearance and tourist appeal, the Shanghai Tower is a model of sustainable architecture. From its double-layered glass facade for insulation to wind turbines generating renewable energy, the tower is a pioneer in eco-friendly building practices. This commitment to sustainability aligns with Shanghai's broader efforts to address environmental challenges. Functionally, the tower is a vertical city, housing offices, hotels, and retail spaces. Its adaptability and flexibility reflect the evolving nature of urban development, making it not just a landmark but a dynamic hub within the city. In conclusion, the Shanghai Tower is more than a skyscraper; it's a symbol of China's forward-thinking approach to urban development, blending architectural excellence, sustainability, and functionality in one awe-inspiring structure that defines Shanghai's progressive spirit.

Shanghai Tower is a 128-story, 632-meter-tall (2,073 ft) megatall skyscraper in Lujiazui, Pudong, Shanghai.[10] It is the tallest building in China and the world's third-tallest building by height to architectural top. It shares the record (along with the Ping An Finance Center) of having the world's highest observation deck within a building or structure at 562 m.[11] It had the world's second-fastest elevators at a top speed of 20.5 meters per second (74 km/h; 46 mph) until 2017,[12][13] when it was surpassed by the Guangzhou CTF Finance Center, with its top speed of 21 meters per second (76 km/h; 47 mph).[14] Designed by international design firm Gensler and owned by the Shanghai Municipal Government,[2] it is the tallest of the world's first triple-adjacent supertall buildings in Pudong, the other two being the Jin Mao Tower and the Shanghai World Financial Center. Its tiered construction, designed for high energy efficiency, provides nine separate zones divided between office, retail and leisure use.

Very beautiful place, there was little to no line to get in on a Sunday afternoon. The observation deck is the highest in the world, so you will be even higher than the Burj Khalifa here. You can also see the engineering marvel that is the mass damper setup at the top. There's also a couple gift shops with some premium souvenirs. Wish I had picked up one. The only thing that will dampen the experience here is if you visit on a hazy day when the visibility is not that good. Try to go on a good day.

The Shanghai Tower stands as an awe-inspiring testament to architectural innovation and urban design, serving as a beacon of Shanghai's modernity and ambition. This iconic skyscraper redefines what's possible in vertical architecture, offering an unparalleled experience that captivates both the eye and the imagination. Rising majestically above the city, the tower's twisting and tapering form is a visual spectacle that sets it apart from its contemporaries. The architectural brilliance lies not only in its unique shape but also in the cutting-edge sustainable features that have earned it LEED Platinum certification. The observation deck on the upper floors provides an unmatched panoramic view of Shanghai's sprawling cityscape, a testament to human achievement and urban dynamism. The feeling of being suspended in the sky, surrounded by the shimmering lights of the city, is an experience that leaves an indelible mark. Inside, the tower seamlessly blends functionality with aesthetics. Its innovative double-skin façade enhances energy efficiency, while the atriums and open spaces foster a sense of community amidst the towering heights. The tower's mixed-use concept, featuring offices, retail spaces, and even a luxury hotel, showcases a harmonious integration of different functions. The Shanghai Tower isn't just a marvel of engineering and design; it embodies Shanghai's status as a global economic powerhouse and a cultural melting pot. Its towering presence is a reminder of humanity's ability to shape the environment and redefine skylines. Whether viewed from afar or experienced up close, the Shanghai Tower is a symbol of aspiration, creativity, and the limitless possibilities of architectural ingenuity.

Amazing view from the first floor that we can visit but so disappointed by the sculpture at the top of the building ! We thought that we could see the view from there so we bought the most expensive tickets. Then, we had to wait 30 min before being allowed to take the elevator to go back to the beautiful view ..

If you want to see both Pudong and Hongqiao in Shanghai you should visit here! I visited during sunset and it’s spectacular though the crowds are insane too!!! You can barely take a nice photo of yourself with good background of Shanghai but when you do you can capture a nice picture and a memory of Shanghai! This place is one of the highlight when I traveled in China, it’s highly recommendable! 💕🤩

Amazing view from the observation deck even it was really hot there. Really fast elevator, up to 65km/h, that's insane. Worth every penny! Especially for sunset!!!

Great experience! Try to arrive 30 minutes before the sunset to get views with sunlight, at sunset and night time. Check the weather as it can be foggy at times before coming. No need to prebook, just buy tickets upon entry and no waiting line, just a quick security check. The observation deck is on the 118th floor and then you can walk up the stairs to the 119th. Definitely worth visiting the Damper lights show on the 126th floor.

This is not only the tallest tower in Shanghai but also the second tallest in the world. You can get the experience of being on the highest observation deck in the world with 360 view. For standard (CNY 180) ticket you can go to 118th floor. And with other ticket (CNY 268) you can go up to 125th floor and they have a light show and explain the building damper and how the building withstands strong winds. 125th is not an observation floor. And you can experience the world's fastest elevator ride as a bonus..

Tallest tower in Shanghai. We took ticket for the highest floor which is 126 known as sky but it was only a laser show which was not worth the experience. Better go for only the 118 floor which has the best sunset and skyline views. Also the lift was pretty fast.

Amazing city views. Seeing the laser light show that shines on the sculpture on top of the tuned mass damper was well worth the extra fee. Very enjoyable!

The highest tower of Shanghai! Looks very impressive from the bottom and going to the observatory desk, especially at night it’s really worth it compared to observatory of other big cities. The views from the top by night are really impressive!

A wonderful place to visit. Full of great energy and peace. The place definitely worth a visit.

I visited the Jade Buddha Temple in May of 2016 via public transport. It was relatively easy to get to, you just have to pay attention to the signage. The temple itself is beautiful and I was lucky to visit when the monks were in meditation so I sat on a walkway and just listened. It was a lovely experience. Things to note: The do offer a vegetarian buffet and there is a small shop.

Very beautiful buddha temple. Praying culture are little different from india. Really big god statues we can see. Nice temple. Very peacful and devotional. Must visit temple if you are in shanghai.

A place of peace amidst a huge city The pearl of orient, Shanghái. At the entrance of the temple you will see a huge drum to one side and a bell in the other this are played in turns at dawn and in special celebration days. When walking on the pagoda which has seven stories overlooks Shanghai and offers the visitors an opportunity to enjoy a privileged sight of the modern city from an ancient building. Behind you will see a building where still monks live and shelter. Surrounding the pagoda halls and small temples are place to worship the deities and to give a place for contemplation and prayer. At the entrance you may find thousands of inciense sticks lit by the Buddhist visitors to worship and thank the graces given. The remarkable buildings are garnished with golden colours roofs to remind you about being in a sacred place. The detailed and exquisite adorns of the buildings will remain in your memories as they were meant to be when the artisans and builders planned them. A must visit all the way.

Experience is awesome. 20 rmd is a fee but you will feel the peace which is out of the world. Must visit for buddha lovers

Perfect place in the middle of the noise of the city. Like a break from the city and in time. Very quiet and very beautiful. The people are very friendly. Really worth the hype.

Lots of idols. Different kinds. Each person worshipping a different idol. There was the reclining buddha which was interesting. It was difficult to understand why people were prostrating to all the man made idols and praying to them. The architecture was absolutely fabulous. The engravings quite sophisticated.

The Jade statue is a masterpiece (no pictures allowed), Tickets are 20RMB, dont need to pay extra to see the Jade Buddha. And you dont need to take of your shoes off to enter temples (i saw someone who did)

A beautiful Mahayana Temple with very beautiful Chinese architecture. There is an entrance fee which costs RMB20. A very relaxing and serene place to contemplate about life. There is no ramp and as such it is a little inconvenient for wheelchairs users as well as children traveling on strollers.

Dated to 1882 and first opened at 1928, the Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai offers a nice walk through shrines and and Buddha statues. People still comes here for worship their gods and you can join them by trying throwing a coin through a narrow crack in the shrine or copy Chinese letters to calm your nerves and to achieve balance :)

Very nice temple. And it was free. Take the line 7 to come there.

Peaceful working temple, really worth visiting to sit and take in the restfulness

Visited Oct 2015 The Jade Buddha Temple was founded in 1882 with two jade Buddha statues imported to Shanghai from Myanmar by sea. These were a sitting Buddha (1.95 meters tall, 3 tons), and a smaller reclining Buddha representing the Buddha's death. The temple now also contains a much larger reclining Buddha made of marble, donated from Singapore. Would be great visit if there was not so much else to see - but enjoyable none the less.

Great place, filled with spirituality. Really recommended for a quiet break from the chaotic city Some troubles with ticket payment at the cashier, easily solved with the nearby ATM.

Serene and calming experience. There were plenty of tourists and worshippers there. It was nice to just sit in the main area and take in the environment. Short walk from the metro. No entrance fee. Almost none of the signs are in English so that was a challenge. Would have been nice to have a guide of some sort.

Beautiful temple complex that is newly renovated, there is an amazing noodle soup restaurant inside the place!

Interesting Buddhism temple with several statues of Buddha, including jade statue. Entrance is free.

This was the first stop of our private tour. Definitely a “must” to visit. We could have spent more time but still need to visit other places. Glad this was part of our itinerary!

A temple that with lots of commercial shops on its premises. Entrance fee is 50 yuan per adult, have to pay in cash. Opens from 7.30am to 5pm daily. Lots of visitors and tourists. Temple itself is majestic due to the gold paint. Otherwise, this place is too busy for to practise. Lots of monks performing rites for the departed ones. Good place to visit if you are in the city area. Would prefer to visit more peaceful temples like Longhua Temple or Jade Buddha Temple, where the locals go.

Jing'an Temple is a breathtaking and peaceful Buddhist temple that I had the pleasure of visiting during my trip to Shanghai last December. It's a stunning Buddhist temple that I highly recommend visiting. Just be aware that the entrance fee is CNY 50, which I personally found to be a bit too much compared to other tourist attractions in Shanghai. Apart from that, it's definitely worth a visit for its beauty and cultural sights.

Beautiful Buddhist temple in downtown Shanghai. The buildings and grounds are really well kept and are a great place to step into away from the hustle of modern Shanghai. The ancient buildings make a stunning contract with the modern high rises of Shanghai. It is a working temple so be mindful that not only is it a place of worship but also a work space for the monks. Also some parts of the temple are closed off to tourists because of this. The temple is easily accessible by metro (Jing'An Temple station Line 2 or 7), taxi, bus or on foot.

Jing'an Temple is the temple of Peace and Tranquility. As it is famous, you will see lots of visitors around. So it might be a little noisy. The temple is located in Jing'an District, West Nanjing Road. The design of this temple is like other temples I visited in China. It is really beautiful to watch this temple with the background of the highrise buildings. It has many halls. You need to pay to enter this place. It has some commercial shops where you can buy some souvenirs from this temple if you like.

Fantastic temple that has also been modernized. Pretty much the crown of Shanghai as a location, even the busy and central metro station is named after it.

Jing'an Temple holds a special place in my heart every time I visit Shanghai. Despite the bustling atmosphere filled with devoted worshipers, the temple exudes a remarkable sense of reverence and spirituality. The vibrant energy surrounding the temple reflects the unwavering faith and belief in the power of prayers answered here. Jing'an Temple stands as a significant cultural and spiritual landmark, seamlessly blending tradition and contemporary life in Shanghai. The fusion of ancient architecture with the vibrant pulse of the city captures the essence of both the past and present. While the commercial aspects and the presence of vendors selling souvenirs were noticeable, they did not diminish the overall beauty and significance of Jing'an Temple. It merely served as a reminder of the temple's cultural and historical value. For those seeking a spiritual sanctuary amidst the liveliness of a vibrant neighborhood, Jing'an Temple is an absolute gem. Its rich Buddhist heritage offers a profound connection to Eastern spirituality. Visiting this temple provides a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in a space where tradition and belief harmoniously coexist with the pulse of modern Shanghai.

Jing'an Temple, located in the heart of Shanghai, offers tourists an escape from the city's modern chaos. This beautifully preserved Buddhist temple is a must-visit for travelers seeking ancient Chinese culture and architecture. Offering visitors several attractions to explore such as The temple's main hall with a Grand Buddha statue, A museum with ancient arts, Meditation hall, Gardens and a Lotus pond, Traditional shops and food as well. Make sure to add it to your Shanghai itinerary for a memorable experience. enjoy!

Jing'an temple is a beautiful place of worship in the middle of dense/ urban buildings. It is conveniently next to a lot of shopping areas. And also the best vegetarian buffet/ restaurant I've ever been to very nearby. The bakery has giant green tea and fruit breads, which smell and taste so fresh/ delicious. The food court at the bottom is also swell. I come here for prayers and I believe bell ringing many moons ago. Also once I arrived late and they still let me pray past the closing time. Highly recommend for Shanghai tourists!

Very big and grand! Tons of people. Alot of small eateries around too.

We haven't bought a ticket to go inside, a temple shouldn't sell ticket to tourist!

The temple is very nice with golden painting everywhere, tickets are relatively cheap, we went in the afternoon and it yeah was crowded but no wait times to get in. The temple is well kept and you can see monks performing rituals. No signs of description though to tell the history of any part inside the temple. With the modern expansions around the temple your horizon will always be interrupted by high rise buildings. I recommend visiting as part of a tour.

Lovely little temple steeped in history in the middle of bustling Shanghai city. Personally felt that entry fee of 50 RMB was a tad bit too pricey but I suppose you can expect to be ripped off at least alittle bit at most tourist traps anywhere in the world 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Very good Buddha temple, entry is charged 100 yuan.This temple also is unique because it has Ashoka Stambh (Pillars of Ashoka with 4 lions).

Jing'an Temple is one of the most famous temples in Shanghai. In 1983, it was put on the list of key national protection. The temple has a history of more than 780 years. First built in the Three Kingdoms Period (220-280), it was named Hudu Chongyuan Temple. In the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), it was moved to the present location from the bank of Wusong River and became a busy and crowded place until 1908; the first tramcar was built as Jing'an Temple for its starting station. Later, a famous calligrapher renamed it as Jing'an Temple in 1945 and is still named as such today. Unfortunately, the temple was burnt down to ruins in 1972. However, the reconstruction began after 1984, so the Hall of Heavenly Kings and the Three-Sage Hall were repaired in succession. In 1990, the whole temple was finally opened to the public. There were eight scenes in the former Jing'an Temple that previously enjoyed great popularity. Most of them are extinct but the Estavel (Yong Quan) which was in front of the temple was excavated in May 5th, 2009. The spring water gushed out day and night, so people called it 'boil well'. It was regarded as the 'Sixth Spring under Heaven'. After reconstruction, the spring was relocated at the crossing of Huashan Road and West Nanjing Road, and regained its former charm. There are three main halls here: The Mahavira Hall, the Hall of Heavenly Kings and the ThreeSage Hall. In Mahavira Hall, the biggest pure jade portrait of Sakyamuni in Mainland China is placed. The jade Buddha has a height of 3.78 meters (about 12 feet), a weight of 2.6 meters (about 9 feet) and a weight of 11,000 kilograms. It was so big that the wall was torn down when it was moved into the hall. With a kind and tranquil facial expression, the Buddha radiates venerability and auspiciousness. Jing'an Temple is a good place to escape the hustle and bustle of crowds in downtown Shanghai. In the meantime, you can enjoy the marvellous painting and calligraphy by Yangzhou's Eight Eccentric Painters in the Exhibition Hall of Buddhist Relics. An important display of this temple is the bronze bell which was made in the Ming Dynasy (1368-1644). Temple Fair is held here once a year. In the eighth year during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, Qing Dynasty, the first Festival of Buddha's Birthday was held on 8th day of Lunar April, villagers all came here to sell handcrafted goods, agricultural and sideline speciality products. The Temple Fair lasts three days and many people from near and far came to worship during the fair. Gradually, business in this district became prosperous. From then on, Temple Fair became a tradition, held annually on that day.

Beautiful temple. Easy to find and 2 mins from the train station. The mall next door has amazing coffee and cute stalls. The park across the road has squat toilets as the malls open at 11am. Lovely to walk around. Excellent views, spacious, so much to see. The QR code didn’t work to buy via Alipay so bought with cash instead. They were also selling moon cakes as it’s almost Mid Autumn Festival. There is a souvenir shop as well.

Very nice location. I love the tempels in China. They are very relaxing and nice. Just buy a ticket and go inside. You will love the peace and quiet location inside the temple. Especially inside this downtown area of the city. Just do it!

Impressive temple, with interesting architecture and ornaments, at least in the eyes of a foreigner like me. If you haven't already been to other Buddhist temples in Shanghai, I would recommend stopping by if you're in the area! Also, the ticket includes a cup of tea and a snack in the backside of the temple, which can be easy to miss.

The Jin Mao Tower, situated in the heart of Shanghai's Lujiazui financial district, is a masterful blend of architectural prowess and functional elegance. Soaring to a height of 421 meters, this skyscraper commands attention with its distinctive tiered design, reminiscent of ancient Chinese pagodas, yet infused with a modern aesthetic. Upon entering the tower, visitors are greeted by a grand atrium that spans several floors, adorned with intricate details and luxurious materials. The tower's interior seamlessly combines traditional Chinese design elements with contemporary touches, creating a sophisticated ambiance. Riding the express elevators to the observation deck on the 88th floor is a thrilling experience, offering panoramic views of the sprawling cityscape, the Huangpu River, and the neighboring skyscrapers. The architectural ingenuity is evident in the tower's structural design, incorporating advanced engineering to withstand earthquakes and typhoons common to the region. One of the Jin Mao Tower's unique features is its multi-functional nature. Housing a luxury hotel, offices, and observation decks, it serves as a microcosm of urban living, making it a symbol of Shanghai's economic and cultural dynamism. The tower's integration of sustainable practices further underscores its commitment to environmental responsibility. In summary, the Jin Mao Tower is more than a towering structure; it's a testament to architectural innovation, cultural fusion, and urban functionality. Its enduring appeal lies not only in its height but in its ability to seamlessly integrate tradition and modernity in the vibrant tapestry of Shanghai's skyline.

Very, very cool structure - similar to the Tapei 101 but smaller. The view down the centre of the building on the inside is quite something else!

You Will be shocked by those huge buildings arroud. Luxury hotels, markets, restaurants in this area which called Lujiazui in Shanghai.

Amazing view… reasonable price

This iconic skyscraper is a true gem in the city's skyline, and I highly recommend adding it to your itinerary. First and foremost, the views from the top are simply breathtaking. As you ascend to the observation deck, you'll be treated to panoramic vistas of Shanghai's sprawling metropolis. The sheer scale and density of the cityscape are mesmerizing, especially when viewed from such a remarkable height. The modern skyscrapers, historical landmarks, and the meandering Huangpu River create a mesmerizing tapestry that truly showcases Shanghai's vibrant energy. The architecture of the Jin Mao Tower itself is a masterpiece. The design seamlessly combines elements of traditional Chinese culture with contemporary aesthetics. Overall, the Jin Mao Tower is a must-see attraction in Shanghai. Whether you're a fan of architecture, a lover of impressive views, or simply looking to experience the city from a different perspective, this tower will not disappoint. I highly recommend allocating some time to explore this architectural marvel and soak in the awe-inspiring vistas it offers.

The tower itself and the view is nice. I have tried Skywalk experience, my third skywalk. Unfortunately, i was very disappointed about the service. Zero English and very unfriendly to foreigners (was in a Chinese group). It is very commercial, they care more about quantity than quality. However, you can take amazing pictures with spectacular views, which you can get in digital form for not too high price.

Jin Mao Tower is the 3rd tallest building in Shanghai. The building is located in the Pudong New area, where you can find it on the map as well. It is almost 1,380 feet tall. At the ground, floor tickets are sold. Every 30 minutes, 15 visitors are allowed to enter. So mind this time when you are going to schedule your daily trip. The elevator that reaches the top of this building is super fast (nearly 30 ft/s). It took us less than a minute to reach to 88th sightseeing floor from the ground floor. There is a service that is called: "wander in the cloud". That means that visitors can walk along a 60-meter-long and 1.2-meter-wide glass skywalk without rails. The weather was so polluted as you can see from the photo that I sent. So, the view was not clear. But it is really worth visiting this building.

Amazing views from the top of this 88-storey tower at 88 Century Avenue! Situated in Shanghai's new commercial district in "Pudong", this is still one of the world's tallest buildings and looks across to several of Shanghai's other skyscrapers.

Jia Mao Tower is the forth highest man made structure on in the Lujiazui Financial District, Shanghai. It is 421 meters high. The very design of the Jin Mao Tower make it spectacular to the viewers those who view it from the Shanghai bund. It is a 88 story building and it contains a shopping mall, offices and Grand Hyatt Shanghai Hotel.

Walking around the area is enough to get a good feel of the size of these man made structures. Instead of going up to any of the observation decks, consider spending the money to eat in a restaurant on a high floor. This area is worth a visit. Can arrive by subway or taxi. Clear days are best, but its also awesome to see the tower headed into a low cloud.
