[Yu Garden]

It was originally the 1 private garden in the Ming Dynasty. It was built during the Jiajing and Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 450 years. Yu Garden covers an area of more than 30 acres, ranking first among the existing Shanghai 5 classical gardens, and is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction. A considerable number of ancient and famous trees, Ming and Qing furniture, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, clay sculpture brick carvings, forehead plaques and couplets and other cultural relics are preserved in the park, which embodies the essence of rich Chinese traditional culture and art.

s known as a pure land in the busy city. It is a temple that combines historical, cultural and religious significance, and is a good place for tourists to learn about Buddhist culture and feel peace of mind.

[The Bund]

Total length of about 1.5km. It was the starting point of the old Shanghai concession area and the whole modern city of Shanghai, witnessing the gradual development of Shanghai from a small fishing village into an international metropolis in the Far East.There are 52 classical revival buildings with different styles on the Bund. These buildings are mostly European Renaissance, Baroque, Gothic, neoclassical and other styles. They are known as the "Bund World Architecture Expo Group. These buildings are not only important landmarks of Shanghai, but also important historical sites and representative buildings in modern China.

[Shanghai Old Street]

Shanghai Old Street is located near the Huangpu River in Shanghai's Huangpu District. It traverses the former Old City of Shanghai and has a combination of tourist attractions, shops, entertainment, and cultural exhibits. The architecture and the layout of shops along Shanghai Old Street trace their heritage from the Ming Dynasty to the period when European influence made an impact on the city. The eastern section retains the characteristics of the residential area in the late years of the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Warlord Era, while the western section contains buildings built resembling Ming Dynasty architecture.

[Oriental Pearl TV Tour & Television Tower]

The Oriental Pearl Radio & Television Tower is arguably the most recognizable feature on Shanghai's skyline. Completed in 1994, it has come to symbolize China's modernization and emergence on the global scene. Visitors travel up and down the Oriental Pearl Tower in double-decker elevators that can hold up to fifty people. Located on the tower's lower levels is the Shanghai Municipal History Museum. Given its iconic status, this is certainly a can't-miss attraction.

[Huangpu River Cruise]

I highly recommend the Huangpu River cruise to anyone visiting Shanghai.It offers a remarkable opportunity to appreciate the city's exquisite architecture while enjoying a tranquil evening on the water.The skyline is truly breathtaking, particularly at night when the buildings are illuminated.Observing both the Bund and Pudong from the river presents a distinctive perspective. The west bank of the Huangpu River features renowned cosmopolitan structures along the Bund, whereas the east bank showcases the modern Lujiazui financial district.As night descends, lights illuminate both sides of the river, creating a stunning visual spectacle.
