- Zhujiajiao Ancient Town - Located just an hour from Shanghai, Zhujiajiao is a charming water town with a history spanning 1,700 years. It boasts 36 stone bridges and numerous rivers, with ancient buildings lining the riverbanks. The historic streets are bustling with shops and food vendors. Gondola rides along the canals are a popular activity. A visit to the Qing Dynasty Post Office and Yuanjin Buddhist Temple completes the experience.
- Shanghai Museum (Shanghai Bowuguan) - While not everyone is a fan of museums, the Shanghai Museum, established in 1952, offers a remarkable collection of jade, scripts, statues, and a wide array of bronze and porcelain artifacts. It’s an excellent way to delve into China’s history in a delightful setting.
- Shanghai Tower - Standing at 632 meters with 128 stories, the Shanghai Tower in Lujiazui is the second-tallest building in the world, following Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. It features the highest observation deck and the fastest elevators, reaching speeds of 74 km/hr, offering an incredible view and experience.
- Thames Town - Situated in Songjiang District, about 30 kilometers from central Shanghai, Thames Town is designed in the style of a classic British market town. It features cobbled streets, Victorian terraces, and corner shops, providing a taste of England just an hour from central Shanghai.
- Shanghai Chedun Film Park - Located in Chedun Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai, this is one of China’s top ten film-making bases. The park captures the urban style of old Shanghai, replicating landmarks from the 1930s-1940s, such as Nanjing Road and Shikumen Houses. Established in 1992 and expanded in 1998, it covers 800,000 square meters (nearly 198 acres).
- 1933 Old Millfun - Once the largest slaughterhouse in Shanghai, this unique complex of restaurants and shops is described by Atlas Obscura as “an eerie Gotham-Deco achievement in concrete, glass, and steel.” Its curved staircases, bridged walkways, and thick walls create a distinctive industrial atmosphere.
- 16 City of Coverings Market - Shanghai’s Fabric and Custom Tailor markets offer a challenging yet rewarding experience. From custom suits to handmade cashmere sweaters, there’s something for every style. It’s important to research to avoid less reputable places and plan to return in 1-4 days to collect your items.
- A.P. Plaza Yinyang Market - This maze of small shops is one of Shanghai’s few remaining markets for knock-off clothing, accessories, and souvenirs. Find brands like Nike, Levi, Beats, Gucci, and Rolex at a fraction of retail prices. Be ready to negotiate and shop wisely.
- Moller Residence - Located in the French Concession area, this colonial-era mansion was built by Eric Moller in 1936. Its unique design features Gothic and Tudor gables, spires, and steeples. Renovated to preserve its original style, it now houses a hotel and is perfect for afternoon tea and garden strolls.
