Places to Visit in Shanghai
Of course, as Shanghai is a "shopper's paradise" the street
to go to is Nanjing Road. With its many shops, it is by far the
number one place to go for shopping during the day or night, as it is brightly
lit. Another place to go is the Bund, otherwise known as the
Zongshan Lu, which is comprised of many buildings built during foreign
occupation of Shanghai (namely the English and French). Most of the
buildings are used for commercial or administrative purposes.
Designed by an official in 1559, the YuYuan Garden is a classical
garden with many scenic areas for visitors to enjoy. Located northwest
Shanghai is the Jade Buddha Temple. A monk, Huigien, brought
these statues to Shanghai from Burma and they were originally housed in a
temple built in northeast Shanghai, but it burned down and was rebuilt at its
current location.
The Shanghai Museum of Art is located in what used to be a
bank It is located in the eastern part of Shanghai and holds a large
collection of art ranging from paintings to architectural
artifacts.
