Second Yuyuan Garden (including Yuyuan Garden, Chenghuang Temple and Shanghai Old Street)
Yuyuan Garden is a famous classical garden in the south of the Yangtze River and a national key cultural relic protection unit. Yu Garden was founded in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, and it was built by Pan Yunduan, the envoy of Sichuan Province in Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 411 years. When the Shanghai Knife Club revolted in 1853, Dianchuntang in Yuyuan Garden was once the headquarters of the northern part of the rebel army. Now the weapons of the Knife Club, coins made by itself and cultural relics such as announcements are displayed in the hall. After liberation, the government carried out a large-scale renovation of Yu Garden, which was officially opened to the public in 1961.
Shanghai Town God Temple, adjacent to Yu Garden, also known as the Old Town God Temple, is one of the main Taoist temples of the orthodox school in Shanghai. It is located in Fangbang Middle Road, east to Anren Street, north to Fuyou Road and west to Old Jiaochang Road. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty (1413- 1424), the Jinshan Temple was rebuilt by Zhang Shouyue, a magistrate of a county. The Town God Temple in history has been destroyed and built repeatedly, and the present Town God Temple was built in 1926. During the Anti-Japanese War, China merchants built another new town God Temple in the concession (located at the west intersection of Jinling Road, Lianyun Road, which has now been converted into a multi-storey residence), so the Town God Temple was called the Old Town God Temple. Renovation began in 1995, and it received believers and tourists. The main entrance is four pillars and three doors. There are eight immortals on the cornice archway and a pair of stone lions beside the door. The hall is covered with green tiles and bamboo eaves, and it is splendid and full of incense.
Shanghai Old Street, formerly known as Fangbang Middle Road, starts from Henan South Road in the west and reaches Renmin Road in the east, with a total length of 825m. It is located in Yuyuan Commercial Tourism Zone. The architectural style and business layout from west to east show the historical and cultural evolution of old Shanghai from Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China until the influx of western culture. The commercial operation of the whole street is dominated by traditional characteristic industries, highlighting traditional folk culture and creating a Shanghai-style cultural atmosphere.
The old street in Shanghai is divided into two parts, the east part is decorated and reconstructed, and the residential features in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China are preserved. On both sides of the old street, lattice windows, door panels, Fan railings, floor-to-ceiling rocker doors, etc. are restored, together with cornices on the roof, lace dripping and horse head walls. The facade of the house in the west section imitates the buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties, highlighting the folk customs of the old city of Shanghai, with white tiles and red cornices. The century-old shops such as Tong Hanchun, Lao Tongsheng, Wu Liangcai, Wan Youquan, Qiu Tianbao, Lao Shanghai Teahouse, Deshun Wine Restaurant, Chunfeng Deyilou, Xishi Tofu House, Madame Ting Buzhuang, Rongshun Pavilion and Boyintang have been reproduced, and shops with traditional characteristics such as Danfeng Teahouse and famous medical hall have been opened.

Dongtai Road Antique Market, in the domestic antique industry, almost no one doesn't know about it, and there is even a saying that "there is a Liulichang in the north (Beijing) and Dongtai Road in the south (Shanghai)". Dongtai Road Antique Market and Beijing Liulichang set each other off in the north and south, forming the two largest professional antique markets in China.
Walking into the antique market, I saw 125 small antique shops with their own characteristics lined up neatly along the road more than 211 meters long. All kinds of antique handicrafts were displayed, with ceramics, bronzes, tin wares, jade articles, bamboo wares, woodwork, Four Treasures of the Study, calligraphy and painting as the main characters, as well as birdcages, costumes, coins, moon cards in the 1931s, electric fans and so on. Known as "strange, special, strange and rare", you can find all kinds of antique handicrafts that you can't find in other markets. Therefore, in recent years, Chinese and foreign antique collectors who are traveling, sightseeing and shopping in Dongtai Road Antique Market have come one after another, forming a new market landscape.

Longhua Temple, located in Longhua Town, Xuhui District, is the oldest and largest ancient temple in Shanghai. Legend has it that Sun Quan, the king of Wu, was built by his mother in the Three Kingdoms period, with a history of more than 1,711 years. However, according to literature, the temple was built in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the third year of the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 1164), it was given the "Empty Temple", and the remains of this temple monument still exist. In the second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1574), it was given the name "Grand Xingguo Wanshou Cihua Temple", but the original name of Longhua Temple was still used. After the rise and fall, this temple was rebuilt one after another during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. There are scriptures, gold seals and Buddha statues in the temple during the Tang, Five Dynasties, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Longhua Temple is majestic and magnificent, and the Buddha statue is solemn and dignified. The Buddha statues here are different in two ways. First, Longhua Temple is a Maitreya Dojo with two Maitreya statues. The Temple of the King of Heaven offers a bodhisattva statue of Maitreya, while Maitreya offers an avatar statue, commonly known as the "cloth bag monk", and the second is the Hall of Great Heroes. On both sides of the main hall of other temples, there are either "eighteen arhats" that promote Buddhism or "twenty heavens" that protect Buddhism; In the main hall of Longhua Temple, Lohan and the gods gathered together. There are bell and drum towers on the east and west sides of the Tianwang Temple in Longhua Temple. The "Longhua Night Bell" was one of the "Eight Scenes of Shanghai City" in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Since 1991, the activity of hitting Longhua Night Bell in Longhua Temple to welcome the new year has attracted many Chinese and foreign tourists, and this activity has been designated as one of the national tourism projects by the National Tourism Administration.

Shanghai Jiaotong University, a Nanyang public school located in Xujiahui, Shanghai, has remained unchanged for more than a hundred years, which is an unexpected miracle. The immobility of this campus is undoubtedly an extremely rich historical heritage. It is precisely because of the immobility of this space that the cultural and historical traditions of Shanghai Jiaotong University can be continuously interpreted and accumulated, so that we can always receive the historical information silently conveyed by the old buildings, and later students can intuitively understand the unique spirit of Jiaotong University.
Liusheshan area (including East-West Sheshan Garden and Yuehu Park)
Sheshan area has a long religious history and splendid culture. It is a collection of Catholicism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Taoism, and it has been a Catholic holy place in Southeast Asia for more than 111 years.

Between Sheshan Mountain and Sheshan Mountain, there is a Taoist Tower built in the Northern Song Dynasty, with a seven-level octagon and a brick and wood structure, which is beautiful in appearance.
In the spring of the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi (1721), Kangxi gave Sheshan the title of "Lansun Mountain", wrote a tablet in person, and ordered two imperial envoys to send it to Sheshan. On March 11th of this year, a grand ceremony was held in Xuanmiao Buddha Hall. Since then, Sheshan has also been called "Lansun Mountain".
tianmashan is located 11 kilometers southwest of Sheshan and 11 kilometers away from Songjiang District. Tianmashan was called Ganshan in ancient times, and it is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the dry generals of the State of Wu cast swords here, hence the name. Tianmashan has a steep mountain, the ridge line of which is close to the east-west direction, and the mountain shape is like a flying horse, which is now called tianmashan.

Tianmashan has a long history and rich humanities. In the old days, it was a Buddhist resort with many temples in the Vatican Palace. Every March, the first day and the fifteenth day in the spring, pilgrims climb mountains to make pilgrimages, and the incense is extremely prosperous, so tianmashan is also called "incense burning mountain".
