Shanghai is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city that welcomes people from all over the world to enjoy its special atmosphere. This modern metropolis with a long history of Chinese culture has a lot to see and do.
Fun places to see and do in Shanghai:
1. The Bund
For over a century, the Bund has been one of Shanghai's most famous symbols and prides. The architecture of the Bund is a living museum of 19th century colonial history. You have never been to Shanghai without seeing the Bund.
The best way to appreciate these buildings is to walk along the Bund. Strolling through the complex, you'll get a better idea of the city's centuries-old charm.
2. Waibaidu Bridge
When it comes to the Waibaidu Bridge, you may find it a bit confusing, but there's a nursery rhyme you'll know: "Shake, shake, shake, shake to Grandma's Bridge." Grandma's Bridge is pronounced "ngabhu" in Shanghainese, and with the addition of the bridge, the bridge has come to be known as the Waibaidu Bridge, which is the name of the bridge, according to a local man. Bai Zhuxi once wrote a poem here: "Lead me a cup and add wine to drink, and sing with you with chopsticks on a plate". The poem says that the nationalist is in vain, and that the fate of a man's head is not to be helped. I am lonely in the scenery, and I am wasting my time in my official position. I'm not sure if I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, and I'm a good person, and I'm a good person.
It is a landmark of old Shanghai. When night falls, the Baidu Bridge across the Suzhou River is like a kaleidoscope. Red, yellow, blue, purple, and other different colors are constantly changing, making people overwhelmed and dazzled.
3. Century Avenue Sundial
Shanghai's Pudong Century Avenue, completed on April 18, is the best cityscape in the world. Like a waterfall pouring down from the towering Oriental Pearl Tower, Century Boulevard traverses a canyon of hundreds of high-rise buildings, clustering together the four functional areas of finance, commerce, trade, and government in the Lujiazui financial and trading district, and finally falling into the Century Park and merging with the largest green ocean in Shanghai.
The 5,000-meter-long, 100-meter-wide passageway is handled in a world-unique asymmetrical manner. The north sidewalk is 44.5 meters wide with four rows of camphor trees and ginkgoes, and the south sidewalk is 24.5 meters wide with two rows of camphor trees growing. The two-way eight-lane motor way is 31 meters wide, with the centerline offset 10 meters to the south. The beautiful anti-conventional design balances the buildings on the south side over the buildings on the north side, showing the designer's originality. It is known as the "Champs Elysées of the East".
The sundial is small but large, with the oval dial representing the earth and the midpoint of the dial representing China. According to astronomers, the pointer points north and has a timekeeping function.
