It's really difficult to play near Shanghai. Why? Wallets should be bulging. Ha ha.
But it is not without an entrance. When people mention Shanghai, their first impression is the Bund. The World Architecture Expo is really spectacular. Special attention should be paid to the HSBC building of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, which was once the city government building. It was once known as the most magnificent building in the Far East. We must see the mural on the ceiling of its hall, which is still the same as that in the concession period. Next door to it is the customs building, with a big clock. Sassoon Building is also worth mentioning. Peace Hotel (currently under maintenance), which is also a landmark building starting from Shili Nanjing Road. At one end of the Bund, there is the broadway mansions, which is now called Shanghai Tower. Its rooftop restaurant is the best place to overlook the Bund and feel the atmosphere of Shili Yangchang. The Pujiang Hotel next to it still retains the iron cable elevator in the concession era. When Chaplin arrived in Shanghai, everything looked like old Shanghai. When you step into the hotel, it feels like going back in time. If you are tired from walking on the Bund, you can take the ferry to Pudong on the other side. There is also a Bund, but the background is changed to Lujiazui Financial District headed by Oriental Pearl. The former tallest building in China, Jinmao Tower, has just been replaced by the world financial center behind it, and the higher Shanghai Tower is under construction. Here, you can sit on the river bank with a cup of coffee and wait for the western lights to fall. At this time, the Bund is the most beautiful. At this time, unlike China, the whole old Europe was in the era of industrial revolution.
If you think that Shanghai only has these European-style old buildings in the concession era, it is all wet. Even in the concession era, Shanghai has retained a place with a pure China style, just like Chinatown overseas now. No matter how westernized it is, it stubbornly continues everything in ancient China. It is the City God Temple, which was the center of Shanghai before the era of Shili Yangchang. It even has a typical Suzhou garden-Yu Garden. If Shanghai people are pregnant with old age, you must go to Suzhou. You must try the steamed bread of Nanxiang Steamed Bread Shop in Chenghuangmiao, which has a branch in Roppongi, Tokyo. You can also try some classic local dishes at the Green Wave Gallery or the Old Shanghai Hotel.
Naturally, you come to Shanghai for a walk. Nanjing Road used to be called the main road. Even in the era of material poverty, Nanjing Road has everything. The reputation of Shanghai commodities spread from here. As time goes forward to the concession era, the four major companies on Nanjing Road have been leading the fashion trend in Shanghai. Daxin Company (now the first department store), Xinxin Company (now the food store), Shixian Company (now the fashion store) and Yongan Company. After visiting these four major companies, one day has actually passed, and my legs are sore and my feet hurt. Nanjing Road from the Bund to People's Square is called Nanjing East Road, bounded by international hotels. The International Hotel used to be the tallest building in Shanghai, the central landmark of Shanghai concession era, and its appearance was the most popular modern architectural style in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s. The Great Bright Cinema next door (currently under renovation) is also one of the earliest and most advanced cinemas in Shanghai. Going to the movies in Daguangming has always been a very emotional thing for Shanghainese. Nanjing West Road to the west of the International Hotel has changed the people-friendly style of Nanjing East Road. The shopping malls in Meilong Town, led by Hang Lung, CITIC Pacific and Isetan, are firmly following the high-end route synchronized with the world, and there are also many old shops written by Zhang Ailing for nearly a hundred years, such as Kaiseling West Point, Deda Western Restaurant (Shanghai-style western food), Kutokuhayashi vegetarian restaurant and Mellon Town restaurant (Shanghai-style Sichuan food). In the traditional sense, Jing 'an Temple is the end of Shili Nanjing Road, and the Changde apartment next to it is the former residence of Zhang Ailing, as well as the ballroom, which is most easily reminiscent of the social butterfly, dancers and countless assassination plots in old Shanghai. I recommend you take bus No.20, which is the earliest bus line in Shanghai. From the starting point of Jiujiang intersection on the Bund to Jing 'an Temple, you can fully appreciate the charm of Shili Nanjing Road, the first street in China.
Tiananmen Square in Beijing is a must. Shanghai is naturally the People's Square. This is the racetrack in the old society. Of course, there are no horse races now, and the subsidiary building of the racecourse has also been changed to Shanghai Art Museum. In the center of the square is the Shanghai Museum, which looks like the treasure of the town hall, facing the Shanghai Municipal Government, and the Shanghai Grand Theatre and the Urban Architecture Planning Museum are on both sides of the municipal government. Don't underestimate the Shanghai Museum. It is one of the four major museums in China (the other three are the Palace Museum, Shaanxi Museum and Henan Zhongyuan Museum). It is completely free (admission is by ticket, and there may be no ticket when there are many people). This is well worth seeing. Raffles city, located at the intersection of Fuzhou in People's Square, is a paradise for young people in Shanghai. It is always crowded with trendy young people waiting for a date. Speaking of Fuzhou Road, it used to be called Sima Road. Before liberation, it was a smoky alley, but now it has become a cultural street. Besides Shanghai Bookstore, Foreign Language Bookstore and Ancient Books Bookstore, there are also excellent private bookstores such as Popular Bookstore and Jifeng Bookstore (in Raffles City). You must visit those who love books.
There is a story in Shanghai that foreigners visit Nanjing Road and Shanghainese visit Huaihai Road. Yes, Huaihai Road is Joffrey Street in the former French Concession. The landmark of young people here is Parkson Square, and the Cathay Cinema next to it is still the same as it was in the 1930s. The streets are lined with French phoenix trees in the concession era. Luo Songtang must order shrimp cups and clams at the Red House Western Restaurant. Xintiandi transformed from Shanghai Lane is the most expensive commercial land in Shanghai, including the site of the First Congress of the Communist Party of China. Shanghai girls are particularly attached to Huaihai Road. Although some of them later went to Ginza in Tokyo and Fifth Avenue in new york, they always felt that they were not as close as Huaihai Road, and they lacked the pleasure of competing with each other, appreciating each other and watching others. The way to Huaihai Road is to change to subway 1 at People's Square and get off at Shaanxi South Road Station (the exits are Parkson and Guotai). Or get off at Huangpi North Road Station (exit near Xintiandi). Jinjiang Hotel and Garden Hotel on Huaihai Road (formerly French General Association) are both famous protected buildings with Shanghai characteristics, and of course the interior decoration is also modern five-star. Besides, if you see a fairy-tale house, please don't be surprised. It is Moller Villa in Hengshan Mountain. At first, it was really built according to the fairy tale castle in the dream of Mahler's little daughter, a Jewish businessman. Now it is also a hotel where you can stay.
There are Xujiahui (Luomei City in Ganghui) and Zheng Da Square (next to the Oriental Pearl) in Pudong, and subway 1 Line and Line 2 are easy to reach. There are Fuxing Middle Road, Yuyuan Road and Duolun Road. For details, please refer to Chen's works (Boat to China, Never-ending Street, Shanghai Style, etc.). Wang Anyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow is a deep description of Shanghai and Shanghai.
Take a good walk, look and play in several museums you like. Tip: Generally speaking, self-built libraries are more expensive and thoughtful than rented libraries, so it is recommended to spend limited time on those self-built libraries.
The whole Expo Pavilion is divided into Pudong and Puxi. Pudong is divided into three areas: A, B and C. The most important Expo axis and Expo.
The center, performing arts center and celebration square, as well as all national venues including China Pavilion, are located in these three districts of Pudong. Puxi is divided into two areas, D and E, mainly the Future Pavilion, the Enterprise Pavilion and the Urban Best Practice Zone. As a one-day tourist, the basic activities of the day are all in three districts of Pudong.
The one-day tour we offer aims to visit the most museums in the least time, which is why this tour will be carried out first.
Area B, then Area A and Area C, so as to avoid wasting a lot of time waiting at the China Pavilion in the morning and evening. All the pavilions recommended here are self-built, and the specific pavilions can be selected independently near the routes we provide according to your own preferences.

New Zealand Pavilion: After seeing the theme pavilion, walk north along Expo Pavilion Road, and you will see the New Zealand Pavilion as soon as you get to Bocheng Road.

The Cultural Center is in the northeast of the Expo Center. There are many performances here every day, from the passionate flamenco song and dance in Spain to the large-scale folk song and dance show "African Footprints", which makes people feel like they are in Africa.
China Pavilion: After enough rest, you can queue up at China Pavilion. Even at noon when there are relatively few people, even if you have made an appointment, you will inevitably have to wait in line for about 30 minutes. However, due to the unique design of the China Pavilion, you will find that the sunshine is blocked when queuing, which is called "self-shading". When designing the China Pavilion, everyone's queuing situation was taken into account.
49-meter floor: Take the elevator after entering the site and come to the 49-meter floor first. Surrounded by a circle of tempered glass floor like the Oriental Pearl, there is a waiting square at the foot, which now looks very small, and movies are shown there at the same time. On this floor, there is also a picture of the riverside at Qingming Festival, which is more than 100 meters wide, and people in it can walk around.
4 1 m floor: After 49 meters, you can go to the 4 1 m floor. It takes a long queue to visit here by rail tour bus, but it is worth a try and will have a special experience.
