2. Tianzifang Street. This street is popular for travelers because of its’ narrow lane-house neighborhoods. This place has a special, even magical atmosphere, with all of the bars, restaurants, shops, that makes it a unique shopping, dining and crafts hub. Tianzifang Street feels like a place somewhere outside of our era, which holds for the traditional architecture and ambiance.


3. Yuyuan (Yu Garden) – is the garden located next to the City God Temple, in Shanghai’s Old Town. It is designed in a traditional Chinese style, and is the only surviving Ming Dynasty garden in Shanghai. This garden is one of the main city highlights, famous due to its’ beautiful scenery, characterized by decorated bridges, colorful pagodas and intimate enclaves separated by "dragon walls" — partitions with dragon decorations overhead.


4. The Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. If you are visiting Shanghai at the time of a not so pleasant weather, this museum is your choice. It is one of the largest and most visited museums in China, located in the Pudong district, Shanghai. SSTM was selected as the seventh, among the 20 most popular national museums in the world. The museum has two sections: one dedicated to nature and the earth, and the other features interactive exhibits on computing, robotics, cells, space travel, and other cutting-edge science, with the theme of, “Nature, Human, and Technology”.


5. Giant Pandas. Seeing pandas has to be in your “must-do” list. Since all the pandas officially belong to China, there are not many places in the world where you can see these animals. Despite the fact that most of the pandas live in central China, mainly in Sichuan, you can see some in Shanghai zoo.


6. Take a ride on the Maglev — the world's fastest train. This train can speed up to 431 kph (270 mph, twice the speed of a theme park rollercoaster). The train itself is air-conditioned, super-clean, and magnetically-levitated, that covers 30 km (19 miles) in only 8 minutes, but you wouldn`t even feel that you're moving! You can take a ride on this train from Pudong Airport to the Shanghai city center.


7. The Bund and Huangpu River. Shanghai skyline view with all the skyscrapers along the Huangpu River is one of the most popular landmarks of the city. And what can be a better way to take a look at both parts of the city (which are divided by the river), than cruising the Huangpu River.


8. Dive into the past and see the future in Shanghai Museum. The museum is located near Nanjing Road, and its’ glassy building has an awesome large collection (over 120 000 pieces) of rare cultural relics. One of the exhibition halls presents modern Shanghai, and portrays the way the city is anticipated to look in the future.


9. Bird's-eye view is the building from the World Financial Center. This center is officially the fifth tallest building in the world, and due to its’ view of Shanghai, it can only compete with the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. Make sure to go to the highest point of the building - The Sky Walk, which is located on the 100th floor, which would be 474m (1,555 feet) high. You can witness the best view at the time of sunset and sunrise.


10. Shanghai Circus World will show you an amazing, acrobatic show with a compilation of death-defying numbers. The circus is located in Jingan district.


Whether you`re visiting Shanghai for just a couple of days, weeks or more, we highly recommend you to find some time and visit at least a couple of the places described above, in order to feel the spirit of the city and its’ culture.
