Place To Visit Shanghai

By Xiao Jia on April 29, 2006

There are so many 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.
