What travellers are saying
- Jo-AnnKuala Lumpur, Malaysia17,011 contributionsA THREE hours ride for us from Pudong. Almost 2 hours on metro. Line 1 to Jinjang Park Station. One hour busride on the Feng Mei line straight to Fengjing. Town is serene and beautiful. As the Zongzi Festival (rice dumplings) is just next week, the whole town was at work. Fun to watch. Get to try varieties of freshly made rice dumplings. They can vacuum pack the dumplings for you if like for takeaway. Lovely experience exploring the town and then... the long ride home!Written 6 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- xingmingBicton, Australia775 contributionsPublic holiday today (Dragon Boat Festival) yet the park was very quiet. Easy to get to on Subway Line 9 - the station is Zuibaichi Park. Allow 2-3 hours as the park occupies 5 hectares. Great bonsai specimens and glimpses of the original gate from the Song dynasty while the other buildings are Ming and Qing. Tickets 12Rmb.Written 10 June 2013This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- flirtinggalMontreal, Canada14 contributionsIt is charming. The merchants are nice.

- Chris PShanghai, China6,025 contributionsThere really is not much to see of the old city wall. A very short section and a glass covered section of the foundation. The coffee shop looks worth a visitWritten 15 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- James PHsinchu, T'ai-wan, Taiwan130 contributionsHuzhu pagoda is located on Tianmashan, about 10km west of Dongjing metro station (Shanghai line 9), and can be reached by bus 9 from the station. There is a 10RMB charge for access to the mountain.
The pagoda leans at 6.5degrees (more than the Tower of Pisa).Written 10 May 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The house and surrounding neighbourhoods are particularly interesting as they appear, in semi-fictionalised form, as the setting for Ballard's novel (and later movie) Empire of the Sun. In this period, the foreign residents lived in a cultural bubble in streets and houses replicating suburban London, Berlin or Paris
I did the JG Ballard pilgrimage to 31A Amhurst Avenue in the former International Settlement. Even though I well knew that the actual house has been modified. And it’s not as grand as the Empire of The Sun movie location.
The Ballardians’ website has a wealth of detail on the house under: JG Ballard's Shanghai Home
November 2024 photos: The entrance you see here off 508 Pan Yu Road (just after the striped lamppost) is actually the former side/back, as the front was accessed down a long shared lane off Amhurst Avenue, now Xin Hua Road.
The interior was gutted in 2010 for an up-market function centre and additional buildings have been built round the original 1937 house.
Although the house can't be entered, a tour of the neighbourhood gives an excellent impression of young JG Ballard's environment and social status that informs his work.
Changning still remains a very desirable area with many other grand houses and tree lined streets, and locations mentioned in the novel.
The former International Settlement and French Concession are fascinating and evocative areas that are Shanghai must-sees.Written 25 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
