What travellers are saying
- Maria K62 contributionsBeautiful temple in Shanghai: don’t skip. It’s really pretty. With a couple of gorgeous courtyards and multiple temples you can visit. Highly recommended. In the middle of the city. You can’t photograph the Jade Buddha itself, but all other altars you can. Everything is so calm, and pretty and manicured and worthy of a photo.Written 19 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PTGrand Rapids, MI628 contributionsA must visit, for sure, but I keep returning to take in different angles each time. Get inside where you can and slowly take it in and study whatever is available there.Written 6 June 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sabrina MBeijing, China20 contributionsEnjoyed my time alone just wandering around. I listened to my own music but you could probably find someone playing an instrument somewhereWritten 9 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jo-AnnKuala Lumpur, Malaysia17,192 contributionsGreat park. Great location for Lu Xun’s resting place. It is located at a quiet corner. The park however is pretty happening. People go there to dance and play badminton and even organized musical groups together.Written 1 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mike XChicago, IL3,789 contributionsMost people won't come here even though it's right next to the Longhua temple. It's a park with memorials and sculptures meant to honor those who were executed for being communists. It's a large park with sculptures scattered around. There is a well curated museum in the center where you can learn more of the history.Written 4 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PaulaHMSomerset, UK130 contributionsone of the few 'dogs welcome' places in Shanghai. Our Labrador seems to love it here, if you walk the left hand side first it is always less busy and good for dogs to have a good sniff about before going to the more busy other side nearer the lake with the boats and kids stuff. Good in cooler months/winter too.Written 8 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Andrew M7,589 contributionsWe tried to visit this museum a few years ago, and were disappointed when it was closed due to improvements for the 70th anniversary of the end of WW2 .We took the subway Line 3 (Yellow Line) to Youyi Road, and then took a taxi to the museum. The museum is difficult to find, so it may be best to take a taxi from the subway station.There were a few exhibits in the park outside the museum, including peace doves, peace bell, memorial park and a few sculptures. It may be best to visit the external displays firstly before going into the museum.
The museum has free entry, but tickets are required from the ticket office. Remember to take passports as identification will be requested. There are quite a few halls dedicated to varying themes, but the central theme is the battle of Shanghai. The Baoshan area saw the heaviest fighting, and we had visited the nearby martyrs memorial on our previous visit.This was the first real stand by the Chinese against the Japanese, and it resulted in an estimated 300,000 casualties for the Chinese and an estimated 40,000 for the Japanese. This statistic shows the great loss of life on the Chinese side, which was a feature of the war against Japan. The Japanese marched onto Nanjing after the Shanghai Battle.
The museum also has exhibits on the atrocities carried out by the Japanese, including mass graves, massacres, biological weapons and the use of Chinese women for comfort. The themes in the museum are repeated throughout other military museums in China.The exhibits were well presented, but there was not as much english translation as was expected.We were disappointed at not being able to use the elevator in the Pagoda, as in the old museum the view of the battlefield areas from the tower was one of the main parts of the tour. I hope that the Pagoda section will be reopened soon.Written 19 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Sweden Town is also known as Luodian New Town. Take Line 7 all the way up to Meilan Lake. From the metro station, when you reach the main junction, you turn right (bridge) to Sweden Town and left to Luodian Old Town. Easy. Just lots of walking. Sweden Town is located opposite a huge lake so that’s really pretty. Plenty of restaurants. I believe they are working to make this town alive. I am happy!Written 15 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mingyue CGainesville, FL5 contributionsThe environment there is nice. You can exercise there. It does not have many recreation facilities. You can buy food and drinks there. Entrance tickets are not required.Written 3 March 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
