    City lights and river views mark a walk along The Bund elevated walkway. Historic buildings are all lighted simultaneously at 6 pm in winter. Modern buildings across the river has more moving light show effects.

    No.134 Jojo Tailor ! 

    I was passing through Shanghai and came across the JoJo store on the Internet! Custom-made clothing turned out to be very relevant for me since I live in China and it is difficult to find clothes according to my parameters, especially so that the sleeve length matches 🤭 I trusted the reviews of my compatriots and purposefully came to a wonderful professional in his field! In one day they sewed a cashmere coat, a blouse, a jacket, even persuaded my husband to order shirts and a coat 😍, I will definitely come back and I advise everyone to contact Jojo: 1. Invaluable experience. 2. Work for results. 3. Reasonable prices. 4. Understanding of the client's wishes. 5. Open and honest response

    Long pedestrian street full of shops and even more people. Here you can find stores like H&M and many other western brands. You can also find domestic shops, selling just about anything. Great street to people watch. Beware of the people asking you to buy watches and bags as these are very cheap imitations

    Top of the Pyrimids Exhibition:-
    This is a special exhibition of a few hundred selected pieces from the time of the pharaohs, brought from the Cairo Museum on a government to government initiative. You need to book your ticket and timeslot online. Exhibits were very well presented, although the written descriptions of the exhibits in english were too brief. You can rent a audio machine to have a better explanation on the exhibits. Go on a weekday if possible as the weekend crowd can be overwhelming, although the visitors allowed in are controlled by the number of tickets sold. For non China citizens, you require your passport to enter the museum. Your online booking is linked to your passport details. Make sure you fill in your passport details correctly when doing your online booking, became if the information does not tally, you will not be allowed into the museum. Its worth the 2 to 3 hour time to visit this exhibition.

    Tianzifang is one of the popular tourist destinations in Shanghai for shopping and experiencing local culture and lifestyle. It is located in the old French concession area. The area has mainly retained the "authentic and original" feeling because it has not been reconstructed or rebuilt. Instead visitors will get to see buildings, shophouses, alleys and streets of the old French concession area with Chinese "culture".

    It has now become famous as a "rabbit warren" of arts and crafts shops, with restaurants, bars, cafes, souvenir and boutique shops etc. It has become touristy but still a good place to have a feel of the local touch.

    I enjoy walking around in the small lanes around the old ancient buildings with beautiful decorations as it is quite difficult to find them these days due to the city redevelopment!

    I saw a lot of old buildings and stores,many of them with unique decorative styles, and strolled along this old street full of stories and moods. I took a lot of photos here and love the sights!

    We came here to look around and shop and stayed to lunch. The area is an interesting stroll and there are indoor air conditioned shops if high end shopping is your thing. Steets were busy and full of happy shoppers. Lots of variety and options to eat.

    like the night view of this place! The blend of classical architecture adorned with traditional Chinese lanterns exuded a unique Chinese vibe. What struck me most was the contrast—this timeless elegance standing not far from modern skyscrapers. The juxtaposition created a sense of conflict and complexity, a beauty that felt layered and intriguing. I absolutely loved this place.

    We visited here in August 2019 on a tour. Although we were only here for a couple of hours, it was no where near enough time to get through all the shops and food stalls and sights. August is a very busy time and there were many many people everywhere. The architecture was wonderful, and so much to see. Definitely worth the visit. Leave yourself enough time.

    A lot of things changed during COVID-19 Pandemic, but not the extraordinary service provided by Heping Fandian's team! Heping Hotel has been my favorite hotel in China since 2018. I met Zoey, their talented and excellent front desk operator who helped me a lot during my stay. China is changing rapidly since last I was there. Zoey was kind and informative. She made my visit in China much more easier. The room she gave me have impeccable street view. It always makes me want to extend my stay.

    This place always amazes me. Shanghai is so big and impossible to comprehend how big the city is until you see the models on the whole floor.

    After our visit to the Yu Garden, we went over to the Old City God Temple, which is also known as Chenghuangmiao by locals. During our visit, the temple was under restoration works either the roof being refurbished, among others. Nonetheless, it was still crowded with visitors, mostly locals.

    According to an article we read, the Old City God Temple enjoys a high status in Shanghai, and there is an old saying “one who fails to reach the temple never reaches Shanghai”. The City God Temple was built to protect the safety of the people in the city, and the gods are regarded as patron saints in Taoism.

    Worth to work this visit into your itinerary when visiting Yu Garden.

    I have been to many European and Asian cities but for architecture, Shanghai is the best. Singapore second. Paris third. (My opinion). Not related to architecture which is focus of this review, but street food and restored palace/old city were real bonuses.

    Fuxing Park is in the Former French Concession (FFC), where you can wander up and down plane tree-lined streets until your feet ache.

    If you need to stretch your legs and rest your feet, Fuxing Park is a great refuge. There’s a relatively clean public toilet and an expensive café that makes a good and beautifully presented latte.

    The park also features a very photogenic pond with water lilies.
