What travellers are saying
- Bora4 contributionsNice and relaxing stroll along the river. Some coffee shops and Shanghai modern art museum. If the weather is good highly recommended for walking or ride a bicycle.Written 3 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jo-AnnKuala Lumpur, Malaysia17,011 contributionsFirst built in 242 AD. Song Dynasty Monastry. It is old but still very well preserved. Good to visit and enjoy the architecture. Wuite a huge compound to cover. Pagoda was under construction when we were there.Written 15 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- fire-tower3,533 contributionsWe popped into iapm Mall, an upscale shopping mall on Huaihai Road after our visit to the Yonex Showroom in Shanghai (Yonex first overseas showroom which opened on 5 Aug 2033). This shopping mall is well represented by various brands and there are many eateries here. Definitely a good place with lots of choices for shopping and having a meal.Written 27 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jo-AnnKuala Lumpur, Malaysia17,011 contributionsWe went last weekend in winter. It was already pretty awesome. Need to come back in Spring to witness the whole garden in full bloom. Great visit. Huge area to cover though! There’s conversatories, and separate gardens in this compound. We enjoyed our visit but it was a looooooooong metro ride for us coming from Pudong!Written 22 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karyn WKansas City, MO1,647 contributionsThis museum is in a building built in 1905 originally as a home, and houses cultural relics. It has modern and contemporary pieces of art that exhibit the culture of Shanghai. There are three floors and pieces on display include paintings, jade, ivory, and wood carvings, needlework pieces and more.
Some of the pieces were so intricate and gorgeous. Obviously a lot of time and love went into making them.
There are some live art creation events that happen, with artists there working. Also a gift shop is available to make some purchases, though things seems rather expensive.
The place isn't overly big, but we did see several pieces that were very impressive. I'd recommend checking it out.Written 27 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are world class special exhibitions and a very good, well-curated exhibition on Chinese realist art. The labeling has some English translation but help from a Chinese speaker is useful.
But good heavens it expensive by Chinese standards — compared to typical admission fees of 40 CNY, Long Museum is 250 CNY more than $40 per person.Written 8 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Exit No. 10 will take you straight to Metro City Mall. The mall looks quite exciting. It was crowded as it was a rainy day. This mall is not as spacious as many others in Shanghai so when it is crowded, it is not that comfortable to walk around. Moreover people here do not mind lining up for a long time for food! So, ground floor has the most people there as bakeries and restaurants are there. Food is not a worry in this mall, there’s restaurants on every floor!Written 6 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jo-AnnKuala Lumpur, Malaysia17,011 contributionsA great lady to learn about. Her life. Her political career. Her achievements. Her writings. This residence memorial has been done up really nicely with descriptions in Chinese and English. Main house was lovely as well but quite difficult to look around if the crowd is too big. Garden was lovely.Written 11 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- fire-tower3,533 contributionsWe left our hotel late on a Sunday morning in the middle of December 2024, and then took the subway to St Ignatius Cathedral, so that we can attend the English mass at noon. St Ignatius Cathedral is also known as Xujiahui Catholic Church or Xujiahui Cathedral, and is the Catholic cathedral of the Latin Church diocese of Shanghai. It was designed in the Neo-Gothic style by William Doyle and built between 1906 and 1910.
There are many people taking photographs outside the church. As there will be mass, the church volunteers also politely asked if we are attending mass as tourists are not suppose to be entering for viewing of the church when mass is in progress. The structure both inside and outside the church is beautiful and the choir during mass was excellent.
From our search, the mass timings are as below (but please do an independent check in case these have changed):
Mass on Ordinary Days -
Mondays to Saturdays: 6.15am & 7.00pm
Lord’s Day Mass -
Saturdays: 6pm
Sundays: 6.00am, 7.30am, 10.00am & 6.00pm; 12.00pm (English Mass)
Do drop by to admire the architecture if you have time.Written 26 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Guilin park is of the older kind. Lovely walks and bridges. It is not big, but interesting.
You can catch line 12 to Guilin Park Metro. It is not a huge attraction, but a nice place to spend some time and have a feeling of serenity. Enjoy...Written 15 August 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Computerized book ordering is in Chinese, but the online search has English and there are English speaking interns at the reception. It's possible to wander in some areas without being a member, but most require swiping your card. Registering is fairly easy, interns can help; this will require your passport once. There are places to use your laptop, a foreign books section and a fair selection of English-language materials by request in the reading room. Membership in the Shanghai Library also gives access to Zi-Ka-Wei antique book vault.Written 9 November 2011This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sfd-n-chZ726 contributionsThis is a high-end shopping center adjacent to Shanghai Centre on West Nanjing street. The restaurants tend to fill up while the luxury stores are mostly empty. They have a mix of Chinese, Asian, and western restaurants and cafes.Written 14 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mike XChicago, IL4,006 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.
