    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.

    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.

    The underground is convenient. In the People's Square you can see a variety of landmarks, walking in the garden-style square is very comfortable, there is a green space in the square to raise a lot of peace pigeons, natural harmony, or quite interesting.

    You can buy a ticket from below and then lift up to the show.
    Nicely made characters.
    If you have a lot of customers, it can take time to tour the exhibition.

    A 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.

    This is one of the oldest shopping malls in Shanghai that was opened in 1915. It is located at the intersection of Xizhang Middle Road, Nanjing West Road and it jointly forms the first highlight of the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. It looks great and awesome especially so at night with the colourful lightings that are turned on!

    It got a major facelift in the late 2019, which included a Naruto theme park, a 55m climbing wall in its central atrium and Madam Tusad museum located on the 10th floor.

    It is considered a middle-to-high-end shopping mall with many international luxury brands, is a good place to shop and dine, where several cafes, restaurants are located.

    Grand art deco cinema, beautifully restored. Note that this review just covers the cinema portion of the Shanghai Grand Theatre complex. This part of the complex includes 8 good modern multiplex cinemas and the restored Grand cinema 1, which seems to be only open for special occasions, and the cinema lobbies. The art deco lobbies are superb, and seem to be free to view. See photos. Western movies are quite expensive but worth it for the total cinema experience. Must see for movie history and art deco lovers.

    Came here to do a customized chocolate for my kids.
    Staffs are very friendly but their English is quite limited.
    Saw some performance and took pic with the m&m.

    We started walking Fuzhou Road from Raffles City Mall towards the Bund. However it was drizzling so we didnt make it all the way. This street is very interesting and historical, with old buildings and old bookstores and art gallery. Love it!

    A nice park just across from the History Museum to have a little stroll avoiding the hustle and bustle of the city - you can look at the ‘CV’s’ that parents have left practically advertising their child to find them a partner, it’s a very interesting tradition to view. The park itself is well cared for with a nice koi pond as well.

    The tourist guide (who i can't remember his name) took us here for street foods and we enjoyed really much. As most of south China foods are hot, delicious, spicy as i love.

    Not so big as a mall but one of the coolest ever, mixing trendy shops with art installations. The coolest shoe shop I ever saw, with huge LED screens as tables and a robot. And much else. Also, many different restaurants. Close to an area which is worth walking through.

    I always love visiting this Grand old Theatre. Love all the decor and fittings and of course the acoustics are amazing. Always a treat.

    This is an excellent place to experience traditional Chinese opera. Very good productions and good sight lines from most seats. Not too expensive either. To Western ears Chinese opera can be a bit of an acquired taste, but one that is definitely worth acquiring. Thankfully smoking is now banned throughout the theatre.
