As one of the most famous international
cities in Chins, Shanghai
attracts large numbers of tourists from both home and abroad. Here we collect 3
most famous attractions among tourists.
Shanghai Museum
Covers an area of 38000 square meters, Shanghai Museum
is one of the most famous museum in China. The exterior design of the
round dome and the square base symbolizes the ancient idea of a round heaven
and a square land. With rather archaic flavor, the exterior of the museum
utilizes the shape of an ancient bronze ding. The structure and materials of
the entire building, however, are use of modern technology.
The Shanghai Museum
is mainly used for display ancient arts. Also, it exhibit material both within China and
abroad. Shanghai Museum has 11 galleries and over 120,000
historic artifacts. Its style and presentation surround visitors with artifacts
demonstrating ancient wisdom and philosophy.
As a Chinese saying goes, it is better to
see for oneself than to hear many times. Shanghai Museum
welcomes visitors to see and enjoy Chinese culture.
The
Bund
The Bund is a famous waterfront and has
been one of the most recognizable architectural symbols and pride of Shanghai for hundreds of
years.
The Bund has been called a 'museum of
international architecture' and indeed it was and still is. But it was also
much more. Before the 1840s, the Bund was a muddy narrow lane with tall reeds. Now
many attractive new constructions have been erected in addition to the
historical buildings. It was the centre of the politics, economy and culture of
Shanghai,
consulates of most countries and many banks, businesses and newspaper offices
were settled there, and that's why we have these art-like buildings.
When you tour in Shanghai, you will find people come here to
do exercises every morning and they come to appreciate the view with their
loved ones in the evening.
Jade Buddha Temple is a Buddhist temple in Shanghai, China.
This famous Jade Buddha in the temple is believed to have been brought by
Buddhist monks from Burma
and installed it during the 1800s. The temple was destroyed during the
revolution that overthrew the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately, Jade Buddha
Temple was re-built in
1918 after being overthrown by the Qing dynasty. During your Shanghai
tour, you can find rare paintings and ancient Buddhist writing in Jade Buddha
Temple.
All of these attractions are very famous, I
suggest you’d better have a look around of them during your Shanghai tour.
