    People must go there when you go to Shanghai . Don’t take a photo only without to buy a ticket to go in the tower. It is worth to visit. You can also visit the museum which spend more than 30 minutes. If you like the amusement rides , you can also try it.

    We visited late on a Saturday afternoon, as the sun was beginning to go down and we saw some excellent views. It wasn’t too busy. It’s a big, tall building that allows you a 360 degree view of inner city Shanghai, so you should enjoy the views, provided there’s no cloud cover. The lift journey up was quick, but they missed a trick by not having the lifts on the outside of the building with glass walls. You’re in a four sided metal box and you can’t see anything to get any perception of speed. There isn’t that much else to see in Shanghai, so it’s well worth a visit.

    The monument provides a marvelous view of the river and the New Town. It’s located at the end of the Bund river walk. The carvings below trace local history and extoll the struggles and rise of the Communist Party.

    it was cool to see some of the ancient architecture like this still standing and being preserved. This was one of the reasons we came to china was to see structures like this. The tower was cool, wish we could have went up inside it.

    Located on the Bund, its history dates back 1865. It was reconstructed many times and last one was in 1999. Currently, houses a museum of history of the Bund and a restaurant. Looks amazing in evening.

    Nicely restored towers in the centre of Nanxiang Old Town. They give the area an authentic atmosphere and a centre to the town.

    Another place to visit when visiting the water town. I would suggest visiting if you live in Shanghai not really for tourists on a time limit. One of the quieter water towns
