The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Gubei / Hongqiao / Minhang, Shanghai Region
The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

Xu Guangqi (1562-1633), born in Shanghai, was a high-ranking scholar-official in the late Ming Dynasty, holding the highest degree of Jinshi from the imperial examination and official positions of Grand Guardian of the Heir Apparent, Minister of Rites, and Grand Secretary. He was buried in 1641 at what is now Guangqi Park in Xujiahui. For his great contributions to introducing to China the Western modern science and technology, particularly in Mathematics, Astronomy, Agriculture, and Military Science, he is hailed as “a patriotic scientist in the late Ming Dynasty” and “the first pioneer of the cultural exchange between China and the Western world.” Located at 17 Nandan Road, the Xu Guangqi Memorial Hall is remodeled from the Nanchunhua Hall, a typical Ming Dynasty residential house, which was relocated here for preservation purposes. The Memorial Hall covers a total area of over 400m2, including the display area at some 220 m2 that comprises four sections.

Catholicism was introduced by Xu Guangqi and his friend in 1607, and Xujiahui was selected as the center of religion. As the first church in Western style, St.lgnatius Cathedral had been completed for 6 years since 1904, with a capacity of over 3000 people. Its gothic double spires echo the twin towers on Grand Gateway, which has attracted people a lot.

We walked here from Xujiahui metro station. Took us about 10 mins. This church is also known as St Ignatius Cathedral. Quite big and beautiful. Unfortunately there was no mass when we visited. On the left side of the cathedral is a grotto with Mother Mary's statue.
