Things to do in Shanghai, Shanghai Region: The Best Historic Sites
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.

4.0 based on 91 reviews
The Soong Ching-ling Memorial Residence in Shanghai is where Soong Ching-ling, or Madame Sun Yat-sen, lived for a long time and a major place she used to work on state affairs. Its main building was built in 1920 and owned by a Greek shipping magnate who built the dwelling in the shape of a ship, perhaps in honor of his adventurous shipping career.

Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 9 reviews
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.
