Things to do in Shanghai, Shanghai Region: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
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.

When it opened in 1998 Jin Mao Tower used to dominate the Pudong skyline together with the Oriental Pearl Tower. These days it is overshadowed by the significantly taller Shanghai Tower and Shanghai World Financial Center. However, this should not deter you from visiting it. This stunning architectural masterpiece remains my second favorite observation deck in the city behind the one located at the top of Shanghai Tower. Unlike the neighbouring SWFC you can enjoy 360 degree views from the top and unlike the Oriental Pearl Tower there are usually no long queues to get in. The admission price is also more reasonable than at the other observation decks and in addition you get a dizzying view down the world’s tallest lobby.

Speed to the top of the world’s third tallest TV and radio tower for a spectacular view, or just gaze at this beautiful structure from afar, especially striking when lit up at night.

This is indeed one of the nicest place to visit in Shanghai.Though this is not the tallest building in Shanghai,its really worth it.Its an amazing looking building and the views are awesome.The biggest highlight is the glass bottom viewing point..As many other places ,wifi is available in this attraction as well.However we had trouble reading the otp since it was in native language. Note:-Please mind that this is one of the most crowded places in Shangahi.The queues can get really big,and you might end up being in the line for a long time -The washrooms are not very well maintained and better to stay away unless its an emergency.

Line 16 Lingang Avenue and then take Bus 1078 will take you straight to the flower park. Tulips are everywhere. There are other flowers as well but tulips rule here! Lovely park to enjoy taking photographs and relax.

We went to Xinchang by public transportation and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. It took about 1 1/2 hours each way, and we wandered around the lovely town for a couple of hours. A nice, easy excursion and change of pace from the urban wonder that is Shanghai. We had read that the town gets crowded on weekends, so we went on a Monday, and it was not at all crowded. Regarding public transportation, metro line 16 takes you relatively close, but not all the way there. Our phone’s GPS system told us which bus to take and where to pick it up - but be warned, the buses to and from Xinchang didn’t have numbers, so you either had to read the destination in Chinese on the bus, or ask someone. A recommended excursion.
