Top 10 Things to do in Changning, 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.

As others have written, this place has recently moved. Google Maps had it listed under its old location (in the basement of some apartment complex) but that's not right anymore. The address listed here is correct. No photos allowed in the museum, sadly, but it's well worth a visit. The posters all have translations of the captions into English (some in French, too) and many of them also have a few paragraphs of interpretation and context. My experience is that Chinese people use the word "propaganda" unironically and without any hint of negativity that English-speakers usually do. Looking at these posters, some of which I'd seen in books before, I was amazed at how quotidian some of them are, and how powerful and striking others were as well. I certainly appreciated the view into a part of Chinese history that gets represented through a particular lens in US education. I also appreciated looking at what is openly labeled propaganda, and how that made me think about what we see in the US that is not so openly labeled propaganda (but is obviously and clearly analogous). Take the time to visit this museum. It's got a great little gift shop where I bought far too many postcards, and they have a nice collection of books and even original copies of Mao's little red book in multiple languages. They also have posters of varying sizes for sale.

It's original name is Fukaisen Road, and the density of historic villas on Wukang Road is probably second to none in Shanghai. Those plane trees will tell you the legends of the celebrities in old Shanghai.

I went to the Hongqiao Pearl Market specifically looking for pearls. Before I went, I read the trip advisor reviews. Based upon the reviews, I decided to give Catherine's a visit. Catherine's shop is near the escalator on the second floor. Catherine did not disappoint me. She was knowledgeable and helpful. We sat down and discussed various pearl strands and the costs. She was even polite when we negotiated the price. Would go back and buy from Catherine again.
