Crane your neck to marvel at the second tallest building in Shanghai, the tallest in Jing An District and a major tourist hotspot. 945 feet tall, the magnificent structure also hosts a massive shopping center, housing some of the biggest brand names in clothing, fashion, electronics, furnishing, gifts and every imaginable household appliance. With prices as high as the structure that houses them, it's no wonder that most tourists stick to window shopping in here!
Xintiandi es un destino comercial y de entretenimiento magnífico en la ciudad. Lo que resulta particularmente increíble de Xintiandi son los shikumen, unos edificios tradicionales construidos en callejuelas angostas. Los shikumen fueron restaurados y ofrecen una dosis de historia entre tantas tiendas, restaurantes y galerías modernas. La imagen tan pintoresca de Xintiandi con sus cafecitos callejeros y sus edificios encantadores cambia rotundamente al llegar el fin de semana, cuando las noches parecen cobrar vida. Ya sea que quieran disfrutar de un buen almuerzo y contemplar el ir y venir de la gente o que prefieran observar los iluminados edificios shikumen, Xintiandi es la fusión perfecta entre lo contemporáneo y lo tradicional en Shanghái.
Now a Bund classic, the Glamour Bar is an elegant space for an evening cocktail with a date or visitor. Wooden floors, leather chairs, velour ottomans and sparkling deco lamps combine to create a chic and femenine interior, while huge arched windows provide a view over the Huangpu River and the futuristic Pudong area. Besides the view, the other draw is the selection of random live acts and events, from cabaret to book launches, that take place on a semi-regular basis. The Glamour Bar is also home to the annual Shanghai Literary Festival.
Zhen Yang is a large and relatively new complex in Shanghai. It has 32 lanes and peak times are often in the early evenings, when the cost of a game dips to all-time lows.
Starting at the Bund and stretching from east to west, Nanjing Road is one of the most famous shopping destinations in Shanghai. At roughly 3.5 miles, it's one of the longest shopping districts in the world. Nanjing Road is actually divided into two roads: East Nanjing Road and West Nanjing Road, though East Nanjing is where you'll find the famous pedestrian arcade. Flagship stores, boutiques, open-air markets, chains, and restaurants line the road, and everything from McDonalds to Tiffany & Co. is at your fingertips. In recent times, Nanjing's fame has somewhat been eclipsed by Huai Hai Road, but it is definitely still worth visiting, especially at night, when the whole street is lit up with neon signs that could rival Las Vegas.
Red Town has metamorphosed the 20th-century steel factory that formerly occupied this location. The Shanghai Sculpture Space breathes new life into this versatile establishment with an evolving collection of modern Chinese sculpture. The Minsheng Art Museum is one of the largest spaces and features contemporary art exhibitions by emerging and established artists. Their live music venue has played host to local and international performers with its state-of-the-art sound system and unparalleled acoustics. Amidst the artistic excursion, make a stopover at the stylish cafe that doubles up as a gathering spot for creative minds. Also on floor are a fitness club, bridal couture boutique and vintage store. The Lei Studio is a great place for some art therapy, while a stroll at the floral market is a botanist's delight.
Formerly consisting of old and forgotten warehouses, Moganshan Lu has now been transformed into one of the most promising and up-and-coming areas for contemporary art in Shanghai. With over 120 art galleries and studios packed tightly alongside a wealth of shops, modern cafes and stylish dining options, Moganshan Art District makes for an eye-opening experience. Exhibitions and workshops reveal the work of both established artists and those new to the Chinese art scene. Outside the galleries, the impressive street art splashed across the walls completes this area as a truly inspiring and precious space for Shanghai’s ever-growing modern art scene.

Mercedes-Benz Arena is in the core center of Shanghai World Expo Park. The shape of this center is like a UFO. As the first large cultural venue with variable capacity in China, Mercedes-Benz Arena's main space can be separated with variable number of seats, for example, from 5,000 seats to 18,000 seats. During the time of Shanghai World Expo, there are at least two performances in this center every day. This arena is one of few buildings that will be kept intact forever after the closure of Shanghai World Expo.
