Old City God Temple
A crash course in old Shanghai folk culture. The Old City God Temple has long been like a grand temple fair that never ends. Whatever you might look for at other temple fairs, you'll find here, with its snacks and distinctive handicrafts the most famous of all. The Old City God Temple was built during the Yongle era of the Ming dynasty. Historically, the temple was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. The current temple was built in 1926 and rebuilt on a large scale in the 1990s, becoming a large, antique-style architectural complex and commercial district. The renovated old temple may have lost some of the atmosphere of the old city district, yet visitors still flock here, a testament to its enduring charm. The saying “Gold from the Old Temple brings you good luck” is known far and wide.

Oriental Pearl Tower
Whatever the time of day, it always catches your eye. The Oriental Pearl Tower, which evokes "large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate," doesn't always look especially pearl-like in daylight. This Shanghai landmark is better suited to night photography; by day, it resembles the aluminium city sculptures found everywhere, magnified several thousand times! The tower stands 468 metres tall, making it the tallest TV tower in Asia and the third-tallest in the world. The visitable areas include the lower sphere, the middle sphere with its circular gallery, and the upper sphere with its space capsule. The top of the lower sphere sits 118 metres up and houses an observation gallery and the Dreamy Space City, among other attractions. The upper sphere is 295 metres high and contains a revolving tea room, a restaurant and an observation platform that can hold 1,600 people. Between the upper and lower spheres are five small spheres, which are five sets of luxury suites high in the air.

Old Villas
Old villas are Shanghai’s most classic residences. These exotic garden villas mostly have prominent backgrounds or romantic stories full of poetry and painting. Their fairy-tale charm was once the envy of everyone, and today’s young people also dream of these luxurious buildings. Hengshan Road is lined with garden houses once owned by powerful and wealthy figures of the past. It starts at Huaihai Middle Road in the former French Concession and continues to Xujiahui, with consulate buildings nearby. Dense French plane trees line both sides of the road, sheltering old buildings full of mysterious stories. Many of these old houses on Hengshan Road, with their vintage street lamps, have been refurbished and repurposed. For example, the residence of Xi Deyi, former governor of the Central Bank of the Nationalist Government, became the Shanghai-style restaurant “Xijia Garden (席家花园),” and the mansion of H. H. Kung (孔祥熙) became the Shanghai Film Studio. More and more old villas have been turned into distinctive restaurants and bars, now the most popular dating spots for young people. Lilac Garden: Said to be where Li Hongzhang (李鸿章) kept his hidden love, this is an American-style garden villa. Building No. 3 houses a library with many rare books and antiquities. To the south of the garden lies a large expanse of green lawn with classically styled park benches.
