After that, move on to your visit to the Shanghai Museum (closed every Monday ). There are four floors in total – on the first floor, you can see bronze ware and sculptures; an exhibition of ancient ceramics on the second floor; the third-floor houses calligraphy, painting galleries, and seals from various dynasties in China; on the fourth floor, there are jade artifacts, coins, Ming and Qing furniture, etc. This is a great opportunity for you to learn about Chinese history.

After that enjoy your sightseeing in one of the landmarks of Shanghai – the Bund. You may not know that the area used to be a desolate tidal flat, but turned into a British settlement and Shanghai’s financial center in the late Qing Dynasty. It is the perfect place to take great photos of the amazing skyline. Make sure to bring your camera!
