Pudong or locally know as Pudong Business District, is one of the business centers in Shanghai. It was first developed in 1990 and has since then emerged as one of China’s biggest financial and commercial hub. Pudong is home to the Lujiazui economic district and a skyline that contains the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Jin Mao Tower; these two structures are the symbols of Shanghai and China's economic development.

The Bund is one of the most familiar architectural symbols of Shanghai. The word Bund or Waitan is derived from the Anglo-Indian translation meaning “embankment along a mud-spattered waterfront”. The Bund became the most important site for the earliest foreign settlement in Shanghai after it was opened as one of the five Treaty Ports written under the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842.

Yu Garden is one of the most famous traditional Chinese gardens in the world. It is located in the area of Anren Jie and has become a popular tourist destination in Shanghai. The garden was built and completed in the late 1500’s during the Ming Dynasty by an administrative officer Pan Yunduan.

Known as China's number 1 pedestrian shopping street, Nanjing Road extends from the Bund in the East all the way to Yan’an Road and Jingan Temple junction in the West. It was formerly considered as the oldest shopping street in Shanghai and became a British Concession and Settlement area during the Opium War. Nanjing Road was the street where foreign goods were transported and exchanged in large numbers.

The French Concession was established in 1862 in the southwest part of Shanghai as a product of the Treaty of Nanjing. It was a place of lawlessness and debauchery in the 1920’s and 30’s. The whole French Concession now covers up the Luwan and Xuhui districts in Shanghai which offers a lot of sightseeing for tourists and locals alike.

The Jade Buddha is a famous Buddhist temple located in the west of Shanghai.  It was demolished during the revolution that overthrew the Qing dynasty. During this period, many of the Buddhist statues in the temple were destroyed but the Jade Buddha statue was left untouched. The temple was later built and named as the Jade Buddha Temple.

Chinese acrobatics is one of the oldest performing arts that have been passed down from generation to generation. Used as a form of labor and self defense skill, this form of arts is extremely difficult and requires intense training. Acrobatic skills and tricks originated from the time of the Han Dynasty.

It was originally established in December 1952 on Nanjing Road but later moved to the south of Henan Road right at the center of Shanghai in People's Square in 1959. The museum holds a collection of over 120,000 pieces of historical treasures in twelve different artistic categories.
