  Itinerary:
Visit the multi-media exhibition hall of the city history inside the landmark, the Oriental Pearl Tower.

Go to Yu Garden and the Town God's Temple (Taoist temple) bazaar, the No. 1 sightseeing spot in foreigners' eyes to feel the contrast between tradition and modernity. Have lunch at an ancient decorated restaurant by the pond like some politicians did during their Shanghai visits.

Cab to Xintiandi, a pedestrianised area featuring rebuilt traditional 'Stone Gate House' that combined the south to Yangtze and western style which had been popular in Shanghai during 1910s-1930s. Take a glance of the site where the No. 1 National Congress of the Communist Party of China was ever held.

Learn the popular Chinese contemporary art in a quiet, old residential block, where many artists gathered, and diverse shops selling fine designed souvenirs marketed to foreign visitors.

Other options: the municipal museum, the art loft, the folk collection center, the Jade Buddha Temple etc.
