The complex covers an area of 2 hectares, with rockeries, pavilions, ponds and corridors. Wander through the decorative and calming landscapes, camera in hand, and learn about the garden’s history.
To make the most of your time exploring iconic landmarks while conserving your energy, we invite you to enjoy a scenic drive through the charming French Concession. Passing along the Wukang Road which stretches 1.17 kilometers long. Originally built in 1907, the road is the representative of the typical garden style residential complex in the French Concession. On both sides of the road are plane trees and many European-style buildings built in the early 20th century, once inhabited by many celebrities.
Then, continue to walk along the Bund. This 1.5-kilometer-long embankment runs along the western bank of Huangpu River. On its west side it is the "architecture gallery" with 52 well-preserved old European style buildings. Once the major trading and commercial center of old Shanghai, the Bund has now taken on new vitality, with futuristic developments, chic restaurants, top end shops and bars offer plenty to see and do, and by night it's magic!
From the Bund, you'll visit the Shanghai Tower, China's tallest building at 632 meters. You can opt for a panoramic 360-degree view of the city from the observation deck (additional cost).
