I never imagined I could see the Yungang Grottoes in Shanghai. The Music Cave is truly unique, as is the exhibition layout on the sixth floor. I was also lucky enough to snag the last two discounted tickets of the day. I was so happy.

The art museum is pretty good. The current &quot;Pillars - Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin Academic Documents Exhibition&quot; is particularly good! The organizer of this exhibition is the Shanghai Architectural Society, and the academic support is provided by the Memorial Hall of the Chinese Architectural Society of the School of Architecture of Tsinghua University and the China Forbidden City Society. It is hosted by the Qukan Art Museum. There are many precious original documents in the exhibition. Friends who admire Mr. Liang and Mr. Lin and like ancient buildings must not miss it.
The art museum is located on the 6th floor of Bingang Commercial Center. The commercial center has just opened, it is spacious and bright, and the decoration is relatively fashionable.

Night view

The Bund in Shanghai is a famous scenic area along the Huangpu River. A stroll along the riverbank offers views of the modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui on the opposite bank, including landmarks such as the Oriental Pearl Tower and Jin Mao Tower. The Bund also features numerous classical European-style buildings, such as No. 1 to No. 33 on the Bund, many of which were formerly bank buildings. In the early morning, many locals exercise, and at night, the area is brightly lit with stunning river views. Nearby attractions include Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and Yu Garden, both within walking distance. The area offers a variety of dining options, including Nanxiang steamed buns, pan-fried dumplings, and other local Shanghai cuisine. Transportation is convenient, with subway lines 2 and 10 providing easy access. It is recommended to visit in the late afternoon to enjoy both the sunset and the night view.

Disneyland, step into a magical fairytale world. A favorite for both children and adults, no doubt, those who want to come will definitely come. It&#39;s bound to be crowded; even though I deliberately entered the park late, I still queued for security for almost an hour.

Great option. Totally worth the money. The buffet was really good with lots of options. I don&rsquo;t recommend any fast track for this attraction.

My goal is to be a parent who doesn&#39;t spoil the fun... My child loves Ultraman... so we had to go to Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park... There are two Ultraman zones in China, the other is in Zhengzhou. We couldn&#39;t afford an Ultraman-themed hotel, so we bought extra tickets for the small theater, which included a cape, energy bar, and mask. It wasn&#39;t great value, but the kids were happy. Looking at my children, I was overwhelmed with emotion, and my eyes welled up with tears... We will eventually part ways; having the chance to accompany you for this journey is a blessing... I hope you won&#39;t suffer so much, won&#39;t be so tired... Hugs to my darlings...

A Must-See at the Shanghai Museum! Travel Through Time with Zhou Xun and Check Out the Trendy Art Exhibition

I was truly amazed by the new exhibition at the Shanghai Museum! This is no longer the traditional museum you might expect; it&#39;s super trendy now! 🔥 I visited the &quot;Amazing Ancestors&mdash;Zhou Xun&#39;s Time Travel Adventure&quot; themed art show in October, and it completely overturned my perception of museums. I had to share this guide with everyone!

📍 Address: Shanghai Museum, People&#39;s Square Branch

📅 Exhibition Period: Until the end of the year (Hurry and go!)

🎫 Admission: Free (So generous!) VR experience ticket 68 RMB, all-inclusive ticket 128 RMB, great value!

🎯 Must-See

1️⃣ Blue and White Porcelain Arena + AI Robot 💙 I was immediately struck by the sight upon entering! In the center of a Chinese-style arena adorned with blue and white porcelain patterns, a kung fu robot painted with blue and white porcelain designs is practicing Wing Chun! The &quot;Hum hum ha hey&quot; sound is incredibly catchy, and right next to it are the Jingdezhen kiln blue-and-white double-eared vase and blue-and-white flat pot with camellia branch design, treasures from the Shanghai Museum. The collision of tradition and the future is amazing!

2️⃣ Jade Meets the Future Zone 🪐 The &quot;Jade Deity&quot; from over 4,000 years ago has been transformed into a giant projection of &quot;Zhou Xuetong&quot; wearing a futuristic crown. The feeling of a dialogue across time is perfect for taking amazing photos!

3️⃣ Bronze Across Eras ⚔️ Here, the Da Ke Ding has been transformed into &quot;Zhou Xuetong&#39;s&quot; bronze armor and bronze headphones. The super cool bronze guardian design protects the cultural treasures of our ancestors&mdash;definitely a social media darling!

4️⃣ Pastel Romance Zone 💕 Everything is in pastel colors. Treasures such as the Qianlong-era pastel-painted vase with sculpted children and the pastel-painted lotus-patterned covered bowl, combined with the dreamy exhibition layout, will directly capture the heart of any girl!

📸 Hidden Features

🎮 VR Experience Zone: On the first floor, you can become a cultural relic restorer, travel through the world of cultural relics to save &quot;Zhou Tongxue&quot;&mdash;a truly immersive experience!

📱 AR Photo Op: The museum features an AR photo spot where you can virtually take a photo with &quot;Zhou Tongxue&quot;&mdash;a high-tech experience!
