Shanghai's scenery on the weekend is as beautiful as a painting, and the lack of crowds is unbelievable. I once thought that all tourist spots labeled as 'Internet-famous' were inevitably reduced to crowded assembly lines for people to check in. That was until I visited Jiading New City. It turns out that even Internet-famous spots can maintain their original tranquility and vitality. If you want to spend a weekend enjoying the scenery without being disturbed by crowds, I recommend this hidden gem route: Shanghai Poly Grand Theatre - Jiading Library - Yuanxiang Lake Park These three places are all within walking distance. You can appreciate the cultural architecture as well as enjoy the natural lake scenery, and the key point is that there really aren't many people. It's a blessing for those who prefer solitude! The Poly Grand Theatre is a work of the 'poet of reinforced concrete,' Tadao Ando, and it is the first theater in China to have a water stage. It is built over the water, merging with Yuanxiang Lake, offering a great sense of space. When taking photos, you can use the reflection on the water for composition, resulting in a high-class feel in the pictures! Jiading Library is known as 'Shanghai's most beautiful library,' has won many awards in the design field, and has been selected as 'the world's best public library.' To enter the library, you need to make a reservation with a Shanghai Reader's Card. However, in this season, sitting outside on a bench with a cup of coffee and a book is also quite pleasant~ What's more important is that the library is entirely surrounded by water and glass mirrors, which makes for excellent photo opportunities! Yuanxiang Lake needs no further introduction; it has both water and forests, and when you're tired of buildings, you can enjoy the natural beauty.
