Shanghai Summer Family Trip|Free and No Reservation Needed! Old Shanghai Architecture, Few People, Beautiful Scenery, and Educational

A few days ago, I took the kids to the Shanghai Securities Museum + the Most Beautiful Reading Room on the Bund. Indoor venues keep you cool, and the best part is there are few people! Free! No reservation needed! (Closed on Mondays~) 【Securities Museum】🏛 (Photos 1-10) Originally the Richards Hotel built in 1846 (later called the Pujiang Hotel), the building itself is a living piece of history. 📖 Beautiful design and houses many "Shanghai firsts" ☑️ Shanghai’s first electric light💡 ☑️ Shanghai’s earliest use of gas ☑️ Shanghai’s earliest use of tap water🚰 ☑️ One of China’s first telephone installations☎ ☑️ China’s earliest screening of semi-sound films🎬 ☑️ New China’s first securities exchange📈 Family trip highlights👇: ✅ Visited the room where "Einstein" once lived, telling the kids this was the place where "the smartest brain in the world" stayed~ ✅ Also saw the suite where the King of Comedy "Charlie Chaplin" once lived🎭 ✅ Visited the place where Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao once took refuge, which serves as a simple patriotic education🇨🇳 ✅ Children’s science museum with lots of pictures and interactive exhibits, very friendly for young kids. ✅ Older kids can learn about the changes in China’s capital market, gaining a wealth of knowledge!📚 【“Shanghai Morning” Reading Room】(Photos 11-13) Right next to the museum on the right is what netizens call the "Most Beautiful Reading Room on the Bund"! 📸 We took some photos here, it’s very easy to get beautiful shots! The environment is quiet and elegant, really not crowded. If you have time, you can even read books here, including Shanghai humanities and children’s books, enjoying a wonderful family time.👩‍👦 ❣️ Nearby family trip TIPS: 🔸 Postal Museum 🔸 Zhapu Road Sauce Garden Lane 🔸 North Bund Riverside Walkway (recommended at dusk, too sunny during the day!) ⏰ Plan your time well, and you can connect these into a full-day family trip itinerary!
