[2025 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for EVA Unit-01 (Updated Oct)

#holidayitinerary (Shanghai Unit-01: The Dimensional Rift of 'Anime Icon' and 'Commercial Relic') This is not a statue; it is a 25-meter-tall titanium-allied gospel. Erected not in a shrine or a park, but in the Ningguo Metropolis Mall parking lot in Yangpu District, its existence is a perfect paradox. It is where the line between sacred devotion and brutal commerce is severed by the blade of a Progressive Knife. The air hums with the psychic residue of a thousand synchronized Weibo posts. Pilgrimage to its ferroconcrete feet to witness: 🗼 Uncanny Colossus: A perfect 1:1 scale replica of the Evangelion Unit-01, frozen in a mid-roar pose, its purple-green armor panels gleaming under the Shanghai smog. A monument to teenage angst scaled to god-like proportions. 🛍️ Commercial NERV: The "Ningguo Metropolis Mall" is its mundane, brutalist Geofront—a temple of consumerism housing the weapon meant to destroy (or save?) it. 📿 Otaku Rituals: Devotees circle its base, not with incense, but with gimbals and ring lights, performing the 21st-century kora of unboxing videos and TikTok dances.

#chinatravel EVA-01 Shanghai Monument distilled into a visceral, lore-rich tribute—where anime iconography collides with real-world awe beneath neon skies: SHANGHAI’S EVA-01: THE BEAST OF HUMANITY’S HOPE • Location: Gundam Base Shanghai / Mitsui Shopping Park (LaLaport), 3F, 501 Bocheng Road, Pudong • Coordinates: 31°13'03"N 121°33'42"E THE EXPERIENCE Craning my neck at the 40-foot titan, I felt the dissonance—Ultra Violet war paint bleeding into Shanghai’s twilight, the roar of traffic fading beneath its silent scream. This isn’t just a statue; it’s Ikari Shinji’s cockpit made real, frozen mid-rage against the glass-and-steel sprawl of Pudong. Time your visit for post-sunset (7–9 PM), when purple LEDs ignite Unit-01’s veins, casting long shadows across the plaza. Feel the ground vibrate as kids shout "Shinji, get in the robot!"—a pilgrimage site for a faith born in 1995.

#summervacay Here’s Shanghai reimagined as EVA Unit-01—a biomechanical god-city pulsating with repressed trauma, capitalist LCL, and sky-piercing pylons that crack the heavens like a S² Engine overdose. 🟪 CORE IDENTITY: URBAN EVANGELION *"A 6,340 km² biomech entity fused to the Yangtze Delta. Spine = Nanjing Road’s neon vertebrae. Armor = Lujiazui’s glass-carbide scales. Core: Oriental Pearl Tower—glowing crimson like a corrupted S² Engine.

Hey there anime fan! Have you heard about this spot in Shanghai? I bet you didn’t! Located near Meet You Museum (which has amazing exhibitions btw) there’s a true gem for anime lovers! From Hatsune Miku, to Detective Conan and my beloved EVA 01 figure! Is it even a figure if it’s huge like that!? You can call it monument or however you want but one thing is for sure - its size does leave you speechless. Have fun and tag me in photo if you go! 😍❤️ #travelinginchina #shanghai

| World's Largest EVA Unit-01 | Cinematic Atmosphere. In September, I finally went to see the long-awaited Unit-01. The 26-meter-high Guinness World Record certified largest Unit-01 model (the length of the Longinus spear must have played a significant role 👀👀👀), located in the creative park at the headquarters of SCLA in Shanghai. At exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, under a cloudless blue sky, the oppressive sense of awe hit me in the scorching air Whether from a distance or up close, wide-angle or macro, detail enthusiasts will find it a perfect choice for stunning shots Even the Wenshui Road subway station platform exudes the magical charm of the EVA world Next time, I'll visit at night to experience the dark-toned atmosphere 📸📸 🌈EVA Unit-01: 1056 Wanrong Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai (🚇 Subway Line 1, Wenshui Road Station, Exit 3, about a 3-minute walk)

In Shanghai, a colossal Unit-01 EVA statue stands at the intersection of Wanrong Road and Wenshui Road in Jing'an District, a striking giant sculpture that has attracted countless eyes—the Shanghai Unit-01 EVA Statue. This statue is not only a breathtaking piece of art but also a perfect representation of the Unit-01 from the classic Japanese anime 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'. It signifies the spread of a culture and the innovation of art. With a total height of 20 meters, it is currently the largest Unit-01 EVA model in the world. Location: Jing'an Xinyefang, Wanrong Road 1056, at the crossroads of Wanrong Road and Wenshui Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai Admission: Free

Shanghai Wenshui Station, you are really playing in style now. The giant Eva statue in Shanghai is apparently not a 1:1 replica, as the cockpit is too small to fit a person But that doesn't stop the heart of pilgrimage. After all, Neon Genesis Evangelion is a legendary series for many people born in the 80s. Next to the warehouse, there is also a life-sized statue of Rei Ayanami, the original otaku's favorite girl, and a human-sized statue of Unit-02. Misshapen Conan and Ultraman are probably also favorites for many. The Eva Unit-01 is free to visit, and there is a paid exhibition at the Meet Museum Shanghai Jing'an nearby that you can visit. 🚉Transportation Strategy: You can walk from Wenshui Station, it's about a ten to twenty-minute walk. Once you get out of the subway, there's a small park nearby, and the flowers there are also blooming beautifully.

Many, many years ago, a friend borrowed a CD-ROM for me, which is full of people, Miyazakis "Spirited Away", "The Valley of the Wind", etc., as well as "Hidden Soul" and " The Evangelion-EVA is really opening a new horizon. At that time, I was lost in the confusion of Polly. It was really a zero machine, and there was a No. 1 machine. There was a first machine that was elevated shoulder-to-shoulder. The core was a very powerful character, violet. The colors at night and during the day are not the same. Entering the trail is an industrial park that has not yet been developed. The UFC, which is the ultimate fighting championship, stands up at the door and reflects the investment of Xin Jingan in the Shanghai cultural and sports industry. Going to the point can also see Conan, Altman, EVA No. 2 and Hatsune miku. There is also a pavilion in the direction of Wenshui Road, because I did not look carefully later. I should feel different during the day. Next time I took one, I took a few photos in a hurry and got a few mouthfuls of poisonous mosquitoes. Its quite close to home, so you can go shopping and go shopping in the Xiexin Square. It is close to Wenshui Road on Line 1, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk.
