the City God located in the bazaar It is a Taoist temple with a 600-year history There is a small mailbox and after entering you can collect three incenses for free After lunch I visited the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium It is the fourth largest aquarium in Asia and has the longest viewing tunnel in the world at 168 meters It's a great place to visit if you have children On your journey or if you enjoy marine life It is located next to the Oriental Temple which is another famous reason in Shanghai Take Metro Line 2 to Lujiazui Station and exit from Area 1 Coastal appearances are issued according to several habitat areas On the other hand I recommend visiting the Shanghai Museum one of the best museums in China Unfortunately it was closed during my inspection Located just 30 meters from the aquarium is a fried pastry shop This is a pan-fried xiaolongbao version that allows you to choose different flavors It's delicious and expensive so I recommend trying it Restaurants can be found in many cities and locations While in the Lujiazui area don't miss visiting the world's second-tallest tower the Shanghai Tower She walks along the street from Shanghai Aquarium Go to the tallest tower and walk towards it A good spot to capture three tall structures is on a high road Find it by searching for a group of people taking pictures Located at 632 meters high it is only second to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai Regarding height At 546 meters the viewing platform is the highest in the world A tip for visiting is that if the top of the tower is not visible from the ground Because of the rainy conditions you will not be able to see the ground from the observation deck The best time to visit is before it's too late so you can enjoy both day and night views To end the first day walk across the Huangpu River to Dubai using Take Metro Line 2 or 10 and ride to Nanjing West Station This area is the most iconic landmark in Shanghai With many buildings constructed in different international architectural styles during the colonial era At night the buildings on both sides of the Huangpu River are illuminated Showing the difference between past and present Shanghai On the second day the first destination is the Jade Buddha Temple Take Metro Line 13 to Jiangning Road Station and exit through Exit 4 It is an active Buddhist temple with about 70 monks living there The original temple built in 1882 was destroyed during the revolution against it The Qing dynasty and the temple were completed in 1928 It's not too old compared to the largest historical sites in China It remains a worthwhile place to visit for a spiritual experience Its highlight is the sitting Buddha and the descending Buddha which is made from most of the jade Therefore the name of the temple A famous temple to visit in Shanghai is the Jing'an Temple You can come here by taking Metro Line 2 or 7 to Jing'an Temple Station and exiting through Exit 1 This place is less popular than the Jade Buddha Temple However Jing'an Temple has a much longer history It was first built during the Three Kingdoms period in 247 AD and then moved to the current location during the Southern Song Dynasty in 1216 It was about 800 years ago At this point in my journey I spent two days in Suzhou and another two days in Hangzhou I will learn about these cities in different videos Therefore here I am spending time after

restaurants bars and cafes as you walk towards the city Most buildings date back to the Ming and Qing dynasties as far back as 1 700 years ago The place I recommend you check is Kezi Yuan Hexinyuan Fangsheng Bridge which is the largest bridge in Shanghai built in 1571 If you've been to a Chinese garden before what you see here is quite good However if it does not compare to the best Chinese garden in China it is located in Suzhou Back in Shanghai it's time to explore Nanjing Road This shopping area is a major shopping district in Shanghai Dan launched 5.5 km from Diban to the Jing'an
