For those on a budget or short on time, you can take the ferry across to Pudong. This takes about 15 min and costs ¥2. One of the wharves is located at the Jinling East Road Zhongshan East 2nd Road crossing, as our map shows. Buy the plastic coin or use your metro card. The ferry will drop you in Pudong at the end of Dongchang Road. The best experience is to walk from there, but you can take line 1, which is a red bus probably waiting a few meters away when you arrive. The bus displays "陆家嘴金融城1路" meaning Lujiazui Financial City line 1, and it gets you to the Oriental Pearl Tower.
On the east side of People's Square in the old British district.
Beijing Opera or jīngjù (京剧) can be seen in the opera house on Fuzhou Lu 701, on the first corner on your right if you walk down Fuzhou Lu coming from Renmin Square. Chinese opera is very different from its Western counterpart, and you may want to listen to a sample to decide if you'll survive for three hours. Some operas include acrobatic stunts or martial arts displays (Jackie Chan was trained in Chinese opera), other focus more on singing, and sometimes a tourist-oriented mash-up is performed that includes "the best bits" from various works. Interest for this art-form is low from tourists and Shanghainese alike, so getting a ticket is not a problem. Show listings and staff are Mandarin-only though. Price is around ¥80.
