The 25.06-meter-tall EVA Unit-01 statue holds the Guinness World Record as the largest anime sculpture in the world. Modelled after the iconic mecha from the Japanese anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, it is a free, permanent landmark.
静安寺
This is a large Buddhist temple; the name translates as Temple of Peace and Tranquility. It is said to have been built in 247 CE, making it over 1750 years old.
Small house in traditional style that housed Mao Tse Tung during his early days in the Chinese Communist Party. Preserved as a (very) small museum. Possibly the most interesting aspect is the fact that his once humble home is now surrounded by one of Shanghai's most expensive shopping malls full of luxury shops and hotels!
上海自然博物馆
All the impressive acts of a Chinese circus packed into one 90 minute show. The location is easy to walk by as the theater is hidden inside a hotel. Tickets are best bought in advance, especially for weekend shows. The good acts are up right from the start, so don't be late! An alternative is the Shanghai Circus in Zhabei.
