Baiyun Guan Temple

A zig-zagging bridge near the City God Temple, the present construction dates from the early 20th century.

A well-known Taoist temple at the centre of the Old City, one of the biggest examples of traditional Chinese architecture in Shanghai. You can find local snacks and food as well as other traditional Chinese decorations in the surrounding commercial area.

A historic Buddhist temple, with a statue on the upper floor carved from a rare wood.

The small surviving part of the Shanghai city wall. A prominent feature is Dajing Tower. If you want to see a larger and better preserved wall, go to nearby Suzhou, or Nanjing.

The Temple to Confucius, with Shanghai's most famous vintage book market.

A traditional Chinese Ming-style private garden that was built in 1559 but ransacked and restored several times since then. Entrance price is worth it for the many exquisite Chinese pavilions, seemingly never-ending paths, and sculpted gardens within. Near the garden, the famous zigzag bridge and its teahouse (see Drink) can be visited. The bazaar near the garden is always crowded with tourists.
