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 Dàjìng Gé Pavilion (上海古城墙和大境阁) is a museum and ancient temple of Shanghai, incorporating the last remaining portions of the walls of the Old City of Shanghai. Most of the walls were dismantled in 1912, and today only this portion remains.
