Pudong Mosque

A joint venture between the American school and East China Normal University. Most courses are taught in English. As of 2016 it had 1200 students, all undergraduate.

This is mainly a center for the performing arts with three theaters of various sizes. There is also an exhibition area.

The eastern branch of the Shanghai Museum opened to the public in February 2024. It specializes in ancient art, including bronzeware, jade, ceramics and calligraphy. Visitors are required to make a booking before visiting the museum, as visitor numbers are capped at 8000 per day. Bookings can be made on the museum’s WeChat mini program.

Focuses on Western Science. Entertaining and educational for children. The building is quite impressive.

This is Shanghai's biggest park. Unfortunately, there is a lot of concrete and paved roads, and many areas have vegetation that is still under development or poorly cared for. Still a good and relaxing get-away. Bike rental available (expensive, from ¥40 per hour).

Opened in 2008 and is Shanghai's second tallest building at 492 m. There are three viewing levels on floors 94, 97 and 100. The observation level allows you to look down on the tall neighboring Jinmao and Oriental Pearl Towers. However, a better view of the river and the Bund can be obtained from the lower sphere of the Oriental Pearl than from the SWFC. An alternative to the observation decks is to go to one of the hotel bars or restaurants on or near the 98th floor.
