Activities for today: Yu Garden, Jade Buddha Temple, Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, Shanghai World Financial Center
Launch your city tour this morning with a visit to Yu Garden. Built in 1559, the garden still reserves finely structured pavilions, winding cloisters, decorated walls and crystal pond and demonstrates the architecture and design style of China’s classical gardens. Continue to visit the Jade Buddha Temple. Founded in 1882 with two jade Buddha statues imported to Shanghai from Burma, the temple draws from both the Pure Land and Chan traditions of Mahayana Buddhism. Go on to Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall (Center) which is the first hall showcasing a city's past, the present and the future of the development in China.
Afternoon, proceed to Shanghai World Financial Center. This 492-metre-high building is an eye-catching sight that is even more spectacular at night. The building’s observation decks on levels 94, 97 and 100 offer some of the best panoramic views of Shanghai and if you get a bit peckish there are restaurants that you can dine at during the day or at night.
