Wulixiang Shikumen Museum, Shanghai

Wulixiang Shikumen Musuem (Chinese: 屋里厢博物馆) is located No 25, Lane 181 Taicang Road, in Xintiandi of Shanghai. It is a themed exhibition hall that displays the traditonal Shanghai residental houses called Shikumen. “Wulixiang” literally means “home” in the Shanghai dialect. Over 70% of Shanghai residents were born and raised in Shikumen houses. However, Shikumen are now fast disapearing; downtown, only areas like Tianzifang and Xintiandi remain some.

The Exhibition Hall is in a renovated Shikumen house built in the 1920s. It covers a floor space of 367.2 square metres and a gross floor area of 513.9 square metres. It is modlled on a household in an alley. There are seven exhibition rooms: the sitting room, the study room, the elderly room, the master bedroom, the daughter’s room, the son’s room and the kitchen. It reapears how a typical family lived in Shanghai in the 1920s. All the articles on display, whether cooking ranges or children’s textbooks, lipsticks or ashtrays, are all genuine 1920s or 1930s things sourced in the Shikumen alleys.

The museum is near the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

The neighborhood was originally built in the 1930s. The houses were traditional local Shanghai residential buildings called ‘shikumen’, literally ‘stone doors’, which were built with stone doorframes and solid wooden doors, hence the name.

The City God Temple or Chenghuang Miao (Chinese:城隍庙) is a Taoist temple located in the Old City of Shanghai. It connects to the Yuyuan Garden, another landmark of the old city. Today the name of the temple not only refers to the large temple itself, but also the traditional shopping area surrounding the temple. There are over a hundred stores and shops in this area, and most of these store buildings are nearly a century old.

In ancient China, many walled cities contained a temple dedicated to one immortal or god as the spririt of the city. The City God Temple in Shanghai originated as the Jinshan God Temple, dedicated to the spirit of Jinshan (Gold Mountain), an island off the coast of Shanghai. It was converted into a City God Temple in 1403, during the Ming dynasty.In the Qing Dynasty, the temple grew popular. Residents of the old city as well as nearby areas visited the temple to pray for good fortune and peace, which led to many businesses being set up in the area, turning the surrounding streets into a busy marketplace.

The Temple, together with nearby Yuyuan Garden and the surrounding streets, are now part of a large pedestrian shopping zone. It is very a good place to gain the Shanghai food experience.

Jade Buddha Temple, Shanghai

Jade Buddha Temple (Chinese: 玉佛禅寺) is venerable and famous Buddhist temple in the modern Shanghai city. It was founded in 1882 to house two jade Buddha statues imported to the city from Burma by sea. The temple was destroyed during the revolution that overthrew the Qing Dyansty. Fortunately the statues were saved and a new temple was built on the present site in 1928. No matter you are a Buddhist or not, it is a worthy place to go, which would bring you some peace in heart.

The two jade statures are a sitting Buddha (1.95 metres tall, 3 tonnes), and a smaller reclining Buddha representing Buddha’s death. They are not only cultural relics but are outstanding artworks. The temple also contains a much larger reclining Buddha made of marble, donated from Singapore in 1989. Moreover there are many other ancient paintings and Buddhist scriptures distributed in the different halls here.

A pubilic restaurant serves inside the temple at the eastern edge. It serves a range of vegetable noodles, the most popular of which is ‘double mushroom noodles’ (shuang gu mian).

Admission Fee: 30 RMB

Yu Garden or Yuyuan Garden (Chinese: 豫园) is a famous Suzhou style classical garden in Shanghai and also a must when traveling to the city. It is located beside the City God Temple (Chenghuangmiao) and abuts the Yuyuan Market in the Old City of Shanghai. The garden is accessible from Yuyuan Garden Station of Shanghai Metro Line 10.

Yu Garden was first built in 1559 during the Ming Dynasty by a government officer called Pan Yunduan and was the largest and most prestigious of its era in Shanghai. It passed to different owers after the deline of the Pan family. The gardens suffered damage numerous times during the 19th century, such as by the British Army during the First Opium War, by the Small Swords Society during the Taiping Rebellion, and by the Japanese in 1942. The garden you see today is the result of a five year restoration project which began in 1956 by the Shanghai government. It was open to the public in 1961and declared a national monument in 1982 .

Today, Yu Garden occupies an area of 20,000 square meters (5 acres), and is divided into six general areas: Sansui Hall, Wanhua Chamber, Dianchun Hall, Huijing Hall, Yuhua Hall and the Inner Garden. Each area is separated from the others by “dragon walls” with undulating gray tiled ridges, each terminating in a dragon’s head. A centerpiece is the Exquisite Jade Rock across the Yuhua Hall. The rock is 3.3 meters tall and has 72 holes. There is an interesting thing about the rock. If you pour water into the rock from top, the water will flow out from each hole. Similarly, when you burn a joss stick just below the rock, the smoke will magically float out from all of the holes.

Admission Fee: 40 RMB (Apr.1-Jun.30; Sep.1-Nov.30); 30 Rmb (Jul. 1-Aug.31; Dec.1-the next Mar.31).
