People's Square (Renmin Guang Chang)
Shanghai's Famous Civic Space
Back to People's Square (Renmin Guang Chang)
Go check out the bar at the top of the old Shanghai Race Club (the old 1930s vintage clock tower building) The bar provides great views of the park and surrounding architecture and is a relaxing place to unwind after a day at the Shanghai Museum. This place has a great history back to the British colonial era when the current park was a horse track.

Not for the claustrophobic but I suggest visiting Shanghai Museum (20RMB entrance is a bargain) to see Chinese calligraphy, furniture, pottery, jade ornaments. Wander past the Grand Theatre, the Peoples' Government, Exhibition Hall and marvel at other surrounding buildings.

People's Square is an awesome area to visit while in Shanghai. Great shopping area underneath the metro. Fun atmosphere and has so much to do there. A great place to go and see how the people of Shanghai are.

This could be called the center point of Shanghai.

very original. We liked it becuase it's family friendly and it gave us something to do all day.

Very fun to people-watch in good weather, but otherwise another undistinguished public square in China. Like most, it's crowded and noisy, so if you don't like crowds, avoid this place.

You have got many to see. The museum, the exhibition hall, and the grand theater. The crystal-like theater is esp. beautiful at night with lights on.
