The Jade Buddha Temple is an active monastery and one of Shanghai’s most popular temples. Here, you can admire two exquisite jade Buddha statues and a vast collection of statues, relics, and art. Despite its relatively short history, the temple’s classical architectural style makes it a unique and irreplaceable landmark in this modern city. Whether you are a Buddhist or not, the peaceful and transcendent atmosphere offers a rich contrast to our busy modern lives. We will also have the opportunity to copy Buddhist Scriptures using a writing brush.
• Shanghai Jiangnan Silk Museum - After lunch, we will visit the Shanghai Silk Museum, which spans 6000 square meters and is located in the Huangpu District. The museum aims to promote Chinese silk culture and industry. China is the world’s largest silk producer, with most of its silk coming from mulberry silkworms. The museum features exhibits on silkworm cultivation, an elegant silk exhibition hall, silk reeling production, and exquisite silk products.

• Xintiandi - Xintiandi is a tourist attraction that preserves Shanghai’s historical and cultural features while integrating Chinese and Western cultures.

This area has become a trendy pedestrian street in the city center, representing the leisurely lifestyle of Shanghai’s new generation. Outdoor cafes, bars, and romantic restaurants are abundant.
• Shikumen Museum, Shanghai - This museum is housed in a preserved and renovated Shikumen house from the 1920s. It is designed to replicate a typical household from that era, with seven main exhibition rooms: the guest room, study room, old people’s room, master room, daughter room, pavilion room, and oven room. The museum tells the story of a Shikumen family, showcasing the unique architectural culture of Shanghai and the lifestyle of its residents in the 1920s. It is a great place to reminisce about old Shanghai and explore its historical memory.

Next, we will stroll along Nanjing Road and explore the surrounding communities and the thinnest building.

Stretching 5.5 kilometers, it features over 600 shops that attract an average of 1.7 million visitors daily. Here, you can find everything from affordable souvenirs to luxurious global brands. You can also explore the surrounding neighborhoods and the thinnest building, known as the Paper Building (纸片楼) on Ningbo Road. This building, once featured in the British Daily Mail, is considered one of the world’s flattest and thinnest buildings. Despite its unusual shape, it still houses many residents.

We will then transfer to Pudong to visit Shanghai’s financial district and the Oriental Pearl Tower.
