Shanghai - Monument to the People's Heroes

The 17,000 pieces of marble and granite used to build the Monument to the People's Heroes in Shanghai's Huangpu Park, China, weigh over 10,000 metric tons.
Being of such high quality the Chinese monument is projected to last 800 to 1,000 years.
The 24-meter-high monument on a round-shaped island submerged in Huangpu river's water honors those who helped to free China from foreign occupation.

Monument to the People's Heroes - Shanghai China

The Monument to the People's Heroes, three gun-like towers in Shanghai's Huangpu Park, was built in the 1990s by the Shanghai municipal government in memory of the Chinese martyrs of the Opium War, the May 4th Movement and the War of Liberation as well as those who have lost their lives fighting natural disasters.
The monument, also called the Chopsticks Monument, was the first large scale memorial built in New China.
Towering 10 stories high, its northern facade is dominated by the inscription, "Eternal Glory to the People's Heroes" (in Mao Zedong’s handwriting).

Shanghai Confucius Temple - Wen Miao - Main Temple Building

No person has left a deeper mark on Chinese culture than Confucius, who lived 2500 years ago. He was a great thinker, educator, and founder of the Confucianism in China.
As the only Confucian temple in Shanghai, Shanghai Confucius Temple is sanctuary to cultivate the mind and pay respect to Confucius culture. It serves as a quiet retreat in the midst of an active and bustling Old Town Shanghai neighborhood.

Exquisite Jade Rock - Yu Garden - Shanghai

Yuyuan Garden ("Yu Garden"), located in the center of the Old City in Shanghai, China, is considered one of the most finest Chinese gardens in the region.
One of the true treasures of Yuyuan Garden is the Exquisite Jade Rock. The rock is 3.3 meters (~ 10.8 feet) in height and has 72 holes. What is interesting about this white jade rock is that if you burn a joss stick just below the rock, the smoke will magically float out from all of the holes. Similarly, when you pour water into the rock from top, the water will flow out from each hole creating a spectacular sight to see.

Hanging out in the streets of Shanghai

Hanging out down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do, but talk to you
We're all alright

Yu Gardens - A Classic Chinese garden in Shanghai

The Yu Gardens, also known as the Yu Yuan Garden, is likely the most celebrated classical Chinese garden in Shanghai. Yu Yuan Garden was first built in 1559 and it took workers almost 20 years to complete.
Yu Gardens' landscape seems to wind on forever - the gardens are purposefully designed to distort space and distance. Emblematic of the gardening style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Yu Garden is a maze of pavilions, grottoes, lotus ponds, and rickety bridges crossing lazy streams.

Dragon Wall - Yu Garden Shanghai

Many Yu Yuan Garden visitors head straight for the Five-Dragon Wall, a bounding monument to the storied mythical creature.
The Five-Dragon Wall subdivides Yu Garden, one of the most beautiful gardens in China, into six separate viewpoints, the Grand Rockery, Ten-Thousand-Flower Pavilion, Hall of Heralding Spring, Hall of Jade Magnificence, Inner Garden, and Lotus Pool.
Though there is no shortage of attractions in Shanghai, Yu Gardens is perfect for a relaxing stroll, a chance to get away from the chaos of Shanghai streets.

Yu Yuan Garden Shanghai

Yu Gardens: Located in the southern part of Shanghai, Yu Yuan Garden is a well-restored Suzhou-style garden. It is one of the best Chinese gardens in southern China.
With pavilions, halls, chambers, towers, ponds and rockeries, it presents more than 40 scenic spots. No wonder people say: "Those who have come to Shanghai but missed Yu Garden and the City God Temple Bazaar can not claim that they have been to the city."
