Top 8 Shanghai Scenic Spots


The new Best Eight, both natural and man-made, represent Shanghai’s culture, history and development. They were picked by more than 33,700 people from all walks of life.

More than 300 scenic areas were recommended. The administration released a bilingual book last month to introduce the eight spots and 100 other candidates that did not make the final cut.

1. The morning bell of the Bund (wai tan chen zhong外滩晨钟)
2. The refined rhythm of Yuyuan Garden (yu yuan ya yun豫园雅韵)
3. The new splendor of the old Shikumen (jiu li xin hui旧里新辉)
4. Miles of neon light (shi li ni hong十里霓虹)
5. The green of Sheshan Hill (she shan shi cui佘山拾翠)
6. Folk art in Fengjing Town (feng jing xun hua枫泾寻画)
7. Grand skyscraper city views (mo tian lan sheng摩天览胜)
8. Elegant water views around Dianshan Lake (dian hu huan xiu淀湖环秀)
