The Tian Ma Country Club is a beautiful 18 hole golf course situated some 40 minutes south west of downtown Shanghai. The course is undulating and not all that difficult but there are some rather challenging holes to test the intermediate player!! I played here with friends on 16/6/2002.\

Chinese history and art at the Shanghai Museum
by thescene
The beautiful Shanghai museum located near People's Square and Nanjing Road showcases a variety of Chinese art work from ancient times and the near past. This immense collection is housed on multiple floors and shows how the Chinese has developed through the centuries. A very nice thing to do while in Shanghai.
Admission to the place is FREE of charge. With that in mind be sure to go there as early as possible. This place is normally packed and you may have to wait a long time in line if you come late.
Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank Building
by Willettsworld
Perhaps the most famous building of all on the Bund, The HSBC Building (No.12, The Bund), now used by the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, was once the Shanghai headquarters of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. The bank failed to reach a deal with the Shanghai government to buy the building again in the 1990s, when the Shanghai government moved out of the building that they had used since the 1950s. The present building was completed in 1923 and, at the time, was called "the most luxurious building between the Suez Canal and the Bering Strait".
Out of feng shui considerations, the bank ordered two bronze lions from the United Kingdom at the time of construction, to be placed outside the front doors. The two lions were named after the Hong Kong branch manager, A.G. Stephen, and the Shanghai branch manager, G.H. Stitt respectively. However, they were taken away by the Japanese during World War II. In 1997, when the Pudong Development Bank moved into the building, a copy of the original lions were made and placed in front of the building.
