The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel - Who needs LSD ?
by MaosRedArmy
Welcome to Shanghai's version of the TWILIGHT ZONE.
If you want to take a "unique" ride in a plastic bubble car under the Huanpu River, then you have come to the right place!
This ride takes you from the PuXi Waterfront (the Bund) to the PuDong Waterfront area (or vice versa) and takes about 5 minutes.
The entire sightseeing tunnel is lined with flashing, strobing, and pulsing lights in all shapes, sizes and colors. I definitely think the person that designed this ride either a) loves to take pyschodelic drugs;. or b) is stuck somewhere in the 1960s; or c) both. I am surprised Hunter S. Thompson hasn't already written about this ride.
If you have children and want to keep them occupied OR if you and your buddies are loaded and want to kick up your buzz, this is for you.
One way ride = 20RMB
Round-trip = 30RMB
Highway
by simcard
There are a few major highway routes in Shanghai. Such as the South-North Highway (Nan Bei Gao Jia) and Yan'an Highway.. You can take the same route by traveling on the ground level, but these highway routes are above the ground level. Speed limit is higher and also there's no stop lights on the highway. When you take a taxi, the driver will usually give u options if u want to go up to the highway or just stay on the ground level.. sometimes the distance can be much bigger if u take the highway route.. but believe me.. you still rather take that because the traffic, especially during rush hour is just horrible on the ground level. It can end up costing u more time and money, and sitting in annoying traffic noise.
THE ANCIENT CITY OF...
by viajeromaga
THE ANCIENT CITY OF SHANGHAI.... What a contrast this city has. After a quick ride on elevated roads and after flying among the building on the high bridges of Shanghai, you arrive at the ancient city. It was like traveling through time.
Walk on its narrow streets and looking at the people browsing around is something you must experience.
Shanghai Monument to the People's Heroes
by sunnywong
Shanghai Monument to the People's Heroes locates in the Huang Pu Park once notorious for "Chinese and dog are forbidden". It reminds tourists of the past history. Three-gun-shaped statue stands in remembrance of the martyrs who died in the Opium War, the May Fourth Movement and China's War of Liberation. It is of great significance.
