The European-style temple, constructed in 1927, was the centerpiece of what was once a ghetto inhabited by nearly 25,000 European Jews who landed here seeking safety, first from Russian pogroms, then from Hitler's Holocaust. The Shanghai Jews have long gone, but they left behind an eccentric little neighborhood in the middle of Shanghai with European-inspired row houses, a theater, the synagogue and several grand buildings

If Shanghai give you the impression of modern, you should visit here to know the other side of Shanghai, crowded, tattered, old street, the local citizen now still lives in the area. From the following picture, you even cannot believe, it's in the downtown of Shanghai, just near the Yuyuan Garden and Cheng Huang Miao area.

If you really want to see the ancient part of this region, head West out of Shanghai to the water town of Zhouzhuang, which is about 60 kms away. Zhouzhuang is just like Venice, but with a different type of charm and is recommended "off the beaten path" destination. However, there are also several other of such towns nearby which are less well-known (and therefore less commercialised), such as Zhujiajiao. Please visit my VT Zhouzhuang page for more information.

This is a nice and small park located at the Bund near to the Monument of the People's Heroes. Tourists in a rush will give this park a miss but it is a very nice place among the modern city. There is also nice flowers and a beautiful statue here.

Because Shanghai is such a packed city, the residential areas normally consists of high rise flats and the prices are among the highest in China. When you are exploring the city, you will come across lots of residential flats and condominiums.
