万国博览建筑群 — Attraction in Shanghai

If you walk down the pedestrian shopping street from People's Square subway station towards the Bund riverside area, you may notice that the buildings start to change in style notably. The buildings are made of stone and are very different from traditional Chinese ones. You have entered the former German concession of Shanghai, the area once controlled by German interests.

The buildings are either elegant and sophisticated or oppressive and imposing depending on your perspective but they are definitely historically meaningful and impressive testaments to the colonial history of Shanghai.

I recommend wandering up and down a few of the narrow streets before ascending to the Bund itself. You will appreciate the juxtaposition of ultramodern skyscrapers across the rivers with the German edifices on this side even more.

Pro Tip Inside many of the old buildings are restaurants, hotels or areas you can access for a fee. Unless you are possessed by an overwhelming desire to part with a lot of money, you would do well to enjoy the buildings and get some nice photos...

before coming to shanghai, i have pretty high expectation but don’t feel impressed with the views in shanghai or feeling awesome when i see oriental pearl

so happy finally see these old buildings, this one is the most eye catching spot to me in shanghai loveyaya❤️, full of history and stories heree haaa
