Shanghai Auto Museum — Attraction in Shanghai

Car museum located in the Anting Shanghai International Auto City area. Definitely a must see if you are interested in cars especially classic cars. 60 RMB for an adult ticket. Open Tuesday-Sunday 9:30am to 4:30pm. Closed earlier in the day than expected so take note to get there earlier. I easily spent over 3 hours browsing the 3 floors of cars and information. First floor has the history of the automobile from the wheel to the first diesel engine, auto transmission, and assembly line. Lots of cool stuff to see. Next floor has a history of the automobile in China. 3rd floor is comprised of antique classic car collections and an extended range of miniature car models. On the top level there is a learning and discovering area for children and adults which teaches you about how cars work and the parts of the car (engine combustion cycle, transmission, suspension, steering, etc.) All of the children's stuff is in Chinese however. Also F1 racing simulators on this level. There is a gift shop by the entrance that sales lots of miniature car models. Great if you can occupy yourself, not many guide options and only restroom I saw was on the top floor. Definitely check it out for the...

Yes Jag E type here. Yes Mazda cosmo here. And certainly yes, our favourite, good old VW type 1. And that is it. If you are expecting something more, such as a Toyota 2000? No. Skyline? No. Bubble cars? Two, or 1.5 since one of them doesn't really "bubble" . Classic mini? There is a Cooper though... Minor brands literally disappeared. The only survived Japanese brands were Toyota, Mazda and Honda, Nissan somehow made it outside but that doesn't really count. So Subarists, Suzuki believers and Mitsubishi lovers (well, that's me), leave and don't waste your time here. There are, some modern arts about the parts of the car. But if you want to see so, the yokohama Nissan gallery opens a GTR for you. You can see it clearly and closely. BTW, no GTRs in the museum. There are some old pictures for wasting time and space, and old fashioned non-car-related items, but only a few cars. There are some hongqis, the Chinese luxury cars for politicians. You probably can't see them elsewhere but they are basically copycats of the soviet...

Informative and interactive museums!

A large collection of antique cars.

You can rent an audio player to guide you thru, there is English and mandarin option.

The cafe on the top floor is ok, we only got a coffee. And btw you are allowed to bring along the coffee when you browse.

There is a “Antique Car Experience” for paying about ¥300 which already includes 2adults and 1 or 2 children entrance tickets. A 20 mins ride to a nearby park where you can take good look at the car and take photos!

This museum gives you the history of automobile from invention, to adding speed elements, to modifications and manufactures.

It is almost like the Patterson automobile museum in LA, if you...
