City God Temple Tourist Area: As a "living fossil" of Shanghai's history and culture, it is the first choice for first-time visitors to quickly experience Shanghai's customs. Here, you can stroll through the quaint blocks and appreciate the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The Bund: Is the core area of Shanghai's "World Architecture Expo Group", which brings together dozens of modern buildings with different styles, from Gothic, Baroque to Neoclassical. Each building carries Shanghai's century-old history.
Humble Administrator's Garden: As the first of China's four famous gardens and the pinnacle of Jiangnan gardens, its highlights lie in "landscape artistic conception + garden art."
Hanshan Temple: It is famous for its "historical heritage + poetic and pictorial artistic conception." With a history of more than 1,400 years, it has its own heavy cultural filter. The legend that the famous monks Hanshan and Shide of the Tang Dynasty lived here adds a mysterious color to it.
Shantang Street Area: It takes the "water town pattern with land and water side by side" as its core highlight. The street presents a unique form of "river and street adjacent, land and water side by side", which is a typical representative of the water town style in Suzhou.
