All day Yu Garden Yu Garden is located in the northeast of the old city of Shanghai, adjoining with the City God Temple. It is a world famous classical garden in the southern Yangtze which was built more than 400 years ago in the Ming Dynasty. It is regarded as one of the representatives of the traditional culture in Shanghai. It displays the main features of traditional Chinese architecture with many rocks, trees, ponds, dragons, and zigzag bridges.
Town God‘s Temple of Shanghai Town God’s Temple of Shanghai or Temple of the City Gods, officially the City Temple of Shanghai, is a folk temple located in the old city of Shanghai. It commemorates the elevation of Shanghai to municipal status and is the site of the veneration of three Chinese figures honored as the city gods of the town.
Shanghai Museum The Shanghai Museum is a museum of ancient Chinese art, situated on the People's Square in the Huangpu District of Shanghai, China. Rebuilt at its current location in 1996, it is considered one of China's first world-class modern museums and famous for its large collection of rare cultural pieces. The museum has a collection of over 120,000 pieces, including bronze, ceramics, calligraphy, furniture, jades, ancient coins, paintings, seals, sculptures, minority art and foreign art. The Shanghai Museum houses several items of national importance, including one of three extant specimens of a "transparent" bronze mirror from the Han Dynasty.
Shanghai French Concession The Shanghai French Concession was a foreign concession in Shanghai, China from 1849 until 1943, which progressively expanded in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The concession came to an end in 1943, when Vichy France under German pressure signed it over to the pro-Japanese Reorganized National Government of China in Nanjing. For much of the 20th century, the area covered by the former French Concession remained the premier residential and retail district of Shanghai and was also one of the centers of Catholicism in China. Despite re-development over the last few decades, the area retains a distinct character and is a popular tourist destination.
The Bund The Bund or Waitanis is a waterfront area and a protected historical district in central Shanghai. The area centers on a section of Zhongshan Road (East Zhongshan Road No.1) within the former Shanghai International Settlement, which runs along the western bank of the Huangpu River in the eastern part of Huangpu District. The area along the river faces the modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui in the Pudong District. The Bund usually refers to the buildings and wharves on this section of the road, as well as some adjacent areas. This region has a significant European influence, with the style of many structures most comparable to that of European cities, particularly Gothic, Baroque, Neoclassical, Romanesque, Art Deco, and Renaissance architecture.
Nanjing Road, Shanghai Nanjing Road is a road in Shanghai, the eastern part of which is the main shopping district of Shanghai. It is one of the world's busiest shopping streets, along with Fifth Avenue, Oxford Street, Orchard Road, Takeshita Street and the Champs-Élysées. Nanjing Road is the world's longest shopping district, around 5.5 km long, and attracts over 1 million visitors daily. As a century-old shopping street in Huangpu District, Shanghai, Nanjing Road was a witness of the city's history. Over time, it has been restructured, undergoing significant changes. Big traditional stores no longer dominate the market since modern shopping malls, specialty stores, theaters, and international hotels have mushroomed on both sides of the street.

All day The Dujiangyan Irrigation System The Dujiangyan Irrigation System, located on the main stream of the Minjiang River west of Dujiangyan City, was built around 256 BC by Li Bing, the prefect of Shu Commandery during the Qin Dynasty, and his son. It is one of the most well-preserved ancient water conservancy projects in China. The project consists of three main components: the Yuzui Diversion Dike, the Feishayan Spillway, and the Baopingkou Water Diversion Inlet, along with ancillary works such as the Baizhang Dike and the Renzi Dike. These divert water from the turbulent Minjiang River into the Outer River and the Inner River, allowing floodwaters to be drained from the Outer River and diverted for irrigation, transforming the western Sichuan plain into a "land of abundance." "Yuzui" is the Dujiangyan water diversion project, named for its fish[1]like shape. Located in the center of the Minjiang River, it divides the river into two. The western side, known as the Outer River, commonly known as the "Golden Horse River," is the main stream of the Minjiang River and primarily used for flood drainage. The eastern side, known as the Inner River, is an artificial water diversion conduit for irrigation. The Feishayan diversion works primarily to allow excess water to overflow from the Feishayan dike when the Inner River exceeds the Baopingkou flow limit. In the event of a major flood, the dike can also breach, allowing a large amount of water to return to the main Minjiang River. While seemingly unassuming, it bears the heavy responsibility of preventing floods and serves as a protective barrier for Yuzui and Baopingkou. Baopingkou, serving as a "regulating sluice," is a gap carved into the long ridge of the Qianshan Mountains (now known as Guankou Mountain and Yulei Mountain) that extends into the Minjiang River. It's named for its bottle-mouth-like shape. The hill to the right of Baopingkou, separated from the main mountain, is named Lidui. Before the construction of Baopingkou, Lidui was part of Hutouyan Rock on Xianshan Mountain. Due to its magnificent natural scenery, Baopingkou is known as "Lidui Locking the Gorge" and is one of the historically renowned "Ten Scenic Spots of Guanyang." Its greatest strength lies in its enduring success over 2,250 years after its construction, and its continued effectiveness continues to grow.
Du Fu Thatched Cottage Also known as the Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum, it is located on the banks of Huanhua Creek outside the west gate of Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It is the former residence of Du Fu, the great realist poet of the Tang Dynasty, during his stay in Chengdu.

This is the perfect place to experience the charm of Zhangjiajie's "Three Thousand Strange Peaks."

This is linked by a raised sacred way to the circular, three-tiered, conically roofed Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests further to the north. Here at these places the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties as interlocutors between humankind and the celestial realm offered sacrifice to heaven and prayed for bumper harvests. To the west is the Hall of Abstinence where the emperor fasted after making sacrifices. The siting, planning, and architectural design of the Temple of Heaven as well as the sacrificial ceremony and associated music were based on ancient tenets relating numbers and spatial organization to beliefs about heaven and its relationship to people on earth, mediated by the emperor as the “Son of Heaven”. Other dynasties in China have built altars for worshipping the heaven, but the Temple of Heaven in Beijing is the masterpiece of ancient Chinese culture and is the representative work of numerous sacrificial buildings in China.
