Mugi Yamamoto

Very nice park near xintiandi where you can see crowds dancing in the morning and evenings. There are little lakes and it has a very relaxing atmosphere.

A Taiwanese chain store with very delicious food. I can recommend all the dumplings and steamed buns.
Staff speaks English and there is an English menu.
The restaurant is very clean and you can observe the dumpling making process through the big windows to the kitchen.
The only thing to complain is the high price compared to local shops, but you get high quality and English service.

The exhibits and curation were ok but lacking in attention to detail and execution details. There were a lot of unfilled rooms and floors under construction.
The building itself was very disappointing. Definitely not Jean Nouvels best work. The view of the bund is nice though but not this architect’s achievement.

Honestly the best spot to get a great „Shanghai view“ and a must for tourists.
In winter the benches are heated so you can enjoy the view longer. There are a bunch of nice restaurants nearby and restrooms are available.
I recommend starting here and walking south along the river to see more of the Skyscrapers and the Bund, or west along Suzhou creek (the small river) to discover old Shanghai.
