Discovering the old and the new
by Fiona Mills
The buildings of Shanghai are simply breathtaking in their size and diversity. The city has an impressive number of modern skyscrapers – more than a thousand, according to some counts – that are in sharp contrast to several styles of architecture from different time periods.
The Bund offers the perfect tour of sophisticated European buildings, many constructed in the mid-1800s to early 1900s in various gorgeous styles, including Renaissance, Baroque and neo-classical. The area is attractively situated along the Huangpu River. Look across the Huangpu for one of the city's most intriguing architectural contrasts: Pudong, with buildings that look like they belong in a science-fiction movie. Here, you'll immediately notice Shanghai's most famous building, the Oriental Pearl Tower. It's definitely not the world's most beautiful building, but it is one of the tallest (at 468 meters) and most unusual. The spire and antennas reach an impressive 118 meters high. Near the Pearl is the Shanghai World Financial Center, which, with 101 floors, is China's tallest building.
Don't miss the former French Concession, which has a special place in my heart. The comparatively quiet streets are lined with French architecture and vibrant green trees. Two favorite buildings are the Little Red House, which used to be a record company and is now a restaurant; and the Normandie, an exquisite, eight-story apartment building that invites you to dream about how the people of Shanghai lived in the 1930s.
Shanghai's Shikumen houses are a masterful blend of Chinese and European stone architecture. Each house features a large, stone entrance that opens up onto a small courtyard. The Old City is the best place to see traditional Chinese architecture. Shanghai's Temple of the Town God was first constructed in the early 15th century. The temple is topped with the delicately profound arches of traditional Chinese roofs.
All in all, there's more to Shanghai than meets the eye. Whether you're a slave to modern architectural fashions, or prefer getting lost down traditional tree-lined streets with old buildings to either side, there's something in Shanghai for everyone.
