People's Square looks like an urban park, and yet it hides lots of interesting and surprising venues. From the marriage market on the weekend, to the underground mall near the Urban Planning museum, there's always something going on that will be interesting to see. More

Beautiful parks and architecture. I love People's Square. So much to see and do. I've lived in Shanghai for more than 6 years and I still love this touristy area. Fantastic Shanghainese restaurants tucked into the small side streets. More
