Shanghai History Museum

#NewYearNewTrip For history lovers, I would like to recommend the Shanghai History Museum, located at 325 Nanjing West Road, Huangpu District. It is an interesting place for those who want to learn about the history and culture of Shanghai. The museum has a collection of more than 30,000 items, of which about 18,000 are related to the modern history of the city. Interesting items include cannons used in the First Opium War, ancient palanquins, and bronze lions that used to stand in front of the HSBC Bank on the Bund. The exhibits are a great place to learn about the development of Shanghai from prehistoric to modern times through a variety of exhibits. In addition, the museum building is a neoclassical architecture that used to be the home of the Shanghai Horse Racing Club, which adds to the charm and historical value of the place. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and admission is free. It is recommended to allow at least 2-3 hours to fully explore and immerse yourself in the history of the city. For those interested in the history and culture of Shanghai, the Shanghai History Museum is a must-see.
