Hidden Gem Shaped Like a Ship: Shanghai Workers’ Cultural Palace 🚢

#chinatravel Just steps from People’s Square stands the Shanghai Workers’ Cultural Palace—once the grand Oriental Hotel of the 1930s. This ship-like neoclassical building isn’t just an architectural curiosity; it’s a deep dive into the city’s labor history and culture. Inside, you’ll find the Shanghai Craftsmen Gallery on the first floor, exhibits on the former hotel’s golden days upstairs, and rotating exhibitions like the “Shanghai Labor Union History” on the top floor. A favorite among old Shanghainese, it remains a quiet but meaningful cultural landmark. Free entry. #travel #trip #china #staycation #thingstodo #myitinerary
