There are many shopping facilities in Shanghai, and the selection of goods is nearly the same as that of any international city. Nanjing Lu, China's best-known shopping street, cuts from east to west through Shanghai and offers just about everything. Many bookstores can be found parallel to Nanjing Lu in Fuzhou Lu. Shanghai also offers plenty of fitness centers and gyms.

The Shanghai Museum was opened in 1996 to offer a spectacular collection of exhibits. Its 11 state-of-the-art galleries house China's first international-standard exhibits of paintings, bronzes, sculptures, ceramics, calligraphy, jade, Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, coins, seals and minority art. The bronze collection is reputedly the best in the world.

The Yangpu and Nanpu Bridges are the world's fourth longest and largest cable-stayed suspension bridges. Both of them have sidewalks and elevators for visitors. The Yuyuan Garden, located in the southern part of the city, is divided into five parts with 30 scenic spots, and is called the most magnificent rockery of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) in southeast China.
