因此，象鼻山是桂林的城徽山，是桂林旅游的标志山，它坐落在桂林市中心的漓江与桃花江汇流处，形似一头巨象，象鼻和象腿之间是面积约一百五十平米的圆洞，江水穿洞而过，如明月浮水。

坐落西岸的象山水月与漓江东岸的穿月岩相对，一挂于天，一浮于水，形成“漓江双月”的奇特景观。

It is the largest, most authentic and complete ancient temple complex in the city of Shanghai.

鲁迅公园，原称虹口公园，位于上海东江湾路146号。清光绪二十二年（1896年），上海公共租界工部局在界外的北四川路底购得农田237.288亩，在此圈地筹建万国商团打靶场，由英国园艺设计师，根据英国格拉斯哥体育公园模式，建成“虹口娱乐场”。1905年改建为虹口体育游戏场和打靶场。1922年改名为“虹口公园”。

虹口公园开了上海乃至中国现代体育运动的风气之先。作为大型综合性体育公园，园内共有1个九孔高尔夫球场，75片草地网球场，8片硬地网球场，3片足球场，5片草地滚球场，还有曲棍球篮球、棒球、田径等场地。根据工部局统计，民国24年（1935年），租界外侨总共才3．8万人，而仅在虹口公园一处直接参加体育活动的就达86103人次，在虹口公园打高尔夫还要排队。

Shanghai Attractions

Shanghai, as a metropolis, has so many attractive scenic spots, which has become one of the important reasons for visiting.

The Bund:
The Bund is a waterfront and the most famous landmark in Shanghai, it represents the old time and the new days of Shanghai.

The Bund is from an Anglo Indian term meaning the muddy embankment on the waterfront, it helps to create the colonial feel and provides a feeling of space.

It starts from the Bai Bridge, which is at the connecting point of the Huangpu River and the Suzhou Creek, to the East Jinling Road and winds a 1500 meters (less than one mile) length.

At the west shore of the Huangpu River, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower can be seen on the opposite side so as the Jin Mao Tower.

At the north end of the Bund and just over the Garden Bridge and Suzhou Creek, formerly it was the British embassy. Also here is a large and atmospheric blue painted building which is the Russian Embassy, sitting on the bank of the river. In colonial times, the Bridge was guarded by Japanese and British sentries, making the boundaries of territory.

On the west side of the Bund tower, there are various buildings of different architectural styles including Gothic, baroque, Romanesque, Classicism and the Renaissance. The combination creates a unique boulevard, which resembles the Liverpool Docks and 1920s New York.

The Bund is worth visiting if you go to Shanghai. In the evening, you can go to the Bund with your friends, to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Bund. While couples can wander along the bank waterfront, holding hands to experience the wonderful moment.

Yuyuan Garden:
Yuyuan garden is situated in the southwestern side of the city, not far from the Bund. Yuyuan Garden, a place of peace and comfort in the heart of bustling Shanghai, it is the largest of Shanghai's ancient gardens with architectural styles of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

There are more than 40 scenic spots scattered throughout the garden, which is divided into six parts by five boundary walls. The six scenic areas include the Grand Rockery- the most renowned sight in southeastern China, the Ten Thousand-Flower Pavilion, the Hall of Heralding Spring, the Hall of Jade Magnificence, the Inner Garden, and the Lotus Pool.

Yuyuan began as a private garden created by Pan Yunyuan, who spent almost 20 years - and all of his savings - to build a garden in order to please his parents in their old age.

Due to the decline of Pan's family after Pan Yuan's death, Yuyuan graally fell into disuse. Although the garden was improved by the local signiors, several civil conflicts in the mid-19th century caused great damage. In 1956, after Shanghai's liberation, the city government reconstructed the garden and refurbished its mien and beauty as in the old days. Yuyuan Garden was finally reopened to the public in 1961, and the State Department declared it a national monument in 1982. Now Yuyuan Garden attracts countless visitors at home and abroad every year.

The present-day Yuyuan occupies an area of two hectares (5 acres) and is built in a style associated with the renowned Suzhou gardens, which are characterized by an exquisite layout, beautiful scenery and artistic architecture. Each pavilion, hall, stone and stream in the garden expresses the essence of South China's landscape design from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Yuyuan Garden covers a significant space and includes a few halls, springs and other buildings of interest. The Queen of England visited here recently and took tea in the famous Huxinting Tea House. The tea house is something of an institution around these parts and quite quaint and interesting, it is extortionately over-priced.

What is nice about this area are the numerous antique markets and the small side streets which have yet to be renovated by the authorities. There is a great antique market just off Shanghai "Old street" and another on a small alley called Dongtai Lu. Be prepared to bargain hard in these places though. Some of the stuff is genuine but other "antiques" are less authentic and its slightly worrying that the most popular English word in these places seems to be "very old, very cheap"!

Nanjing Road:
Nanjing Road was the first commercial road in Shanghai. In the early 20th century, there were only four department stores along this stretch. Now it is the top shopping center of the city, a must-see metropolitan destination attracting thousands of fashion-seeking shoppers from all over the world. It is fantastically located, stemming off the Huangpu River and the Bund at a right angle and linking the city's main commercial and residential districts to the mouth of the river. The road to the east of Tibet Road is called East Nanjing Road while the road to the west is known as West Nanjing Road.

In the evenings, the street looks at its best, with neon lights and advertising billboards illuminating the glorious buildings along the road.

After the Opium War (1839-1842), Shanghai became a treaty port. Nanjing Road was first the British Concession, then the International Settlement. Importing large quantities of foreign goods, it became the earliest shopping street in Shanghai.

Over time, Nanjing Road has been restructured, undergoing significant change. For shopping convenience, its eastern end has an all-weather pedestrian arcade. Big traditional stores no longer dominate the market since modern shopping malls, specialty stores, theatres, and international hotels have mushroomed on both sides of the street.

Nowadays, over 600 businesses on Nanjing road offer countless famous brands, superior quality, and new fashions. KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and other world-famous food vendors line both sides of the street. Upscale stores include Tiffany, Mont Blanc, and Dunhill are also available. In addition, approximately a hundred traditional stores and specialty shops still provide choice silk goods, jade, embroidery, wool, and clocks.

Open-air bars, abstract sculptures, and lingering sounds from street musicians enhance evening strolls. A trackless sightseeing train provides a comfortable tour of the night-transformed pedestrian street. Flashing neon signs illuminate the magnificent buildings and spangle the night skyline of this lively city.

Xian Tian Di:
Xin Tian Di will be your closest match to what Lan Kwai Fong is in Hong Kong. Indeed, this ambitious area was built by Hong Kong's Shui On Group and contains stylish and expensive shops, pubs and restaurants. Prices for food generally start at RMB 200 but if you head into the 'mall' complex at Xin Tian Di south, you will find a McDonalds and a few medium-end restaurants where you can save your wallet from certain destruction. The Shikumen houses have been renovated to meet modern tastes and do not resemble anything you will find in traditional Shikumen areas.

Before the development of Shanghai Xin Tian Di, the area had been a spread of aged lanes crowded with mid-19th century Shikumen buildings which had witnessed the changes. The Shikumen style was a combination of influences from home and abroad, showing Shanghai's culture of that time.

Xin Tian Di Plaza is divided into North and South Blocks:
In the South Block, modern architecture is the motif while Shikumen is an accompaniment. In the north, preserved Shikumen set a nostalgic tone, forming a splendid contrast with the modernity to the south. A shopping, entertainment and leisure complex of 25,000 square meters in the South Block opened in mid 2002. Apart from a series of international restaurants representing the flavours of the world, there are classy boutiques, accessory shops, a food court, a cinema and a great one-stop fitness centre.

In the North Block, antique buildings with their modern interior design, decorations and equipment play host to a dazzling array of restaurants specializing in French, American, German, British, Brazilian, Italian, Japanese, Taiwanese and Hong Kong cuisine, putting on display the full international dimension of Shanghai Xin Tian Di. The dividing line between the two blocks, Xingye Road, is the site of the First Congress Hall of the Chinese Communist Party.

There are also Taipingqiao Lake and Park in central Xin Tian Di, which cover 44,000 square meters. Inside the park are tall trees and low-lying greenery, affording visitors a serene resting place. The lake is the largest man-made lake in downtown Shanghai, covering 12,000 square meters. At the centre of the lake are a set of impressive fountains and two little islets dotting the surface. The islets are named Magnolia and Unison.

When people walk on the gray flagstones and see the red and black bricks, lacquered doors and Baroque doorframes, they will feel as if they are back half a century. The scent of international food compound, the first-class service, and the blend of architecture, all formed the character of Shanghai Xin Tian Di.

Jade Buddha Temple (Yufo Si):
Jade Buddha Temple (Yufo Si) was built ring the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1875-1909) and burned down in the early 20th century. In 1918, Jade Buddha Temple was rebuilt on Anyuan Road. The construction of the temple is in the magnificent architectural style of the Song Dynasty. The temple is composed of several compounds such as the Halls of Heavenly Kings, the Main Hall, the Hall of the Sleeping Buddha and the Hall of the Jade Buddha. There are monks currently living in the Temple and the Temple houses Shanghai Buddhist Institute. Many ancient statues, paintings, a complete set of Buddhist scriptures (printed in the Qing Dynasty) and over 7000 Dazang sutras are kept.

In the temple, there are two precious jade Buddhist statues. They are not only rare cultural relics but also porcelain artworks. Both the Sitting Buddha and the Recumbent Buddha are carved with whole white jade. The sparkling and crystal-clear white jade gives the Buddhas the beauty of sanctity.

The Sitting Buddha is 190 centimeters high and encrusted by the agate and the emerald, portraying the Buddha at the moment of his meditation and enlightenment. The Recumbent Buddha is 96 centimeters long, lying on the right side with the right hand supporting the head and the left hand placing on the left leg, this shape is called the 'lucky repose'. The sedate face shows the peaceful mood of Sakyamuni when he left this world. Furthermore there are many other ancient paintings and Buddhist scriptures distributed in the different halls of the temple.

Oriental Pearl TV Tower:
The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is located in Pudong Park in Lujiazui, Shanghai. The tower, surrounded by the Yangpu Bridge in the northeast and the Nanpu Bridge in the southwest, creates a picture of 'twin dragons playing with pearls'. The entire scene is a photographic jewel that excites the imagination and attracts thousands of visitors year-round.

Outer tower:
This 468 meters high (1,536 feet) tower is the world's third tallest TV and radio tower surpassed in height only by towers in Toronto, Canada and Moscow, Russia. However, even more alluring than its height is the tower's unique architectural design that makes the Oriental Pearl TV Tower one of the most attractive places anywhere. The base of the tower is supported by three seven-meter wide slanting stanchions. Surrounding the eleven steel spheres that are 'strung' vertically through the center of the tower are three nine-meter wide columns. There are three large spheres including the top sphere, known as the space mole. Then there are five smaller spheres and three decorative spheres on the tower base. The entire structure rests on rich green grassland and gives the appearance of pearls shining on a jade plate.

Inner tower:
The inner tower is a recreational palace, while the Shanghai Municipal History Museum is located in the tower's pedestal. The large lower sphere has a futuristic space city and a fabulous sightseeing hall. From here, on a clear day a visitor can see all the way to the Yangtze River. The base of the tower is home to a science fantasy city. The five smaller spheres are a hotel that contains twenty-five elegant rooms and lounges. The pearl at the very top of the tower contains shops, restaurants, (including a rotating restaurant) and a sightseeing floor. The view of Shanghai from this height fills you with wonder at the beauty that surrounds you. When viewed from the Bund at night, the tower's three-dimensional lighting makes it a delight of brilliant color.

It deserves the name'Oriental Pearl TV Tower'.
