What makes Shanghai Uncommon Historic Sites Tour a unique experience ?
Explore this colonial-era mansion is in the French Concession area and was built by Eric Moller, who became wealthy from British shipping, in 1936. The distinctive design includes brown tiled Gothic and Tudor gables, spires, and steeples. It has been renovated to preserve its original style and today houses a hotel and is a great place for afternoon tea and strolling along the gardens.
This unique complex of restaurants and shops once housed the Shanghai Municipal Council Slaughterhouse, the largest slaughterhouse in Shanghai. It is described by the Atlas Obscura travel guide as "an eerie Gotham-Deco achievement in concrete, glass, and steel, and the last remaining of its design in the world." Curved staircases, bridged walkways, and thick walls give the complex a unique industrial and bizarre aura.
Zhou Enlai (1898?1976), was the first Premier of the People's Republic of China from 1949 until his death. The three-story French style house was built in the 1920s. It was the Shanghai Office of the Delegates of the Communist Party of China in 1946, listed as a municipal relic in 1959 and became a memorial in 1979.
In 1553 during the Ming Dynasty, Shanghai built a city wall to defend itself against Japanese pirates. Following the course of today's Renmin Lu and Zhonghua Lu, the wall measured 8.1m (27 ft.) high and 4.8km (3 miles) around, and had 10 gates. All that remains today is 50m (164 ft.) of wall at this intersection of Dajing Lu and Renmin Lu (the rest was pulled down in 1912).
The 2nd National Congress of the Communist Party of China was a significant Communist Party Congress in China that was held in Shanghai, between 16–23 July 1922. The congress led to the confirmation and adoption of the Constitution of the Communist Party of China among several other resolutions that were passed during the congress.
Also known as Waibaidu Bridge, it is the first all-steel bridge and the only surviving example of a camelback truss bridge, in China. The present bridge was opened on 20 January 1908. With its rich history and unique design the Waibaidu Bridge is one of the symbols of Shanghai.
