Oriental Pearl TV Tower

Tianzifang
Landmark

While picturesque, Tianzifang can be overly commercial and crowded, detracting from its original charm. For a more authentic experience of old Shanghai's streets, consider exploring less-frequented areas. You'll find hidden gems and a more genuine atmosphere away from the main tourist flow.
The Bund
Historical place
