In-depth Shanghai Travel: One-Day Art and Culture Tour of Yangpu District

Over the past year or so, thanks to the 240-hour visa-free entry policy and other factors, the number of foreign tourists visiting China has increased significantly, especially tourists from South Korea, who can be seen all over the streets of Shanghai. If it's your first time in Shanghai, you might just stick to the Bund and Nanjing Road. But if this is your Nth trip to the Magic City, why not explore more areas and avoid the crowds with an in-depth tour? ❗️Yangpu: One-Day Art and Culture Tour 🚇 Centered around Ningguo Road and Longchang Road stations on Metro Line 12, here are three recommended spots featuring culture and art. 1️⃣ China Museum of Modern Printing and Publishing History This is China's first professional museum dedicated to printing and publishing. With a collection of nearly 600,000 publications, it showcases the historical development and evolution of China's printing and publishing industry. 🌟 Exhibition halls mainly include: Zhonghua Book Company Library Collection, Thematic Hall, Printing Technology Hall, and Children's Publishing Hall. 🌟 Highly recommend the digital restoration of the grottoes. This popular spot recreates the Kizil Grottoes, a typical representative of the Kucha Grottoes in Xinjiang, and offers an immersive AR exploration experience. It's very interesting. 📌 China Museum of Modern Printing and Publishing History 📍 Address: 3678 Zhoujiazui Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai 💰 Admission: Free ⏰ Opening Hours: 9:00 to 17:00 (last entry at 16:00), closed on Mondays 2️⃣ Dunhuang Contemporary Art Museum This art museum, which just opened at the end of 2024, focuses on Dunhuang, with exhibitions related to Dunhuang culture and Silk Road civilization. 🌟 The current major exhibition is "Mirage Dunhuang," which juxtaposes precious historical relics from Dunhuang with contemporary art, creating a spark of inspiration. ☕️ Finally, remember to visit the museum shop on the first floor and grab a Dunhuang-themed coffee.

After redesign and renovation, it is now "Changyang Campus." 🌿 The former factory buildings now house offices, design studios, and art galleries. It also has a temporary branch of the Yangpu Library, filled with a strong artistic and cultural atmosphere. With lawns, sculptures, a Chinese-Western fusion "Secret Garden," and various specialty shops, restaurants, and cafes, it's a great place for a city walk.
