Shanghai Museum is to the south of the People's Square in the downtown area. The construction area of the museum is about 40,000 square meters, and attracts many visitors.
The Shanghai Museum building has a circular upper storey but square ground floor. Seen from a distance, the entire structure is just like an ancient Chinese bronze, providing you with a very different impression of the building. What makes Shanghai Museum different from others in the world is that it integrates traditional culture and spirit into the whole construction in an exquisite way.
