From the antiquity of Yuyuan Garden to the artistry of Tianzifang, Shanghai's historic districts have preserved a large number of architectural and cultural relics that are characteristic of the times. Feel the vicissitudes of Shanghai's development from a small fishing village to a cosmopolitan city.
