Town planning museums don’t usually rank high on visitors’ itineraries, but you should make an exception for this fine display. The eye-catching futuristic building contains an exhibition that traces the skyline of Shanghai throughout the centuries. The highlight is an enormous model depicting central Shanghai in 2020.
At 6,400 square feet, it’s said to be the largest of its kind in the world. The model presents existing architectural favorites such as the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Customs House on the Bund, as well as planned additions to the city’s already spectacular skyline.
Don’t miss the clock that sits above the entrance to the center, counting down the days until the Shanghai World Expo in 2010. If you want a drink or snack, there are a few cafés in a mock 1930s street below the museum.
