Shanghai Museum

May 20, 2008

Visiting museums should actually be one of the top must see of tourists when visiting new places. You get to sense the culture, history but most of all, you can check out cool artifacts.

I am actually fascinated about museums but I seldom go because either no one wants to go with me or it’s really out of the way.

When we went to Shanghai, I knew I had to go because the structure itself looks enticing enough.

Shanghai Museum is actually a museum of ancient Chinese arts. Featuring a lot of furnitures, art masterpieces, old coins & money, clothes, I pleasantly scanned the interesting pieces. However I still like the feel of going to Forbidden city to glance at “how it was“. I want to walk the steps they took long before and imagine being there.

A quick detour to this museum can complete the feel of knowing a bit of Chinese culture/arts. Good thing is also cheap (10rmb). For those who wouldn’t love it, then at least you didn’t waste a lot.

Then you can go explore other interesting attractions!
