Shanghai Fudan University & Museum Full-Day Discovery

About this activity

Strolling through Fudan University in Shanghai, you'll encounter a rich cultural atmosphere with every step. Upon entering the simple and grand school gate, the towering Guanghua Building comes into view. As the tallest building in Chinese universities, it is not only a Fudan landmark but also a carrier of students' ideals and pursuits. Wandering around the campus, Xianghui Hall is solemn and majestic, witnessing countless important moments; Yan Garden is quiet and secluded, with pavilions, terraces, and carps swimming, like a Jiangnan garden, perfect for photo ops. There is also the former residence of Chen Wangdao, where you can trace the historical footprints of translating "The Communist Manifesto." In addition, Fudan's campus cuisine should not be missed. The special snacks at Danyuan Restaurant and the creative dishes at the North District Canteen can add a different flavor to your trip. Here, history and modernity are intertwined, and academics and life are integrated, making people linger. The Shanghai Museum East Branch is definitely a treasure trove that should not be missed when traveling to Shanghai. It is located at 1952 Century Avenue, Pudong New Area, and forms a cultural facility cluster with international influence together with the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum and the Oriental Art Center. Stepping into the museum, the 13 permanent exhibition halls are like vivid general histories of ancient Chinese art. In the "Ancient Chinese Bronze Gallery," more than 500 exhibits show the development and evolution of bronzes over 3600 years in chronological order. In the calligraphy and painting exhibition hall, the works of famous artists are lined up, allowing you to appreciate the aesthetics and artistic conception of different eras from the strokes of the ancients. There are also ceramics, sculpture, and jade galleries, with complete systems and collections of fine works. In addition to the permanent exhibitions, there are also 4 interactive experience spaces here, which "bring" cultural relics to life through multimedia, interactive installations, etc. For example, in the Ancient Ceramics Gallery, you can learn about the entire process of ceramic production through digital displays. The 3 special exhibition halls will host major exhibitions from time to time, such as the previous "Full Bloom: Cartier's Artistic Magic," which attracted countless people.
