The Shanghai History Museum gives a well curated survey of the region's human presence from Neolithic times up till now, with a focus on the 19th and 20th centuries, during which time Shanghai developed from a locally important port to a global financial centre and one of the most international cities in the world. Start at the ground floor and work your way up floor by floor to travel forwards in time. On the ground floor be sure to greet Stephen, one of the original bronze lions which once guarded the entrance to the HSBC headquarters on the Bund (the other is named Stitt, Stephen and Stitt having been the governors of the bank at that time.) Another iteration of Stephen and Stitt can be found outside the HSBC Building in Hong Kong and the newest ones outside the new HSBC headquarters in London. When you've finished with the exhibits, climb to the rooftop for a good view of the surroundings. The large clock on the front of the building chimes on the hour. The Shanghai History Museum is just outside People's Park (Renmin Gongyuan, 人民公园) and just a few steps from Renmin Guangchang metro station. The Shanghai Museum, which displays paintings, calligraphy, seals, coins and other art, is a short walk away. #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #museum #history #historicallandmarks #shanghai #china #lion
