Shanghai Museum
Shanghai Museum is one of the city’s main highlights, housing over
120,000 historical artefacts and covering a period spanning from
prehistory to the last imperial dynasty.
museum is organised into 11 state-of-the-art galleries and three
special exhibitions, exquisitely and tastefully arranged with captions
and explanations that are very comprehensive. The collections range
from bronze, calligraphy, coins, ceramics and sculptures to the art of
ethnic minorities within China. In particular, the paintings,
calligraphy and collection of bodhisattvas are worth visiting.As
a mascot of this fast-developing city, the Chinese have taken care to
get the details of Shanghai Museum right, with information displays (in
Chinese and English) and general presentation all top notch. The
building itself is modern, but retains the influence of the past. It is
said to resemble a bronze mirror from the Han dynasty era and gives the
visitor an impression of serenity upon entrance.
Although the
museum contains fewer objects than the largest museums in Beijing and
Taipei, it is nevertheless one of Shanghai’s (and China’s) top
attractions.

JW Marriott Shanghai Hotel
Opened in 2003, the JW Marriott Shanghai at
Tomorrow Square is the chain’s China flagship. Opposite People’s Square
and the Shanghai Art Museum, the award-winning hotel is set in a
space-age, crystal-shaped structure on top of a tall tower like a
frankfurter on a stick, but considerably more elegant. The lobby is on
the 38th floor and the hotel runs to the 60th floor, home to the
world’s highest library-cum-exclusive boardroom. There is an executive
apartment complex too. The wraparound views from here take in the
entire city. All rooms feature massive picture windows, the Marriott’s
new “Revive” beds, and an in room safe large enough to handle a laptop
(a convenience not yet available at most Shanghai hotels).
The toilets have shower cubicles (with side jets as well) and bathtubs.
There is a steam iron and ironing board in all rooms. After that quick
clean-up and steam press, there’s Broadband to plug into. Power points
are two pin, plus three-pin “chicken feet” Kiwi-style (where the two
lower points are splayed outwards). A Pepsi is just Rmb15 and a local
beer 25 RMB. Dry-cleaning costs run 100 RMB for a two-piece suit and 95 RMB for a dress. Other excellent on-site facilities include a Mandara
Spa, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a funky fitness center.
Brasil Steak House
Brasil Steak House
Steak traces its origin back to Brazil, South America. They were experts on roasting beef. They roasted large pieces
of meat on the carbon and then flavored the meat with salt. This
tradition of roasting has evolved into today’s Brazil style
roasting—-the Brazilian chef, with a large roasting fork in hand,
The Brasil peels the meat from different parts of the large chunk and sends it to the tables in turns. Guests can choose their most favorite part of the chunk and the degree of roasting, and after the chef cuts it and putsit in the plane, the guests can enjoy this exotic flavored beef steakto their heart’s content. It’s an all you can eat place. It also has great grilled fruits.
