Shanghai Off the Beaten Path Tips by meteorologist1

The Shanghai Science and Technology Museum located in Pudong is a huge, modern, and exciting museum for people of all ages. This museum has 12 exhibition halls and 4 theatres (including the IMAX theatres). It was one of the best science museums I have ever visited. There are lots and lots of hands-on activities to do, including very fun and meaningful physics experiments. The "World of Robots" exhibition was very cool; you get to communicate with and control robots. There is also an impressive man-made tropical rainforest inside the museum where you will get to learn about bio-diversity, ecology, and genetics. There are lots of live demonstrations and presentations inside the museum like a robot show and an earthquake simulation, so be sure you don't miss them. I strongly recommend this museum. As of summer 2006, admission tickets are 60 yuan per person. The museum is easily reached using Subway Line 2, Shanghai Science and Technology Museum Station.

Century Square is located in Pudong. It is home to the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. You will find beautiful landscaping work, plants, and flowers at this fairly large square. It was the site of the annual APEC meeting in 2001. The night scene at this square is also fantastic. Use Subway Line 2, Shanghai Science and Technology Museum Station. Relatively quiet part of Shanghai.
