Start with the planning hall, continue towards Jing’an’s sculpture park, then head south for noodles and Fuxing Park. It is a generous half-day with several kilometres between stops; use the metro or a taxi if you prefer less walking. Wednesday is a poor choice for the planning hall. Paid admission and food are separate.
Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall
Start with how Shanghai fits together. Confirm admission and avoid the regular Wednesday closure.
Jing’an Sculpture Park
Step outdoors for the sculpture paths. Keep any nearby museum visit as an optional extra.
Wei Xiang Zhai
Head south for a simple noodle meal. This is the Yandang Road branch.
Fuxing Park
End with a slower loop through the park, close to the noodle shop.
