8. • Aquarium is always a delight for chidlren; for lovely
couples, wouldn’t it be a romance to explore a new world?
I’ts easy to find such fun in Shanghai. Located in
the splendid financial center of Shanghai, just beside the
Oriental Peral TV Tower, Shanghai Ocean Aquairium is
listed as one of the top aquariums in Asia. Twice as big as
Shanghai Changfeng Ocean Park, it is allowed to provide a
stunning array of marine lives classified by continents and
regions. Apart from popular marine lives from all over the
world, the feature of the aquarium is rare species only
found in China, most of which are national protected such
as Chinese sturgeon and Yangtze Alligator. Among tens of
hundreds of aquariums in the world, it is the only
one where you can find them.

12. • Located at Taicang Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai, China, Xintiandi is
where "yesterday meets tomorrow in Shanghai today." Xintiandi is a car-
free shopping, eating and entertainment area of Shanghai, China. It is
composed of an area of restored traditional shikumen (stone gate) houses
on narrow alleys, a modern shopping mall with a cinema complex, and
some adjoining houses which now serve as book stores, cafes and
restaurants. Most of the cafes and restaurants feature both indoor and
outdoor seating. Xintiandi has an active nightlife on weekdays as well as
weekends, though romantic settings are more common than loud music
and dance places. Xintiandi means "New Heaven and Earth", and is
considered one of the first lifestyle centers in China.
As a window to the past and the future, to China and the world, Shanghai
Xintiandi's Shikumen attraction was created by converting residential
blocks into a multifunctional dining, retail and entertainment center
flowing with restaurants, boutiques, cafes and bars of an international
standard.

15. Jade Buddha Temple.

16. • In the western part of Shanghai, a very modern
and flourishing city, there is a venerable and
famous Buddhist temple, Jade Buddha Temple. In
1882, an old temple was built to keep two jade
Buddha statues which had been brought from
Burma by a monk named Huigen. The temple was
destroyed during the revolution that overthrew
the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately the statues were
saved and a new temple was built on the present
site in 1928. It was named the Jade Buddha
Temple

20. • The two precious jade Buddhist statues are not only rare cultural
relics but also porcelain artworks. Both the Sitting Buddha and the
Recumbent Buddha are carved with whole white jade. The
sparkling and crystal-clear white jade gives the Buddhas the
beauty of sanctity and make them more vivid. The Sitting Buddha
is 190 centimeters high and encrusted by the agate and the
emerald, portraying the Buddha at the moment of his meditation
and enlightenment. The Recumbent Buddha is 96 centimeters
long, lying on the right side with the right hand supporting the
head and the left hand placing on the left leg, this shape is called
the 'lucky repose'. The sedate face shows the peaceful mood of
Sakyamuni when he left this world. In the temple there is also
another Recumbent Buddha which is four meters long and was
brought from Singapore by the tenth abbot of the temple in 1989.
Furthermore there are many other ancient paintings and Buddhist
scriptures distributed in the different halls here.
