The new Shanghai Grand Opera House was designed by Norwegian architecture firm Snøhetta in collaboration with the East China Architectural Design & Research Institute.

The building takes inspiration from an unfolding traditional Chinese fan. Its roof spirals around the auditoriums, forming a sweeping public staircase that is open 24 hours a day and leads up to the rooftop, offering views of Shanghai’s skyline and the Huangpu River.

The fan evokes classical Chinese culture through a sense of elegance, openness and movement. The spiral echoes the flow of the river, suggesting continuity between the city, the water and the opera house.

The venue aims to attract both opera lovers and younger audiences through a varied programme, bringing Chinese and international opera together

Do you know location of those places?

1 - i have no idea

2, 3 - I was thinkin it's Linhua Road but colors and size of the building I think doesn't match

Thank you.

been in Shanghai and Zhujiajiao village in 2019 and forgot everything since then(also cities changing as fast as the speed of light lol) Suzhou surprised me in a very good way, the culture was just amazing, especially 拙政园, such a out of world place! Will definitely come back to explore Suzhou more!

I don't mean anything else, I just can't understand why Chongqing is so popular,I have been there a few times, but I don't feel it's any different from other big cities.

With the new 30 day policy was wondering if there’s anything I need to fill out in advance as I’ll be there for 14 days?

I realized my past Visa expired 1 month ago, but luckily with the new 30-day visa free entry I don’t need it.

Thanks in advance!

I totally forgot to get the a Beijing pass on arrival at the airport. Can this be bought on any online platform or third party seller?

Aside from using it for transportation and attractions, I want it as a memorabilia for my trip here. Thanks for any tips!

For those who did a checkup or procedure in China, what happened after? Did your doctor at home take the results seriously? Did you have to redo tests?

Which hotel is better for a one week stay in Jing An?

The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai or Jing A Shangri-La, West Shanghai?

Can’t decide. Both look good.

Hello! It’s my first time visiting China and Beijing. Today I went to Nanluogixiang and entered a gift shop randomly. There was a tea tasting corner and the ladies working there invited me to taste their tea. I tasted different types of tea and had a pleasant conversation with the ladies. At the end I felt bad not to buy anything so I decided on a tea. The other one they said it’s free. I agreed and payed. The issue is that this tea was ¥ 370.80. I didn’t realise at the moment how much that actually is in my own currency, I had an idea but I thought to myself there’s no way tes is that expensive and I must be wrong. I told my group I bought this tea and how much it was and they were in disbelief and said I got scammed. Now I feel really bad, I don’t even wanna look at this tea anymore. Thing is I planned a 4 month vacation in Asia and to be able to do this I had to leave my job. So I’m travelling on a very tight budget and just blew so much money on tea. I feel horrible.

Hello! Like the title says I have a 12 hour long layover at Pudong Airport next January and would like to go see Shanghai. I've heard mixed opinions on the Maglev train, should I take that or just normal metro. I don't need to see absolutely everything possible there, I just want to chill out and eat some good food while waiting for my flight.

Also do I need any cash or just WeChat?

How strict are china southern with cabin luggage. Their sizes show 55 × 40 × 20 cm. I have a suitcase which is 55x35x23 so 3cm more in width. I'll be flying from London to Guangzhou.
