Shanghai city guide Editorial verification: October 14, 2026 Scope Sixteen official districts, split into ten urban districts and six outer districts or islands for the learning rounds. Twenty selected sights, ten lessons and forty learning questions. Sights are editorial recommendations, not attendance rankings. Puxi is an orientation term rather than an administrative district. The former French Concession is a historical area rather than a current administrative unit.

Shanghai Museum East currently allows individual general visits without a reservation. Interactive galleries and special exhibitions can have their own rules. Consult official pages for tickets, identity documents and latest access. The airport rail journey is about forty minutes, excluding station and terminal transfers. No fixed attraction prices, daily schedules or broad visa promises are embedded in the guide. Maps All district polygons, coastline clipping and sight pins use WGS84. No GCJ-02 coordinates or artificial district polygons are used. Sources and transformations: /data/shanghai-boundaries-license.txt Mainland and Chongming, Changxing and Hengsha coastlines are retained. Maritime areas, distant farm exclaves and smaller offshore shoals are omitted for display. 58 distinct English Wikipedia article titles were checked and resolve directly.
