Shanghai Himalayas Center

The design concept of the architecture comes from the original forest. The inside is built like a huge cave for people to wander. It is not only an architecture but also a sculpture and even an art. There are two five-star hotels, a shopping center, and theaters, offices and museums in the center.

Address: No.869 Yinghua Road

Liuli China Museum

The museum is opposite to TianZiFang. There are two huge peonies made by wire netting on its surface. The peonies consist of 5025 petals in total which are all handmade. Each petal weighs 1.5 tons and is more than 54 meters long in width. At night, the scene will be fabulous in the colorful lights. You can not only appreciate the exquisite glazes but can also use glaze tableware to taste food.

Address: No.25 Taikang Road

Long Museum West Bund

Long Museum is located at the place which was originally a coal pier. At the beginning of the construction, there were many old remains from the fifties left. The designer used the structure of the umbrella arch and as-cast finish concrete as the material. The structure and the material make the construction very simple and full of primitive charm, which can well set off the works in the museum.

Address: No.3398 Longteng Avenue

Giant Interactive Group Corporate Headquarters

As a multi-functional complex building, the offices in the east are very open with no classification of grades. The office of executive officers is built on the man-made lake which is very eye-catching. The green roof extends far to the offices. This design mixes the architecture with landscapes. However the pity is that you are only allowed in when accompanied by the internal people.

Address: No.988 Zhongkai Road, Songjiang District

The underground hotel

The hotel which is 65 meters deep under the ground has been a wonder of the world architecture. The hotel is built along the cliff with waterfalls right beside it, well representing the concept of melting into nature. The balcony of each room will be a secret sky garden. Customers can enjoy the scenery of the waterfalls. The rooms under the water are the most attractive, where you can enjoy the scenery under the lake through only a window.

Address: Sheshan National Tourist Resort
