If you are awed by the incredible growth and immensity of the city of Shanghai then you should find the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall an interesting place to learn more.

The Exhibition Hall is a six-story building, with two basement levels, which displays Shanghai's urban planning and development. Exhibitions include models of planned and recent developments, as well as Shanghai's history. The centerpiece of the exhibition is a huge scale model of the city of Shanghai, showing all existing and approved buildings. Visitors can view the model at "ground level", or ascend a gallery running around it for views from above.

Other features include historical photos of Shanghai and smaller exhibits that focus on other areas of Shanghai such as the Suzhou Creek area, Pudong Airport and the deep water port. Many exhibits are interactive and the English signs are very well done.
