✅ Located on the fifth floor rooftop garden of the East Building of the Shanghai History Museum, this is a perfect spot that blends historical charm with modern vibrancy.
🎈 Here, the elegant English classical garden style is preserved, while offering a 360° panoramic city view. You can admire the 53-meter-high historic clock tower up close and gaze into the dazzling lights of the Lujiazui skyscraper cluster in the distance.
🌈 As dusk falls, the lights of People’s Square, Nanjing Road, and the Shanghai Center district gradually illuminate, making the entire city seem draped in starlight, presenting an unparalleled visual feast.
🎈 The garden also features a publicly accessible restaurant offering exquisite European-style afternoon tea and Western-style dinner, allowing you to savor delicious food while enjoying the magnificent city skyline.
📍 Recommended Experience Route
Visit the museum’s exciting exhibitions at 2 PM, then enjoy dinner at the garden restaurant after 5 PM. At dusk, wait quietly for the Magic City’s most beautiful moment ➡️ the dreamy night view where twilight and city lights intertwine.
📌 Address: 5th Floor, East Building, Shanghai History Museum, 325 West Nanjing Road, Shanghai
