Shanghai Natural History Museum 🦕✨
This is one of the most spectacular museum in Shanghai where the exhibits are housed within a 5 storey building. A great place especially if you love dinosaurs. Very well maintained, neat and foreigner-friendly with a very helpful staff. A lot of species were titled with their biological names in English and not the common name. 🤔
Almost everything is written in both Chinese and English so there's no problem in visiting without a local friend. There are also a few stores within the museum. The one in B2 felt unnecessarily expensive. There are restaurants, Ice cream bars and kiosks for drinks everywhere within the place. 💦
There are many sections and categories of arts, animals Biological specimen and sciences. Spend a day over there is like learn things around the world. Thumbs up! 👍🏻❤️

This is one of the unique center I've come across in Shanghai with artistic design and a mix of huge 🃏 toys. The restaurants around this building are mainly of Japanese cuisine, so if you're someone into Sushi and yakitori 🍖 I'd highly recommend to go visit this place. Also to mention there's a nice chocolate 🍫 store of Japanese origin, which has great varieties to try out. #urbanexplorer#tripblazers#summervacation

Informative museum for both kids and adults
#shinsider
One of the better natural history museums in China this is pretty diverse, interesting and easy to understand. Lots of information available via QR codes (mainly in Chinese)
Good place for kids and familes. Ticket can be bought through wechat or onsite.
I highly recommend to visit on weekdays as it is not crowded. So you can slowly walk through all the exhibitions and see more.
Allocate at least half a day or more here. Unless you specifically target certain section to see, it is not possible to complete the museum tour in 1 or 2 hour. There is a gift shop in the museum and a cafe should you need to rest your feet here.

Great museum in Shanghai
One of the better natural history museums in China this is pretty diverse, interesting and easy to understand. Lots of information available via QR codes (mainly in Chinese). It has a several exhibitions here and you can easily spend a few hours here, especially good on rainy days.
The stuffed animals and dinosaur sections were my particular favorite, the lion had a hysterical look on its face. You can meander around slowly and enjoy it at your own pace.
Good place for kids and familes. Ticket can be bought through wechat or onsite. Passport is needed to buy tickets.

One of the nicest natural history museum
Getting there: on metro Line 13, exit 1
This is one of the nicest natural history museum in Asia I have visited. The museum has 5 stories.
It has a huge collection of dinosaurs well laid-out. So if you are into animal, natural history kind, you will be amazed by its collection here. Perfect place for kids too.
Everything is well-documented in English so you don’t have to worry about language barrier. There’s also a restaurant and a souvenir shop in this museum.
It’s good to plan ahead so that you know which sections of the museum interests you and just focus on that floor. Otherwise, you won’t be able to visit all in one day.

Beautiful Museum in Shanghai
I visited the Natural History Museum in Shanghai and it did not disappoint!
My friends and I spent a day at the museum and loved taking the day to learn about all sorts of cool animal facts and history of the world. The displays here are very well done. I especially enjoyed the safari room which included a show that made the entire exhibit transition from day to night. They also had an arctic themed section which was quite fascinating.
I highly recommend a visit here if you live in or are visiting Shanghai! :)

Shanghai Natural History Museum
I absolutely love museums so when I finally got to visit the Natural History Museum, I was kind of excited!
Entry to the museum is 30RMB and you purchase tickets through WeChat at the entrance.
Once inside you can easily spend 2-3 hours just wandering. The museum exhibits are huge! The largest area is taken up by the animal models which ranges from dinosaurs to under water creatures. Some models are animatronic so be ready to hear the cry of an animal. There’s also a butterfly exhibit inside the main area, from the outside of this room you can see all of the colours and styles of different butterflies.
History of animal life is below, just keep following the main route and you’ll see every part.
The gift shop is pretty interesting, magnets and gems are available to buy as well as stuffed animal teddies.

I love the new space at the Shanghai Natural History Museum. This is a fun and interesting place to spend an afternoon. It’s worth it for the #architecture as much for the exhibits, which are really well done I thought. There is a lot to explore here and you can easily spend an afternoon seeing it all. #shanghai #museumquest #museum

Walking into the Shanghai Natural History Museum, I was captivated by the marvelous natural world before my eyes
From rare minerals.
Shanghai Natural History Museum - Regular Exhibition Hall|| At the end of the summer vacation, come and experience the queue, it's actually not bad, with a real-time flow of less than 5,000 people, and the indoor breeze is pleasant. This is my first time visiting the new museum, and the restaurant inside is also good. If you're not in a hurry, you can spend the whole day here.

Let's take a stroll at the Shanghai Natural History Museum
Today, I invite everyone to take an educational walk at the Shanghai Natural History Museum, a large museum showcasing the history of animals from ancient times. Not only will you gain a wealth of knowledge from the modern exhibits, but there are also videos and informative signs in both Chinese and English. The large exhibition halls are divided into multiple floors, categorized by different eras of animal species, making it a grand and impressive experience. There is also a small aquarium zone and a butterfly conservatory where children can have close encounters. Additionally, there are souvenir shops and food stalls.
Besides gaining biological knowledge, this place has also become a popular spot for content creators, as every corner of the museum is designed to be highly photogenic.
It's a walk where you can capture beautiful photos and gain knowledge at the same time.

The transportation is very convenient, it's right outside the Natural History Museum subway station on Line 13!

We wasted a trip on Tuesday and quickly grabbed a few tickets after 12 o'clock at night.
It took a long time to queue up, about 30 minutes, and you can swipe your ID card directly inside.
Exhibition content:
There's a lot to see, mainly animals, but also insects, marine life, plants, etc! A few floors are enough to play for an afternoon!

Big dinosaur, it's said to be a 1:1 restoration, very realistic, it can also move and make sounds.

Shanghai Natural History Museum | Take a look at the story of this planet, past and present
Highly recommended!! (Especially suitable for parents to bring their children for science popularization)
The museum itself is also a great building, designed by the American architectural firm Perkins&Will. The architectural form is inspired by the nautilus, organized around a sunken water landscape courtyard. The facade pattern is like the porous structure of animals and plants, as a whole suggesting the changing crustal plates and the canyon form eroded by rivers.
The museum has a total of 5 floors. The visit starts from the second floor above ground, gradually progressing, revolving around the traffic courtyard full of daylight until the third floor underground. The exhibition itself is also very well integrated with various exhibits, with both interactive and experiential parts, as well as a wide range of organized categories, and the restoration of scenes, allowing you to immerse yourself in the rhythm of billions of years ago.
📝Note tips:
Buy tickets online, remember to bring your ID to the scene, otherwise you need to exchange for paper tickets.
Seats are set up everywhere for everyone to rest, and there are restaurants in the venue specifically providing food, as well as special creative ice cream. If you need, you can check in.

Shanghai | Suzhou River, Jing'an Suhe Bay, morning!
✅"Rainy season in every household". On the bank of the Suzhou River, the morning after the "violent plum", the natural freshness is particularly unbearable.
✅After the baptism of heavy rain, the full and seemingly calm river water is surging, slightly turbid, exuding a slight smell of silt, carrying sporadic garbage, flowing quickly.
✅Pass through JiC Jing'an International Center, cross the arch bridge that leaps like a curved bow shooting eagle, to West Suzhou Road, from 1500 meters in Jing'an Suhe Bay, to the 0 meter point.
📍The embankments on both sides of the river protect the river channel seamlessly, resolving the threat of floods to the city. The landscape promenade along the river is said to have been fully connected, starting from the intersection of Wusong River and Yunzao Bin in Anting, passing through Hongqiao, Changning, Putuo, Jing'an, Huangpu, to the Waibaidu Bridge, connecting with the Bund and North Bund.
📍Jing'an section. The banks are high-rise buildings and their reflections, hiding green trees, lawns, and flower beds, classic urban scenery. Bridges of various shapes not only connect the two banks, but also play a role in enriching the landscape, especially at night, with neon lights flashing and colorful, which is very beautiful.
📍Banana trees grow in the river embankment, they are delicate and dripping, contrasting with the iron bones of the building, as if they have also softened a lot. Small gardens everywhere, various art installations, sculptures, embellish the walkway, there are targets for looking around, and walking alone is not lonely. There are also basketball courts and Mini football fields, early middle-aged people entertain themselves, sweat profusely, great!
✅At the 0 meter point, it is the cross-river bridge of the north-south elevated road, which gives a reason to bypass the Shanghai Natural History Museum and take a look at a piece of the old concession. The area of Xinzha Road, Datian Road, and Shimen Second Road, old apartments, old churches, and old street fronts still exist, as well as the earliest municipal planning markets. In the 1930s, as the underground party, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had multiple organs here, leaving red footprints, the sparks of stars, and finally prairie fires.
📍Cross Hengfeng Road Bridge, turn back on Guangfu Road, the mileage of Jing'an Suhe Bay, starting from 2500 meters, moving forward to larger numbers (a bit dizzy).
📍People come and go, endlessly. Perhaps it is a working day, running, walking, dancing, doing exercises, walking babies, walking dogs, mostly middle-aged people like Aunt Ben, and old people with white hair, people and scenery blend together, the appearance of peace in time. Time flows like the water of the Suzhou River, into the Huangpu River, there is only one choice to flow eastward into the sea, and every bit of the present is more cherished.
📍Paradise of water birds. Herons flock, sometimes skimming the water, sometimes stopping in a row, people and nature coexist harmoniously, even in big cities.
✅Surrounding attractions:
JiC Jing'an International Center A very modern group of buildings, the structure and light and shadow are very film-like, modern office buildings and malls. The transformation of an old red brick house from a former flour mill, Blue Bottle Coffee and Suhejiang Banquet lead the two extreme internet celebrity temperaments here, and the large cartoon characters by the river are very film-like.
Jing'an Sculpture Park Shanghai Natural History Museum The present of the old concession on the south bank of the Suzhou River.
Dayang Jingdian·Tianan Qianshu Walk north on West Suzhou Road, a new internet celebrity created with a unique architectural style.

🦋Amazed by the beautiful butterfly specimens, various shapes of animal skin specimens, feel real, eye-opening.

The Shanghai Natural History Museum is built underground, and the tour order is from top to bottom.
There are many exhibits that are overwhelming.
There will be more people at the beginning, it will be better below, remember to wear comfortable shoes.
There are many popular spots inside, suitable for taking pictures

A Wonderful Night at the Shanghai Natural History Museum
The Shanghai Natural History Museum is the largest natural history museum in China, displaying over 11,000 specimens and models from all seven continents. It vividly presents the evolution of life over 13.6 billion years, making it a great place for children to visit and learn.
As usual, before going, I had my older son read related biology books and learn about the general information of the related exhibition halls on the official website, so that he could visit with a purpose and questions.
Off we go with my 5-year-old son, 2-year-old daughter, and their parents!
For my daughter, the goal is to broaden her horizons. As for my son, he mainly wanted to see the evolution of species from the Cambrian explosion to the Cenozoic era, as well as various fossil specimens and gems.
: Tickets were booked on the official website a week in advance, with adults priced at 30 yuan per person and children under 6 free. Even free tickets need to be purchased, and remember to bring your ID for admission!
Huang's family visit route: L2 Mystery of Origin - L1 River of Life - B1 Path of Evolution - B2M Shanghai Story - B2 Ecological Wonders, Colorful Life, Earth Treasure Hunt, Human-Earth Connection, Exploration Center
Just follow the route, the museum's tour route is very reasonable. But it's too big inside, with tens of thousands of exhibits. If you want to see everything, you'll have to walk for at least 4 hours, and trying to see everything will only hurt you, haha!
If you're too tired, you can skip some halls, such as the B2M floor that talks about the history of Shanghai's development.
Recommended Hall 11F River of Life
Definitely the most popular hall, with a large number of 1:1 replicas of animal fossils and specimens gathered across time and space, both children loved it. Path of Evolution
From the Cambrian explosion of life to the dinosaur era to human evolution. Let us travel along the 'axis of time' to explore the process of biological evolution. We went in and watched a few minutes of the free movies 'Cambrian Explosion of Life' and 'The Road of Humanity'
3 B2 There are many halls, recommended Earth Treasure Hunt (various gems) and Colorful Life (specimens are here), Ecological Wonders (African grasslands)
Several popular experiential activities (with timetable attached) Butterfly House 2 Fossil Excavation 3 Seawater Touch
Remember to buy tickets at the seafood market a week in advance, you really can't get tickets on your own!!!
P: Because we brought two babies, we chose to drive and parked at the Bohua Plaza opposite (the price is quite expensive, 20/hour! It cost me 100 yuan, so I suggest you take public transportation)
Huang's downside: There are really a lot of people, so the experience might be a bit worse, but it's worth multiple visits
