Lesser-known attractions worth visiting in Shanghai|Excellent historical buildings
|Excellent historical buildings. In recent days, there have been frequent news about crowded tourist spots and traffic jams. This year's holiday, the popularity of popular cities can be imagined. Due to the non-adjustment, I couldn't go far...
Seeing that many friends are planning to travel to Shanghai, I wrote this recommendation of lesser-known attractions. Most of these attractions are on the streets of Wutong District, but if you don't pay attention, you will miss them. The number of people will be relatively small and the experience will be much better!
1. Delamond Residence
Built in 1899, it was originally Delamond's private garden residence. The Baroque-style porch, pillars of green and red bricks, gable triangular gables at both ends, plus traditional eaves boards, the combination of multiple elements makes this building more charming. The entire building is well preserved and was rated as an excellent historical building in Shanghai in 1994.

Xia Yan's old house and Cao Ying's study are both in the Hengfu Art Center on Urumqi South Road. Xia Yan lived here for a short time of 6 years, and the second floor restored the living scene at that time.
10. Xiyantang
Built in 1929, it is the only Byzantine-style church in Shanghai. It was designed by Wudak. The unique round dome, colored glass windows, the flock of sheep on the lawn and the statues make it particularly quiet and mysterious.
Xujiahui Catholic Church, the first cathedral in the Far East, is also the biggest highlight of Xuhuiyuan Scenic Area at present, which is really shocking! The large lawn outside is particularly beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds, and the pink purple of the pink grass is more girlish. The church's twin towers and several facades are very artistic, especially the sculptures on the front and dozens of lions on both sides are extremely delicate. The interior of the church, after several years of renovation, has been restored to a very elegant atmosphere, and the sky blue strips hanging on the two rows of columns are divided into colorful colors. There are multiple prayer rooms in the corridors on both sides, and the oil paintings and sculptures inside are boutiques. When I came last time, the appointment was full and I didn't have time to enter. Now I don't need to make an appointment. I visit for free. I also encountered a good weather. I was really happy!
