These two places are actually almost only for travellers, and you can hardly find local culture there. Highly recommend you take a city walk in a sunny day along Julu(巨鹿) road, Fumin(富民)road,Changshu(常熟) road and Changle(长乐) road, where you can find a loooot of beautiful buildings built from 1860s to 1920s, which really represent the character of Shanghai culture: a mix of Eastern and Western classicism.

    Since you gave the road sign, I checked on Google map and you guys are 40 minutes away from the city centre where the Bund is. That is quite far away. Although you're much closer to Disneyland, but it is still a 20 min drive. And since you're on the far eastern outskirt of the city. You're no where near where all the older districts are (i.e. the inner districts that are on the west side of the Huangpu River).

      @@JennandLeon The older district are where one should visit, because the heritage sites and buildings from Republic of China (i.e. in the early 20th Century)are all over there. Since you are more than 40 minutes away plus time to travel further west if needed, you'd be surprised that you may stay 2 hr or more just commuting going to and from.
