Great places to visit in Shanghai are all free (19/100) | Address included

Inside the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, there are three old villas: the Museum of Oriental Musical Instruments (Meiyu Building), Music Castle, and City Music Lounge, but it's really hard to book them all together. Last time, I already visited the Museum of Oriental Musical Instruments. This time, I managed to book the Music Castle (former site of the Belgian Consulate), which has a very strong Baroque architectural style. It has 3 floors in total, but currently only the 1st floor is open to the public, featuring an intangible cultural heritage exhibition. About 20 minutes is enough for a visit. After the visit, you can go around to the back for photos (as on the cover). With its red tiled roof and small spires, under the sunlight, it truly looks like a 'castle'. 📍Address: No. 1131 Huaihai Middle Road, Xuhui District 🚇Transportation: Lines 1/10/12, South Shaanxi Road Station (Exit 10) ⏰Suggested visit duration: 20min 🗓Opening hours: 10:00-20:00 🎫Admission: 🆓, reservation required ('Shanghai Conservatory of Music Performances' WeChat mini-program)
