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! 👍🏻❤️ #wheretogo #bestplace #bestview #awesomepic #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip #best_trip_by_trip #bestplace #recommended #besttimeever #bestdeal #awesometrip #tripcomAv.ra19

Greeny walls 💚#shanghaitrip 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#summervacationAaru 裴儒21

Shanghai Natural History MuseumAddress: Jing'an Sculpture Park, Jing'an District, China, 200041. Highlights: The Shanghai Natural History Museum is one of the biggest natural history museums in China. It is constructed in the shape of a green spiral shell. It is famous for its technologically advanced and environmentally friendly construction. This museum serves as an essential platform for popular science education and cultural exchange. It consists of a total of five floors. I would recommend you to start at the top floor and walk their way down to the last floor underground. The River of Life is located on L1, where people can participate in a party of prehistoric and current creatures, and meet the biggest mammal in the world – the blue whale. 😬 Opening hours: 9am to 5.15pm daily, closed on Monday Admission fee: CNY30 for adults, CNY12 for child #shinsider #shanghai #culturewalkYolo317

National History Museum in ShanghaiThe Shanghai Natural History Museum is a museum for natural history of our planet in the city of Shanghai. It is one of the largest museums of natural history in China. I learned that the museum has more than 25000 pieces, animals, skeletons, maps, historic documents, fossils etc. What is very interesting about it is, that it was founded 1958 already, so some parts of the museum are part of history again. The first floor is the most interesting, it has big scelettons of animals and bilingual infographics about the history of our world. The exhibitions on the other floor varies from time to time. 📍 Chinese name for navigation: 上海自然博物馆 #shinsider #shanghai #naturalhistory #chinatravelA_Wanderer5

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.winter1675

Great museum in ShanghaiOne 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. #shinsider #shanghai #china #solotravelJoe04124

One of the nicest natural history museumGetting 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. #shanghaiwinter16710

Beautiful Museum in ShanghaiI 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! :) #createwithtrip #travel #museum #staycation #summervacation #china #shanghai #explore #butterflies #naturalhistoryAllison Paige Abroad21

Shanghai Natural History MuseumI 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. #urbanexplorer #history #animals #naturalhistory #shanghai #naturalwondersAmy.in.asia14

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 #triplocalRence3
Shanghai Natural History MuseumThe architectural design of the Shanghai Natural History Museum is inspired by the "nautilus", coupled with lush vegetation, it is colloquially known as the "Green Spiral". There are tens of thousands of animal specimens and models, including dinosaurs, various ancient animals, and the human evolutionary process, which are very complete and informative.ElectroByte

This huge science museum makes surely great impression to us: plenty of exhibitions, informative, well presented with different death animals aand bones from shells, mammals, insects, etc. The entrance fee (30 rmb for adult, children under 6 free) is affordable. Better come early in the morning on weekdays to avoid crowd. Easy to reach by metro, but there is not much eateries nearby.
