Find the "Little Forbidden City" in Shanghai

As a native Shanghainese, I didn't know there was a "Little Forbidden City" in Yangpu District until I moved here. It is a relic of the "Greater Shanghai Plan" from the Republic of China era. Today, let's retrace the steps of the past and see the "Greater Shanghai" of the Republic of China era. 🚶🏻‍♀️Citywalk route: Shanghai University of Sport Green Tile Building - Changhai Imaging Building - Airplane Building - Yangpu Library - Jiangwan Stadium ⭐We mainly visited two places, which have obvious historical traces. ☑️Shanghai University of Sport This building was designed by architect Dong Dayou. Its exterior is in the style of a Chinese classical palace, like a "Little Forbidden City." In old Shanghai, it was the Special Municipal Government, and now it is the main building of Shanghai University of Sport, also known as the "Green Tile Building." 📍Address: No. 399 Changhai Road, Yangpu District ☑️Yangpu Library It was formerly the site of the Shanghai Municipal Library and is now the most beautiful library in Shanghai. The roof inside the gate still retains its colorful paintings, and the red and green palace color scheme reveals the charm of traditional Chinese architecture. 📍Address: No. 366 Changhai Road, Yangpu District 🕰Opening hours: 9:00–21:00 (closed on Friday mornings)
