The Bund

The Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum, housed in the former Ohel Moshe Synagogue, honors the 20,000 Jews who found refuge in Shanghai during World War II.

The Shanghai Ferry, once the main way to cross the Huangpu River, still runs today with multiple lines offering a classic view of the city from the water.

Yuyuan Garden, a Ming-dynasty landmark near Shanghai’s old city wall, blends pavilions, ponds, and lush greenery in a classic Chinese setting.

Close to Chabad, you’ll find markets where you can make custom suits and pick up small gifts, toys, and knock-offs — a convenient option if you’re short on time.
