About Dajing Ge Pavilion
The Dàjìng Gé Pavilion in Shanghai combines historical significance with the feel of a museum, as it houses the last surviving remnants of the old city wall. While most of these fortifications were torn down in 1912, this section remained as the only relic. After being designated a protected cultural monument in 1959 and undergoing extensive renovation in 1995, the building was opened to visitors. Today you'll find a temple here as well as a small exhibition that offers a glimpse into the past of old Shanghai through historic photographs. The site is located in Huangpu District and invites you to experience the city's history in an authentic setting.

The small surviving part of the Shanghai city wall. A prominent feature is Dajing Tower . If you want to see a larger and better preserved wall, go to nearby Suzhou, or Nanjing.
