The Underground City

Wikipedia article

Many people come to Montreal to shop in its wide range of international boutiques. Possibly the most famous aspect of shopping in Montreal is the Underground City, waymarked by its official name RÉSO (from the French réseau, meaning network). Constantly growing, the "city" – which links many major buildings and multi-level shopping malls in the downtown area – is a shopper's paradise in any season.

Shown above is a reflection of Place Ville-Marie, whose underground mall was one of the founding elements of the Underground City.

The major portion of the system is reached via Peel and McGill metro stations on the green line, which links via passageways to Bonaventure station on the orange line. East of McGill station is another axis from Place-des-Arts metro down through Complexe Desjardins and beyond.

Safe and sheltered from the elements, the Underground City offers a huge range of goods and services, food courts, cinemas and entertainment, as well as a handy way to get from place to place without weather or traffic problems.

Notre-Dame Basilica

Metro Place d'Armes

Official site

Wikipedia article

Montreal's Notre-Dame Basilica has nothing in common with Paris's except the name. It's a neogothic building dating from 1829, constructed on the site of a much older and **aller church which had been outgrown by its parishioners.

Notre-Dame is noted for its lavish and beautiful interior – stained glass windows, paintings, statues, gold-tipped polychrome carvings, rich altarpiece. It also has a notable Casavant organ and its largest bell, le Gros Bourdon, is the biggest on the continent.

Céline Dion got married at Notre-Dame, it's typically the site of funerals of significant people such as Pierre Trudeau and Maurice Richard, and classical and choral concerts are held there. There's a son et lumière that tells about the church's history.

Notre-Dame shares Place d'Armes with the Vieux Séminaire, dating from 1685, the red sandstone New York Life building (1888) – Montreal's first skyscraper – the elegant deco Aldred Building (1931), the imposing Roman-style Bank of Montreal building, and the central monument to de Maisonneuve, founder of the original settlement of Ville-Marie. Place d'Armes is currently undergoing something of a renovation.

Notre-Dame is only one of many beautiful churches in the city.

Mount Royal

Bus 11 then walk. Or park in one of the mountaintop lots and walk. Or, walk up from the top of Peel Street.

Official website

The lookout on top of Mount Royal is an excellent goal for an urban walk. It's part of Mount Royal Park, laid out long ago by Frederick Law Olmsted, best known for landscaping New York's Central Park.

From the beautifully appointed lookout terrace, downtown Montreal is at your feet, with a view to the river and beyond to the Monteregian Hills. Some sight lines to landmarks are marked along the parapet wall. The chalet by the lookout is open in the daytime and offers shelter and bathrooms.

Mount Royal is an attraction in Montreal in all seasons. In summertime it's a cool airy refuge from the heat of the city, in autumn the changing colours of the trees are a joy, and in winter there's a range of sports from cross-country skiing and snowshoeing to skating and tobogganing or inner-tubing down the slopes.

The top of Mount Royal is divided between the park and two large cemeteries, the Catholic Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery and the nondenominational Mount Royal cemetery. Both of these can be interesting walks: together they form a necropolis among the largest in the world.

The Olympic Stadium and environs

Metro Pie-IX

Official website

The Olympic Stadium was built for Montreal's 1976 Summer Olympics and is used today for some sports events and major concerts. An elevator ascends the world's tallest inclined tower to a lookout on top; tickets are for sale at the base. The stadium is one of Montreal's most curious pieces of architecture and is accompanied by the Biodome (a building originally used for cycle racing during the 1976 games, now a kind of indoor zoo), shown at left above.

Across Sherbrooke Street from the stadium is the Botanical Garden (best in summertime, but with large greenhouses worth a visit any time of year) and the Insectarium.

Across Pie-IX from the stadium is Château Dufresne, built as a grand mansion and now sometimes used for museum exhibits. The Olympic park also contains Saputo Stadium, home of the Impact soccer team, a cinema, the Maurice Richard arena, and also an internationally known, if unofficial, skateboarding venue. Plans are afoot to move the city's planetarium here as well within the next few years.

Montreal 的几个博物馆

Updated February 21, 2010

The official Montreal museums website gives details on the three-day Montreal museum pass, the annual Museums Day on May 30, 2010, and this year's museum theme, City of Glass. Our major museums are:

Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

Musée d'art contemporain

Canadian Centre for Architecture

Historical museums

Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

1379-1380 Sherbrooke West – 514-285-1600

Metro Guy-Concordia or Bus 24

Official website – Wikipedia page

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal) is the grande dame of the Canadian museum world. Founded in 1860, the original pavilion, shown above at left – now known as the Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion – dates from 1912, and the Jean-Noël De**arais pavilion, facing it across Sherbrooke St., a Moshe Safdie design, from 1991. The pavilions are connected by an underground passage. A new pavilion is currently being constructed inside the old Erskine and American Church which adjoins the museum.

The museum has a large collection of decorative and ethnographic objects, 19th-century paintings, and Canadian paintings, prints and drawings, only a **all fraction of which can be displayed at a time. It also hosts major travelling shows. The major summer exhibition in 2010 will be on Miles Davis.

Café and boutique on the premises.

Admission to the permanent displays is free.

Musée d'art contemporain

185 Ste-Catherine West – 514-847-6626

Metro Place-des-Arts or Bus 15, 80/535, 129

Official website – Wikipedia page – Wikipedia page (French)

Montreal's modern art museum, the Musée d'art contemporain, once housed in Cité du Havre, acquired its permanent home by Place des Arts at Jeanne-Mance and Ste-Catherine in 1992. Specializing in works dating from 1940 onwards, the museum hosts shows in all media used by contemporary artists. Admission is $8; Wednesday evenings are free.

Current exhibit: Marcel Dzama, till April 25.

There's an art bookstore in the basement and a café on the premises.

The museum is now also part of the Quartier des spectacles.

Canadian Centre for Architecture

1920 Baile Street – 514-939-7026

Metro Guy-Concordia or Bus 150

Official website – Wikipedia page

The Centre canadien de l'architecture opened in 1989. An interestingly schizoid building, the façade facing René-Lévesque is the grand old Shaughnessy mansion, which came very close to demolition before the museum plan saved it; the façade facing Baile Street (one of downtown's most modest thoroughfares), shown above, is as aloof as modern architecture can be.

It's worth exploring the exterior of the building as part of your visit: the Shaughnessy façade is partially mirrored across René-Lévesque by a spooky sculpture which leads to an entirely surreal sculpture garden with a view over the Ville-Marie Expressway of the lower parts of town.

The CCA is not only a museum that presents exhibits related to architecture, but also a major study centre for the discipline. It also has a bookstore that will tempt anyone with an interest in the design arts, and there are lectures, movie screenings and other events. Adult admission is $10 and Thursday evenings are free.

History museums

Centre d'histoire de Montréal

335 Place Youville – 514-872-3207

Official website

Musée d'archéologie Pointe-à-Callière

350 Place Royale – 514-872-9150

Metro Place d'Armes or Square-Victoria

The Centre d'histoire de Montréal, shown above at left, built inside the old fire hall on Place Youville, is a deliberately tactile and multimedia experience of what Montreal has been like at different eras of its history – elements like lamp posts, fireboxes, a streetcar ride, are brought together to give a sense of the layered history of the city.

Place Royale, home of the Pointe-à-Callière museum, shown above at right, is the location of the very first European settlement in Montreal. The museum includes the 1992 building in the photo as well as several others nearby, including the old Customs House on the square. A visit to the museum includes a 20-minute multimedia presentation encapsulating Montreal's history, and a visit to the archaeological dig beneath the museum, which goes back to the very origins of the city. Temporary exhibits are headlined from time to time.

These two museums are a five-minute walk from each other along beautifully landscaped Place Youville, where you can also see the granite obelisk dating from 1894 that honours the city's founders.

Additional historical museums in Montreal include:

The McCord Museum of Canadian History

690 Sherbrooke West – 514-398-7100

The David M. Stewart Museum

20 chemin Tour-de-l'Isle (the Old Fort), Île Sainte-Hélène

514-861-6701

(closed until autumn 2010 for renovations)

Jing'an Temple (Chinese: 静安寺; pinyin: Jìng'ānsì; literally "Temple of Peace and Tranquility") is a Buddhist temple on West Nanjing Road, in Jing'an District, Shanghai, China.

The first temple was built in 247 AD, at the time of the Kingdom of Wu, during the Three Kingdoms period. Originally located beside Suzhou Creek, it was relocated to its current site in 1216 during the Song Dynasty. The current temple was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. During the Cultural Revolution, it was converted into a plastics factory. It was converted back to an active temple following reconstruction in 1983, and completely renovated in late 2003.

The Longhua Temple (Chinese: 龙华寺; pinyin: Lónghúa Sì, literally "Lustre of the Dragon Temple") is a Buddhist Temple dedicated to the Maitreya Buddha in Shanghai Municipality, China. Although most of the present-day buildings date from later reconstructions, the temple preserves the architectural design of a Song Dynasty monastery of the Buddhist Chan sect. It is the largest, most authentic and complete ancient temple complex in the city of Shanghai.

鲁迅公园，原称虹口公园，位于上海东江湾路146号。清光绪二十二年（1896年），上海公共租界工部局在界外的北四川路底购得农田237.288亩，在此圈地筹建万国商团打靶场，由英国园艺设计师，根据英国格拉斯哥体育公园模式，建成“虹口娱乐场”。1905年改建为虹口体育游戏场和打靶场。1922年改名为“虹口公园”。

虹口公园开了上海乃至中国现代体育运动的风气之先。作为大型综合性体育公园，园内共有1个九孔高尔夫球场，75片草地网球场，8片硬地网球场，3片足球场，5片草地滚球场，还有曲棍球篮球、棒球、田径等场地。根据工部局统计，民国24年（1935年），租界外侨总共才3．8万人，而仅在虹口公园一处直接参加体育活动的就达86103人次，在虹口公园打高尔夫还要排队。

共青森林公园（GongQing Forest Park）位于上海市东北部杨浦区军工路2000号，东面濒临黄浦江。共青森林公园原名共青苗圃，1986年更名为共青森林公园。公园总占地面积为1965亩，其中对外开放的绿地面积1870.6亩。

共青森林公园是以森林为主要景观的特色公园，共种植200余种树木，总数达30多万株。公园分为南北两园，北园占地1631亩称为共青森林公园，南园占地239.6亩称为万竹园。南北园风格各异，北园着重森林景色，有丘陵湖泊草地，南园则小桥流水一派南国风光。除观景之外，游人也可在园内骑马，烧烤和垂钓，成为节假日旅游的好去处。

公园本来是黄浦江边的滩涂沼泽，1956年上海市政府疏浚河道开垦荒地后辟为苗圃，1958年当时的团中央书记胡耀邦同志也曾带领青年支援者在此植树造林。

Shanghai Attractions

Shanghai, as a metropolis, has so many attractive scenic spots, which has become one of the important reasons for visiting.

The Bund:

The Bund is a waterfront and the most famous landmark in Shanghai, it represents the old time and the new days of Shanghai.

The Bund is from an Anglo Indian term meaning the muddy embankment on the waterfront, it helps to create the colonial feel and provides a feeling of space.

It starts from the Baidu Bridge, which is at the connecting point of the Huangpu River and the Suzhou Creek, to the East Jinling Road and winds a 1500 meters (less than one mile) length.

At the west shore of the Huangpu River, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower can be seen on the opposite side so as the Jin Mao Tower.

At the north end of the Bund and just over the Garden Bridge and Suzhou Creek, formerly it was the British embassy. Also here is a large and atmospheric blue painted building which is the Russian Embassy, sitting on the bank of the river. In colonial times, the Bridge was guarded by Japanese and British sentries, making the boundaries of territory.

On the west side of the Bund tower, there are various buildings of different architectural styles including Gothic, baroque, Romanesque, Classici** and the Renaissance. The combination creates a unique boulevard, which resembles the Liverpool Docks and 1920s New York.

The Bund is worth visiting if you go to Shanghai. In the evening, you can go to the Bund with your friends, to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Bund. While couples can wander along the bank waterfront, holding hands to experience the wonderful moment.

Yuyuan Garden:

Yuyuan garden is situated in the southwestern side of the city, not far from the Bund. Yuyuan Garden, a place of peace and comfort in the heart of bustling Shanghai, it is the largest of Shanghai's ancient gardens with architectural styles of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

There are more than 40 scenic spots scattered throughout the garden, which is divided into six parts by five boundary walls. The six scenic areas include the Grand Rockery- the most renowned sight in southeastern China, the Ten Thousand-Flower Pavilion, the Hall of Heralding Spring, the Hall of Jade Magnificence, the Inner Garden, and the Lotus Pool.

Yuyuan began as a private garden created by Pan Yunyuan, who spent almost 20 years - and all of his savings - to build a garden in order to please his parents in their old age.

Due to the decline of Pan's family after Pan Yuduan's death, Yuyuan gradually fell into disuse. Although the garden was improved by the local signiors, several civil conflicts in the mid-19th century caused great damage. In 1956, after Shanghai's liberation, the city government reconstructed the garden and refurbished its mien and beauty as in the old days. Yuyuan Garden was finally reopened to the public in 1961, and the State Department declared it a national monument in 1982. Now Yuyuan Garden attracts countless visitors at home and abroad every year.

The present-day Yuyuan occupies an area of two hectares (5 acres) and is built in a style associated with the renowned Suzhou gardens, which are characterized by an exquisite layout, beautiful scenery and artistic architecture. Each pavilion, hall, stone and stream in the garden expresses the essence of South China's landscape design from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Yuyuan Garden covers a significant space and includes a few halls, springs and other buildings of interest. The Queen of England visited here recently and took tea in the famous Huxinting Tea House. The tea house is something of an institution around these parts and quite quaint and interesting, it is extortionately over-priced.

What is nice about this area are the numerous antique markets and the **all side streets which have yet to be renovated by the authorities. There is a great antique market just off Shanghai "Old street" and another on a **all alley called Dongtai Lu. Be prepared to bargain hard in these places though. Some of the stuff is genuine but other "antiques" are less authentic and its slightly worrying that the most popular English word in these places seems to be "very old, very cheap"!

Nanjing Road:

Nanjing Road was the first commercial road in Shanghai. In the early 20th century, there were only four department stores along this stretch. Now it is the top shopping center of the city, a must-see metropolitan destination attracting thousands of fashion-seeking shoppers from all over the world. It is fantastically located, stemming off the Huangpu River and the Bund at a right angle and linking the city's main commercial and residential districts to the mouth of the river. The road to the east of Tibet Road is called East Nanjing Road while the road to the west is known as West Nanjing Road.

In the evenings, the street looks at its best, with neon lights and advertising billboards illuminating the glorious buildings along the road.

After the Opium War (1839-1842), Shanghai became a treaty port. Nanjing Road was first the British Concession, then the International Settlement. Importing large quantities of foreign goods, it became the earliest shopping street in Shanghai.

Over time, Nanjing Road has been restructured, undergoing significant change. For shopping convenience, its eastern end has an all-weather pedestrian arcade. Big traditional stores no longer dominate the market since modern shopping malls, specialty stores, theatres, and international hotels have mushroomed on both sides of the street.

Nowadays, over 600 businesses on Nanjing road offer countless famous brands, superior quality, and new fashions. KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and other world-famous food vendors line both sides of the street. Upscale stores include Tiffany, Mont Blanc, and Dunhill are also available. In addition, approximately a hundred traditional stores and specialty shops still provide choice silk goods, jade, embroidery, wool, and clocks.

Open-air bars, abstract sculptures, and lingering sounds from street musicians enhance evening strolls. A trackless sightseeing train provides a comfortable tour of the night-transformed pedestrian street. Flashing neon signs illuminate the magnificent buildings and spangle the night skyline of this lively city.

Xian Tian Di:

Xin Tian Di will be your closest match to what Lan Kwai Fong is in Hong Kong. Indeed, this ambitious area was built by Hong Kong's Shui On Group and contains stylish and expensive shops, pubs and restaurants. Prices for food generally start at RMB 200 but if you head into the 'mall' complex at Xin Tian Di south, you will find a McDonalds and a few medium-end restaurants where you can save your wallet from certain destruction. The Shikumen houses have been renovated to meet modern tastes and do not resemble anything you will find in traditional Shikumen areas.

Before the development of Shanghai Xin Tian Di, the area had been a spread of aged lanes crowded with mid-19th century Shikumen buildings which had witnessed the changes. The Shikumen style was a combination of influences from home and abroad, showing Shanghai's culture of that time.

Xin Tian Di Plaza is divided into North and South Blocks:

In the South Block, modern architecture is the motif while Shikumen is an accompaniment. In the north, preserved Shikumen set a nostalgic tone, forming a splendid contrast with the modernity to the south. A shopping, entertainment and leisure complex of 25,000 square meters in the South Block opened in mid 2002. Apart from a series of international restaurants representing the flavours of the world, there are classy boutiques, accessory shops, a food court, a cinema and a great one-stop fitness centre.

In the North Block, antique buildings with their modern interior design, decorations and equipment play host to a dazzling array of restaurants specializing in French, American, German, British, Brazilian, Italian, Japanese, Taiwanese and Hong Kong cuisine, putting on display the full international dimension of Shanghai Xin Tian Di. The dividing line between the two blocks, Xingye Road, is the site of the First Congress Hall of the Chinese Communist Party.

There are also Taipingqiao Lake and Park in central Xin Tian Di, which cover 44,000 square meters. Inside the park are tall trees and low-lying greenery, affording visitors a serene resting place. The lake is the largest man-made lake in downtown Shanghai, covering 12,000 square meters. At the centre of the lake are a set of impressive fountains and two little islets dotting the surface. The islets are named Magnolia and Unison.

When people walk on the gray flagstones and see the red and black bricks, lacquered doors and Baroque doorframes, they will feel as if they are back half a century. The scent of international food compound, the first-class service, and the blend of architecture, all formed the character of Shanghai Xin Tian Di.

Jade Buddha Temple (Yufo Si):

Jade Buddha Temple (Yufo Si) was built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1875-1909) and burned down in the early 20th century. In 1918, Jade Buddha Temple was rebuilt on Anyuan Road. The construction of the temple is in the magnificent architectural style of the Song Dynasty. The temple is composed of several compounds such as the Halls of Heavenly Kings, the Main Hall, the Hall of the Sleeping Buddha and the Hall of the Jade Buddha. There are monks currently living in the Temple and the Temple houses Shanghai Buddhist Institute. Many ancient statues, paintings, a complete set of Buddhist scriptures (printed in the Qing Dynasty) and over 7000 Dazang sutras are kept.

In the temple, there are two precious jade Buddhist statues. They are not only rare cultural relics but also porcelain artworks. Both the Sitting Buddha and the Recumbent Buddha are carved with whole white jade. The sparkling and crystal-clear white jade gives the Buddhas the beauty of sanctity.

The Sitting Buddha is 190 centimeters high and encrusted by the agate and the emerald, portraying the Buddha at the moment of his meditation and enlightenment. The Recumbent Buddha is 96 centimeters long, lying on the right side with the right hand supporting the head and the left hand placing on the left leg, this shape is called the 'lucky repose'. The sedate face shows the peaceful mood of Sakyamuni when he left this world. Furthermore there are many other ancient paintings and Buddhist scriptures distributed in the different halls of the temple.

Oriental Pearl TV Tower:

The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is located in Pudong Park in Lujiazui, Shanghai. The tower, surrounded by the Yangpu Bridge in the northeast and the Nanpu Bridge in the southwest, creates a picture of 'twin dragons playing with pearls'. The entire scene is a photographic jewel that excites the imagination and attracts thousands of visitors year-round.

Outer tower:

This 468 meters high (1,536 feet) tower is the world's third tallest TV and radio tower surpassed in height only by towers in Toronto, Canada and Moscow, Russia. However, even more alluring than its height is the tower's unique architectural design that makes the Oriental Pearl TV Tower one of the most attractive places anywhere. The base of the tower is supported by three seven-meter wide slanting stanchions. Surrounding the eleven steel spheres that are 'strung' vertically through the center of the tower are three nine-meter wide columns. There are three large spheres including the top sphere, known as the space module. Then there are five **aller spheres and three decorative spheres on the tower base. The entire structure rests on rich green grassland and gives the appearance of pearls shining on a jade plate.

Inner tower:

The inner tower is a recreational palace, while the Shanghai Municipal History Museum is located in the tower's pedestal. The large lower sphere has a futuristic space city and a fabulous sightseeing hall. From here, on a clear day a visitor can see all the way to the Yangtze River. The base of the tower is home to a science fantasy city. The five **aller spheres are a hotel that contains twenty-five elegant rooms and lounges. The pearl at the very top of the tower contains shops, restaurants, (including a rotating restaurant) and a sightseeing floor. The view of Shanghai from this height fills you with wonder at the beauty that surrounds you. When viewed from the Bund at night, the tower's three-dimensional lighting makes it a delight of brilliant color.

It deserves the name'Oriental Pearl TV Tower'.

AND
