2 Best Performing Arts Venues in Shanghai, China

Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center

French Concession Fodor's choice

The city's premier theater venue and troupe, the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center presents an award-winning lineup of its own original pieces, plus those of other cutting-edge groups around China. It also stages Chinese-language adaptations, sometimes very inventive, of Western works, such as a festival of Samuel Beckett works reinterpreted through Chinese opera.

Shanghai Disneyland

Pudong
The first Disney resort in Mainland China opened in 2016. It's high on the must-see list for most domestic and international visitors, so expect it to be busy, particularly on weekends and during holidays. The park is well laid out, with an Adventure Isle, Fantasyland, Gardens of Imagination, Toy Story Land, Tomorrowland, and Treasure Cove. Smaller children will love the whole experience; teenagers and parents will find the Tron ride particularly entertaining.
