10 FAMOuS PLACES IN SHANGHAI

1. Shanghai Maglev Train - The magnetic-levitation train ride from the international airport to the city is the perfect metaphor for Shanghai. 2. Fuxing Park - Start your own walk in Fuxing Park smack-dab in the colonial-era French Concession, with its shady sycamore trees and stuccoed villas. 3. Shanghai Museum - The Shanghai Museum, located on People’s Square. 4. Din Tai Fung - The soup dumpling, or xiaolong bao, is to Shanghai what the chicken wing is to Buffalo. A delicate dumpling skin is wrapped around a juicy pork filling (or, in deluxe versions, crab), and like magic, the dumpling also contains a shot of tasty broth. 5. Dong Tai Road - There’s a store on Dong Tai Road, a chockablock stretch of antique and curio shops off Xizang Road. 6. Green Massage - Traditional Chinese acupressure is not for the weak. Chinese acupressure is a little like China itself: You may be blinking back tears of pain, but ultimately, it’s a rewarding experience. 7. 50 Moganshan Road - Chinese contemporary art now sells at international auctions. A collection of once-deserted warehouses near Suzhou Creek, Moganshan now houses Shanghai’s best contemporary art galleries. 8. The Bund - Yes, this riverfront boardwalk is touristy, a particular magnet for Chinese farmers in polyester suits who come to gawp at all the fashionable Shanghainese. 9. Jishi - True Shanghai food is a world away from what you get at home in paper take-out cartons. The best place to try local eats is Jishi. The place is tiny and always crowded. 10. Vue Bar - Shanghai is a vertical city, so you should climb up and enjoy the view. The aptly named Vue Bar, located on the 32nd and 33rd floors of the new Hyatt on the Bund, offers tremendous vistas of both the historic waterfront and Pudong, the futuristic business district on the other side of the Huangpu River.

Keynote Title: “The World Becomes What You Teach” What is the purpose of education? What do we want our students to learn from us? What knowledge, tools, and habits of mind and heart do we want to ensure they have upon graduation? These questions underlie the world that our students will ultimately create, and our answers to them can pave the way for a more peaceful, healthy, and humane world for all.
