Shanghai's History Museum is interestingly located in the basement of the 'Space Module' TV tower. Visiting it is a great way to get a feel for the place as it was a century and more ago.
There's a courtroom scene, for example, where the 'mixed court' (British/Chinese) system was being practised.
There are opium dens, of course. And brothels.
And Europeans enjoying a rather fine lifestyle.
The Bund, looking much as it does today, except there are no skyscrapers behind it.
