Loved it. It was really cool seeing shanghai from those models and all the plans they have for 2035 and 2050 and on one of the floors they had a massive moving picture that was 2 floors high.

The models of the buildings and areas in Shanghai are amazing. For me the main highlight is just how well this museum displays al
