Features: Shanghai Famous Buildings Record includes five major parts: "European and American-Style Buildings on the Shanghai Coast," "Magnificent Seafront Mansions," "Elegant and Serene Shikumen and Jiangnan Residences," "Distinctive Temples, Monasteries, Pavilions, and Bridges," and "New Landmarks of an International Metropolis."
The first part introduces the famous Bund building complex, as well as large-scale, outstanding financial, commercial, entertainment, hotel, restaurant, cultural, educational, residential, and municipal buildings. The second part features elegant and renowned garden houses where famous figures once lived and worked. The third part showcases the most typical Shikumen architecture, modern lanes (xinshi liding), and ancient residences deeply rooted in Jiangnan style. The fourth part includes influential religious buildings of Chinese and foreign origins, as well as other notable structures. The fifth part highlights the most urban and Haihai-style landmarks in Shanghai since the reform and opening-up.
Each part is preceded by an introduction, and the entire book is further guided by a preface. Every building is presented as an independent chapter, with titles reflecting its characteristics and features. While ensuring the authenticity of the information, the book uses lively and vivid language to engage readers. The text primarily connects famous buildings with economic, political, and humanistic history, though a few chapters link famous figures with buildings. Additionally, the book includes a list of protected historical and cultural sites, outstanding architectural units, and award-winning buildings at the end.
