I visited the Shanghai Old City Walls while touring the Old City to try and get a glimpse of times past in the city. Although the original wall measured about 3 miles long only a small 50-yard section remains. Entrance was fairly cheap, I think just 5 yuan. There is a small exhibit on life in the Chinese Old City but the descriptions are all in Chinese with no English signage to be found. Compared to the wall of Nanjing there is preciously little to do here; I would suggest a visit only if you really have an interest in this sort of thing.

As "Rich_88888" indicated this is best seen as a stop in between the GuanDi Temple next door while walking towards XinTianDi. Right on the corner of Dajing Road, this is a remnant of an original section of the city wall with some nice Chinese carvings. Not a lot to see - especially if you cannot read Chinese, but it's a cheap historical diversion in a city that is scrapping it's history.

the upstairs has a really cool temple and when you look back through the red doors, it's quite scenic. felt like old China.

downstairs, inside is a small space and i would love to have read the panels but they were all in Chinese. i did stumble upon a calligraphy class in session and that was cool.

also, a nice clean western toilet is inside. bonus!

Not even close to the 5-star Wall north of Beijing. It's old, which gets it the two stars. It is repaired to an almost modern look and small, which makes the significance hard to appreciate. Ideally planned as a pitstop in-between two other destinations. The picture on this website pretty much shows it all. There are public restrooms.

The wall itself is sort-of-OK. It is an old city wall - nothing special. However, head down the side street a few metres and there is an entry way through a wall. Here you can climb to the top of the wall for the obligatory photo, but it is also the entrance to the pavilion.

Inside the pavilion is a temple, a small museum and a collection of old musical instruments. We were very lucky, just the two of us in the room when a young lady smiled at us and sat down at one of the instruments. A free 5-minute concert!

Not saying you will also get the added bonus, but the temple is well worth spending half-an-hour or so.

The Great Wall it ain't but if you are into history this will interest you. A short (read 20 ft) section of what once was the wall that surrounded the entire city. Not overly impressive nor grandiose, it is however worth noting for what it represented. The pavilion next door does charge admission however to see the wall is free.

If you are not into history then give it a pass.

If you are walking past then for 5 yuan it is worth a visit. Small calligraphy museum and temple in the grounds it will only take 15 minutes to walk around. It is quiet so dose give you a chance to get out of the crowds.

A fascinating and beautiful little temple on a section of the old wall. A little bit over-renovated, perhaps, but nevertheless a little gem and definitely worth a visit. Both the temple and wall sections are open to the public.
