上海文庙

Unclaimed

Highly recommended to go during weekdays or non public holidays to avoid the crowd. It's a lovely, neat and serene Confucian temple. It's hidden in residential areas so you need to look for it. 10 RMB for the entrant fee which I think it's absolutely worth it.

The only place in Shanghai I found myself alone. Of course the whole place is gorgeous as well and this is only amplified by this.

They hold a used book market here on Sunday mornings. That is an interesting sight and place to walk around. The Confucius temple itself that holds the market is also beautiful to walk around and take in.
