Yangpu District is offering juicy discounts at multiple tourist attractions, inviting visitors from home and abroad to contribute travel plans for the ongoing first season of the Shanghai tourism itinerary competition.

Dunhuang Contemporary Art Museum opened in 2024, featuring an exterior reminiscent of wind-sculpted sand dunes or arched caves, evoking the natural landscapes of Dunhuang in northwest China's Gansu Province. The facade flows with the rhythm of flowing clouds, echoing the aesthetic elements found in Dunhuang murals while adding rich variations to the structure of the museum.

The ongoing exhibition "TA: Higher Heights," centering on the themes of space, ritual, and literature and following the ancient Silk Road, brings together more than 20 precious cultural relics spanning a thousand years from the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 25-220) to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), as well as about 20 sets of contemporary artworks.

From multidisciplinary perspectives, including historical context, architectural styles, literary imagery and visual art, it presents a diverse observation and understanding of pagodas.

As Shanghai's only permanent art museum themed on Dunhuang, the museum integrates the millennium-old Dunhuang culture with contemporary artistic innovation to present a visual feast of Dunhuang aesthetics and avant-garde art.

Between December 5 and 10, it offers half-price admission for visitors.

Schokoladen Chocolate Theatre is an immersive chocolate-themed venue featuring over 100 types of Austrian chocolates for tasting. Visitors can learn about chocolate culture and production processes, and create their own chocolates to take home.

Between December 4 and 10, those who purchase tickets for the chocolate tour will get a 50 percent discount for a chocolate handmade experience.

Xinjiangwan City Culture and Sports Park, meanwhile, offers a discount of 68 yuan (US$9.62) per person for the "Amazon water voyage" tour program compared to the normal 318 yuan per person price.

The waterfront-integrated park has four areas – culture, sports, landscape, and water activities, combining leisure and ecological experiences. The voyage allows visitors to paddle 4.2 kilometers through Shanghai's "Little Amazon" water system, observe migratory birds, and enjoy the ecological wetland, offering a peaceful escape for sports and relaxation.

Xinjiangwan SMP Skate Park is offering half-price admission through the end of December.

It is Asia's largest extreme sports park featuring Olympic-level skate venues and pump tracks, suitable for skateboarding, BMX, rollerblading, and other extreme sports. With high green coverage and proximity to natural water, it boasts a beautiful environment perfect for photography.

This 13,700-square-meter park hosts professional skating, BMX freestyle, rollerblading and balance biking.
