Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. We ended up in Shanghai but being 'shanghied' usually means being taken from a place against your will. If this happened to you in the 19th century Shanghai where would you have ended up?

Answer: at sea

Sailors who were tricked, drugged or beaten into becoming a member of a ship's crew in the days of sail were said to be shanghied. The city's position on the East China Sea put it on the shipping lanes; lax law enforcement probably also contributed to men being abducted. It has become a generalized term for impressment of seamen.
2. The Danes are quite proud of the Tivoli Gardens; many Canadians like the Butchart Gardens; Londoners may recommend the Kew Gardens. Can you name the large Chinese garden located in Shanghai?

Answer: Yu Garden

Also called the Yuyuan Garden, the Yu Garden was first envisioned in 1559 during the Ming Dynasty. It was shepherded into being by the Pan family but its expansiveness eventually caused the financial ruin of the family. It contains many pavilions, rockeries and ponds and covers about five acres.
3. Shanghai is a city in touch with its past. There are many museums to explore including the one pictured here, featuring ancient Chinese art. What do you think its name might be?

Answer: Shanghai Museum

Shanghai is a modern city but it appreciates what went before. Simply named, the Shanghai Museum displays evidence Chinese civilization going back to the Neolithic Period (circa 10,000 BC) as well as brushwork, bronzes and furniture as much as 6,000 years old. The museum opened in 1952; it has been in its current location, pictured here, since 1996.
4. This picture is of a historic bridge in Shanghai, built in 1571. Can you guess its name, without being bitten?

Answer: Fangsheng Bridge

Many bridges in the Shanghai region were built during the Ming And Qing Dynasties (1368-1911). Of the 36 bridges in the old Zhujiajiao District, Fangsheng Bridge (meaning Setting-fish-free Bridge) with its five openings, is the largest. Four stone lions guard the bridge.
5. The main shopping street of Shanghai is named after a city in neighboring Jiangsu province. What is it called?

Answer: Nanjing Road

Going back to 1845, when it was called Park Lane, Nanjing Road is the world's longest shopping district at 3.4 mi/5.5 km. It is a pedestrian mall and is divided into east and west sections. Over a million people visit it annually.
6. Dating back to the 1870s, an area in the center of Shanghai shows the architecture of the period. Inside you will find updated galleries, cafes and boutiques. It won't be a sin if you guess it correctly.

Answer: Xin Tian Di

Literally meaning New Heaven and Earth, Xin Tian Di has kept the stone walls and exteriors of the Shikumen (stone gate) district of old Shanghai. Inside the walls, which show both Chinese and European influences, is an upscale shopping, eating and entertainment center.
7. It may look like the Jetsons' version of the Eiffel Tower but it actually has a more mundane purpose. What is its name?

Answer: Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower

Ostensibly a radio and TV tower, inside the three spheres of the Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower are shops, a hotel and a science fantasy city. At the top is a rotating restaurant. Construction began in 1991 and was completed in 1994. At 1,536 ft/368 m it was the tallest building in China until the Shanghai World Financial Center was completed in 2008.
8. Looking and sounding like it might be in Germany, this section of Shanghai gets its name from a word meaning embankment or levee. You'll be a hot dog if you can identify it.

Answer: Bund

Situated along the Huangpu River, the Bund was originally a British settlement. Dozens of buildings were added, showing strong Gothic, Baroque and Romanesque architecture. In the early 20th century it was a major financial hub in East Asia.
9. You can't get much farther away from the modern world than this. I won't ask you to guess the name of this section of Shanghai (it's Zhujiajiao) but can you guess its elegant Asian-influenced nickname?

Answer: Pearl Stream

Zhujiajiao was established about 1,700 years ago, but there are archeological findings in the Pearl Stream dating back 5,000 years. Travel is mostly by boat or on foot. Well known for its cuisine, you will also find historical buildings including a Qing Dynasty post office.
10. In 2010, Shanghai was the host city for a certain world event. Do you know its name?

Answer: Expo

Expo 2010 (officially Expo 2010 Shanghai China) was the first world exposition or fair held in China since the American-Chinese Exposition of 1920 (also in Shanghai). Expositions have been held throughout the world for over 200 years. Shanghai's theme for its Expo, "Better City-Better Life" was meant to show Shanghai's status as an influential and great city. Over 73-million people visited it during the six months it was open.
