and explain your impressions of this place
When I was in Shanghai last spring, I had some extra time one day and went to the Shanghai Concert Hall. It was time very well spent.
Built in 1930, the 78-year-old building is located on the central of downtown and is a typical classical architecture in a European style. The theaters classical European architecture makes it one of the most famous architectural and cultural heritages sites in Shanghai. Music performed here is usually classical music, although there are exceptions.
The acoustics are so fantastic that many world-famous artists have been attracted to perform in this hall, including violinists maestro Isaac Stern, Salvatore Accardo, Choliang Lin and cellists Yoyo Ma; pianists Alieda de Larrocha, FU Chong, YING Chunzhong as well as the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra and many others have given high appraisals after giving their successful concerts here.
I was very impressed by the atmosphere and intimacy of the hall. The sound is clear, full-bodied, and clean for every vocal part and the mix is perfect. Even without microphones, every one of the nearly 2,000 members in the audience could hear the speech given by conductor. With its stunning architecture, advanced facilities and modern management, the center will be the crowning jewel of Shanghais many performing venues. Not to be missed!!!

Where it is
The Shanghai Concert Hall is located in a park between Peoples Square and the shopping street of Huaihai Lu - when I first came to Shanghai, I lived just around the corner.
What kind of music is performed there
Built in 1930 and originally called the Nanking Theatre, this concert hall holds regular concert mainly from international music troupes.
Why people go there
The project cost 150 million yuan and is the largest among similar endeavors made by the east China metropolis.
Many widely known musical celebrities such as conductor Tang Muhai and Zhang Guohai started their careers here.
It echoes from the ghosts of many many many great artists who performed there
And explain your impressions of this place
The concert hall is decorated with marble pillars, Roman chandeliers and other architectural designs.
Sixteen huge marble pillars are seen when audiences step into the lobby, and the front hall is deliberately ornamented with elegant patterns of slightly solemnized color, which is very much in harmony with the music played inside.
Most notably, theres a large television jumbotron on a nearby building. It plays commercials, and theres speakers lying about to play the commercials sound at night. Kind of annoying, really.
