Great World, Shanghai, Entertainment complex in Huangpu District, China
Great World spans three four-story buildings with a central Baroque-inspired spire, providing entertainment across multiple levels in downtown Shanghai.
Founded in 1917 by businessman Huang Chujiu, the venue transformed from an amusement center into a cultural heritage site through numerous social changes in China.
The facility dedicates four floors to intangible cultural heritage exhibitions, displaying artifacts and hosting traditional theater performances from Shanghai and other Chinese regions.
Visitors can reach the center via Dashijie Station on Lines 8 and 14 or People's Square Station on Lines 1, 2, and 8, with operating hours from 9 AM to 5 PM.
The complex contains twelve distorting mirrors imported from the Netherlands, installed in the lobby area during its early period of operation.
