Great World, Shanghai, Entertainment complex in Huangpu District, China

Great World is an amusement arcade and entertainment complex at the corner of Yan'an Road and Middle Xizang Road in Huangpu District, Shanghai. The 1928 rebuilding gave it an eclectic facade borrowing from European Baroque, with rows of dark-framed rectangular windows, small balconies with white balustrades, and a lower domed wing to one side. Its landmark is a four-storey tower: a square base, open colonnaded tiers with arches, and a slender finned top.

Huang Chujiu opened Great World on 14 July 1917 at Avenue Edward VII and Yu Ya Ching Road. It was rebuilt in 1928 in an eclectic style borrowing from European Baroque, with a four-storey tower. Huang Jinrong bought it in 1931. On 14 August 1937, during the Battle of Shanghai, two bombs from a damaged Chinese bomber exploded in front of the packed venue, killing or injuring about two thousand people. Renamed People's Amusement Arcade after 1949, it reverted in 1958, became the Shanghai Youth Palace in 1974, and reopened as Great World Entertainment Centre on 25 January 1981. Closed in 2003, it reopened in March 2017.

The name Dashijie has become the name of the surrounding locality and of a nearby Metro station on Line 8. Since July 2020 the venue has run a performing-arts night market on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, when plays are staged. The twelve distorting mirrors imported from the Netherlands remain in the lobby.

Great World stands at the junction of Middle Xizang Road and Yan'an Road, between People's Square and Dashijie stations on the metro, the latter named after the venue. The 1928 layout is unchanged, so the floors connect around the central tower. Evening sessions with staged plays run on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

The entrance hall contains twelve distorting mirrors that were brought from the Netherlands during the venue's early years and are still in place today. They were once a main draw for visitors coming to laugh at their own reflections, and they remain one of the few original features still on display.
