【推荐1】Moganshan Road No. 50

In the characteristic industrial buildings of a former textile mill (纺织厂), you will find a significant group of contemporary art galleries, and some cafes and craft shops. The collection of galleries comes and goes. Some are stored upstairs in the buildings alongside other creative businesses so it is a good place to explore.

Power Station of Art

Housed in the massive renovated (翻修) Nanshi Power Station and keeping its noticeable 541-foot chimney, the museum overlooks the river and the sites of the 2010 Expo. Power Station of Art is China’s only state-run contemporary art museum. It was opened in 2012 to stage the splendid Shanghai Biennale. The museum is so large that it can put on several exhibitions at the same time on its many floors. It has no permanent collection so the shows keep changing.

• Free admission except some special exhibitions

China Art Museum

Your art tour of Shanghai really ought to include this irresistible, and often exhausting, museum, in the previous Chinese Expo pavilion (展馆) on the other side of the river in Pudong. Works on display cover modern and contemporary periods, and there are numerous temporary exhibitions, including touring shows from abroad. Information tends to be in Chinese, making it a little more challenging. A visit is worth it just for the fantastic building and its views of the city.

【推荐3】Everybody knows that Massachusetts is a great place to see fall leaves. But surely there   are other places to catch the leaves turning green to reddish-golden? The short answer is yes.

Aspen, Colorado

Aspen—as its name suggests—doesn’t fail to impress with its backdrop of majestic snow-capped mountains. Head to the Maroon Bells to look into mirror-like lakes to see double: on a calm day, the mountains and trees are reflected in the still waters.

Bavaria, Germany

Take a trip into a Brothers Grimm fairytale. Not only can you catch breathtaking views—such as castles emerging from red, green and golden trees—but you can experience the region’s fall traditions, such as the “Almabtrieb” event, bringing in the cattle from the grasslands, and local parish (教区) fairs, called “Kirchweih-Feste” where beer is everywhere.

Catskills, Upstate New York

If spotting fall in one state isn’t enough, head to the Catskills, where you can see five states at once. Head to the Northern Catskills of Greene County, to the “Five State Lookout” in Windham, where you can view treetops in New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, as well as beautiful scenery of the Hudson River Valley.

Edinburgh, Scotland

This city is made for fall with its tree-lined streets and big open parks. Head to Princes Street Gardens, which is home to some of the city’s most typical monuments, such as the storybook-style Gardeners’ Cottage and the Scott Monument, or take a hike through Holyrood Park, marveling as the russet tones (红褐色) cover the rolling hills which climb up to the famed Arthurs Seat offering full views of the city and beyond.
