Children's Palace

The Shanghai Children's Palace provides after school education for gifted children, include traditional Chinese instruments, plus typing and other useful skills. The Shanghai Children's Palace was founded in 1953 by Song Qingling (Madam Sun Yatsen).

Located at No.64 of Yanan Road in central Shanghai, the Children's Palace now is an interesting place for foreigners to visit, where many enjoyable performances will be shown by Chinese children. For the result of the fact that it is an old style building from Shanghai's opulent past, it has a special attrition. In recent years, it has been given new life as well as the other old mansions in Shanghai.
