A top tourist attraction in Shanghai

This afternoon, our guide will pick you up from you hotel. Drive to the Hongkou District, where Japanese army in the Second World War forced Jewish refugees to live in. Your Shanghai tour begins with a visit to Ohel Moishe Synagogue. Built in 1920 to accommodate the community of Baghdadi Jews (which at its peak numbered 700), it marked the culminating achievement of Shanghai's first wave of Jewish immigrants.
Continue your tour to Huoshan Park. Just inside the gate sits the only memorial to Shanghai's European Jewish refugees. Then visit the Russian Jewish Club, eventually became a club for the whole community. Since the Russians were the greatest Zionists in China, news of the establishment of the state of Israel, including Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion's Speech, was read to the community at the Jewsih Club in 1948. The site is now used by the Shanghai Music Conservatory.
