A short walk in the Tilanqiao Historic Area, the heart of the wartime Shanghai Ghetto where about 18,000-23,000 Jewish refugees were confined in 1943-1945: the museum in the former Ohel Moshe Synagogue, the neighbourhood park beside it and the old lanes towards Xiahai Temple.
Best time: Daytime; the museum needs most of the time (check its hours).
