Shanghai has selected 205 "great places at your doorstep" so far, hitting the target of 200 by 2025 ahead of schedule, the city's cultural and tourism authorities said on Tuesday.
The places range from parks and green belts to fashion streets and blocks, art galleries and museums.
To date, the city has announced four batches of "great places at your doorstep."
The result was based on both votes from the public and experts' assessment.
They provide diversified options for residents to enrich their leisure life, and offer a glimpse into the city's natural landscape, lush greenery, culture and history, urban renewal progress, community life, mouthwatering delicacies, and innovation and ingenuity, officials said.
The Shanghai Administration of Culture and Tourism also unveiled six routes incorporating these places.
