Shanghai Grand Stage, formerly known as Shanghai Gymnasium, is located opposite the famous Huating Hotel in southwest Shanghai. Shanghai Indoor Stadium established in 1975 was once one of the largest gymnasiums in China. In 1999, it was rebuilt and renamed Shanghai Grand Stage.

Shanghai Lyceum Theatre
Lyceum Theatre, founded in 1930, was located at Maoming Lu and surrounded by some first-class hotels such as Garden Hotel, Jin Jiang Hotel, etc. It was renamed Shanghai Arts Theatre in 1952 but its original name was restored in 1992. The theatre was rebuilt a few years ago and shown a new unique look to the world. The design of the auditorium is a combination of contemporary nostalgia and Roman architecture of the 18th Century, giving it a feeling of resplendence, magnificence and pageantry. The stage retained the original elegant European architectural style. With a seating capacity of 680, the theatre is suitable for performances of drama or small scale musical and symphony concerts. Lyceum Theatre embodies a comfortable environment and convenient transportation which attracts a lot of visitors home and abroad.
