SHANGHAI, Oct. 8, 2022 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/--
The opening of the Museum of Art Pudong (MAP) in 2021 was a huge success, not
only because of its architectural style - the marble-and-glass rectangle along
the Huangpu River - but also because of its world-class opening exhibitions by
Britain's Tate, Spain's Fundacio Joan Miro, and Chinese fireworks artist Cai
Guoqiang.
On Sept. 30, 2022, a new exhibition "The Dynamic Eye: Op and Kinetic Art from
the Tate Collection" was shown at the MAP in the Lujiazui area.
Hence, the MAP is listed in eight tourist routes unveiled by the Pudong
government, according to the Information Office of Shanghai Pudong New Area
People's Government.
As its name suggests, the "Pudong in the Eyes of Expats" routes are especially
designed for expats.
Statistics show Pudong has gathered the regional headquarters of over 400
multinational companies, and over 100,000 overseas talent. The routes show them
different sides of Pudong's charm, from the ancient water town to the world's
second tallest building, or the bustling commercial complexes to the ecological
parks.

There are inevitable bouts of homesickness for anyone far from home. But in
most cases, Matthew John Haynes can find a cure here in Shanghai.
The Briton has been living in Pudong for about seven years as a teacher at
Dulwich College.
Like many of his colleagues, he settled down in the international community of
Biyun, near the school campus. But a short commute isn't the only reason he
chose Pudong to make his home.
"I like Pudong," he said. "It's a little bit quieter which is nice for me
because I come from the countryside. I get to be in the biggest city in the
world and still just a short distance to some quiet and pleasant places."
If Biyun is the quiet side of Pudong, then Lujiazui stands as the contrary:
dotted with high-rises, thronged with visitors. Haynes loves it, though.
"It's a big mix, a lot of opportunities for everybody," he said, noting that
there's a lot of different ways of understanding the world in Pudong and
Shanghai.
"I really like the open spaces in Pudong. I like Century Park and places where
you can have outdoor recreation. It's also very exciting for the families. You
can come to an art museum, science and technology museum, and aquarium," he
added.
On September 30th, Haynes viewed the "The Dynamic Eye: Op and Kinetic Art from
the Tate Collection" exhibition at the Museum of Art Pudong (MAP).
It's his first time visiting the MAP and it's an impressive experience. It
seems to provide a new option to cure his homesickness.
"I'm British. Today is the first day of the exhibition from the Tate gallery.
See! Even the floor we're standing on is from the Tate exhibition," he said,
gently stamping his feet. "So, it's very exciting. It's really nice for me
personally."
