First the sculpture in the middle is pretty impressive and (obviously) has colurful lighting in the evenings.
Second be careful when crossing - cars drive both directions on this roundabout.

"... A fully functioning sundial, the needle running through the center of the object has been aligned by astronomers from the Shanghai Observatory to point north, so the fall of the shadow tells the time of day.
Erected at the top of Century Avenue, it was completed in 2000 and meant to represent the city entering into a new century. Zhong Song, perhaps best known for his design of the sunken plaza and traffic hub in the Wujiaochang area in northern Shanghai, submitted the winning bid while still a student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

This is a massively large roundabout at the end (or beginning) of Century Avenue and intersects with the not less large Yanggao Road. The sculpture, if I am not mistaken, is called ‘Oriental Light' and is illuminated at night. To the South-East the roundabout connects to Century Square, with the nearby Science and Technology Museum and the Oriental Arts Center.
