People from all over Shanghai have come because of the popularity of 'Blooming Flowers', making Huanghe Road popular once again

The prototype of Li Li's Zhenzhen Garden in the drama is the real-life Taisheng Garden. In 1993, it was one of the earliest local restaurants to settle on Huanghe Road, located at the intersection of Huanghe Road and Dingxing Road. It is said that due to 'Blooming Flowers', the seats in Taisheng Garden are booked until the end of the month👏 At its peak, there were more than sixty restaurants on this street, making it a true gourmet street. However, this gourmet street has lost its glory of the 90s, and the current Huanghe Road is somewhat rundown and lonely. Apart from the long queues at the International Hotel at the street corner and the young people who come to check in at Taisheng Garden, there are basically some small street-side shops further in. 📍Address: Huanghe Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai 🚇Subway1️⃣: Take Line 1 to Xinjiazui, walk about 500 meters to reach 🚇Subway2️⃣: Take Line 2 to People's Square, walk about 500 meters to reach 🚌Bus1️⃣: Take Bus 15 to Beijing West Road Tibet Middle Road Station, walk about 100 meters to reach 🚌Bus2️⃣: Take Bus 18/46/108 to Tibet Middle Road Beijing East Road Station, walk about 400 meters to reach 🌟Surroundings: Nearby are People's Park, Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Natural History Museum, etc. 👉Shooting route: Get off at Nanjing West Road on Line 12: 📍Meilongzhen Restaurant 📍Commander Coffee Shop 📍Daguangming Cinema 📍International Hotel 📍Taisheng Garden 📍Huanghe Road 📍Apricot Flower Building 📍Yangtze Apartment 📍Cantonese Restaurant 📍Big World 📍Freshly Arrived Rice Cake 📍Nanjing East Road 📍First Food Company 📍Shen Dacheng 👉Others: East Sea Coffee Shop, Peace Hotel, Sinan Mansion, Fuxing Park, Cathay Cinema, Bund 27, Shanghai Exhibition Center. 👉Shooting suggestions: 1⃣Use long focal length, live mode, find foreground to avoid crowds. 2⃣Color adjustment, white balance adjustment to yellow-green, also find more warm and cold contrasting colors when shooting, yellow lights, clothes, etc. 3⃣Filter post-production selection of Hong Kong style, appropriately reduce exposure, color tone to the left⬅️increase green tone, color temperature to the right➡️increase warm color. 4⃣Wong Kar-wai color tone, more green and yellow, look for more on the road (similar to the entrance of Shen Dacheng). Tips: 1、Freshly arrived pork rib rice cake is really good to eat after shooting. 2、Rainy day shooting comes with atmosphere, transparent umbrella is very useful. Hope everyone can shoot big films for free. Let Huanghe Road be more lively.

The Bund

✨ Classic Skyline Magic at The Bund, Shanghai ✨ Nothing captures Shanghai’s cosmopolitan spirit quite like The Bund! Stretching along the Huangpu River, this legendary waterfront exudes old-meets-new charm—think colonial-era architecture with futuristic towers glittering across the water. 🧭 How to Explore: Start your stroll early on Zhongshan East Road for tranquil vibes and dreamy sunlight—perfect for taking in the city’s energy before tourists and locals flood in. Head north from the Peace Hotel, moving towards Huangpu Park, and keep your camera ready for shifting light over the river. 📸 Photo Spots: Spot your best angle from right where the buildings curve near the riverbank—the gold and silver morning light makes both the vintage facades and Pudong’s high-rise silhouettes absolutely insta-worthy! Pro tip: the first hour after sunrise is pure magic here. 🎯 Must-Do Experiences: Snap iconic photos of the skyline (Oriental Pearl Tower steals the show), people-watch at historic buildings, and soak up the blend of languages, fashion, and cultures along the walkway. If you get hungry, vintage cafes nearby serve traditional and fusion eats! 💡 Visiting Tips: Arrive super early, as you mentioned—the best photos and vibes come long before crowds settle in. The sunrise window is also cooler and more comfortable. Bring a light jacket if you plan to linger, and consider a portable tripod for low-light shots. ⚠️ Precautions: The walkway can be slippery after rain, so dress accordingly. Beware of touts offering “river tours” at inflated prices. Most areas are open all-day, but busy weekends mean more traffic, so stick to weekday mornings if you can. #Shanghai #TheBund #CityViews #TravelTips #Architecture
