A venerable Shanghai hotel, the filming location for Wong Kar-wai's "Flourishing".

🏨 The Peace Hotel in Shanghai ❤ Why it's recommended: With the recent airing of the series "Blossoms," director Wong Kar-wai has beautifully encapsulated the cultural allure and charm of old Shanghai. I stayed in the Fairmont room, where I was greeted with a thoughtful and adorable welcome gift of fruits and Christmas desserts. 🌟 Highlighted Features: Choosing to stay at the Peace Hotel was entirely to immerse myself in the historical ambiance of old Shanghai. Although some facilities may seem a bit dated, considering the hotel was established in 1929, the overall maintenance is commendable. You can also take a memorable photo on the staircase where the movie "Tiny Times" was filmed! 🍽 Dining Recommendations: Breakfast is served in a quaint dining room, and please note, slippers are not allowed! 👍 Highly Recommended: The most noteworthy experience is the evening performance by the elderly jazz band, allowing you to soak in the glitz and glamour of Shanghai nightlife. The hotel attracts a considerable number of foreigners, possibly drawn by the historical allure of the Peace Hotel. The performance ends at midnight, and we arrived just an hour before, to find it fully booked. However, the atmosphere was truly intoxicating, especially when paired with a glass of red wine, making you feel as if you were part of the scene! If you wish to experience the charm of old Shanghai... you must stay at the Peace Hotel at least once. #thingstodoshanghai

✨ 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
