Strolling leisurely around Jing'an Temple

On Sunday, taking advantage of the end of spring, I wandered around the vicinity of Jing'an Temple. First, I came out of Exit 12 of Jing'an Temple subway station and walked along Huashan Road to the time-honored brand pavilion at 263 Huashan Road, which used to be the office of the Bright Food Group, and even earlier, it can be traced back to the private residence of the British man Draymond in 1899. After visiting 263, I walked to the nearby Jing'an Park. In the bustling Jing'an Temple business district, this is a precious piece of greenery where one can stroll, exercise, read books..., and enjoy the tranquil natural atmosphere. Today, there are several educated youth song and dance troupes performing. Exiting the park, there is the 'Fengsheng Li·Jing'an Temple Square', Reel Department Store, and Kerry Centre not far away, and I visited Mao Zedong's former residence from 1920. Crossing the road and returning to Jiuguang Department Store next to Jing'an Temple, the lively crowd and the children's performances made it hard to leave. After having enough of the mall, I came out and arrived at the former residence of Liu Changsheng, which is now the Exhibition Hall of the History of the Underground Struggle of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai... Taking it easy, I circled around Jing'an Temple, admiring the beautiful old villas, browsing the magnificent commercial centers, enjoying performances by the elderly and children in the quiet park and the bustling mall, visiting the red historical sites..., it was truly a fulfilling and enjoyable day.

Bund Skyline Magic✨

The Bund

Modern Marvels & Timeless Views in Shanghai 🚶♂️🏙️ Get ready for an urban adventure through Shanghai’s must-see icons, blending sleek skyscrapers, buzzing cultural spots, and riverside romance—all in one unforgettable stroll! Start with Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, the liveliest shopping boulevard in China (Henan Middle Road, Huangpu District, open all day). Dive into laidback morning walks or prime evening people-watching. Pro tip: Early arrival means fewer crowds and soft sunlight for your shots. Don’t miss snaps featuring modern storefronts framed by heritage buildings—super insta-worthy on a sunny day! Next, head to The Bund (Zhongshan East Road, right by the Huangpu River—open all day), Shanghai’s dreamy riverside promenade lined with colonial architecture and shimmering city skylines. For that epic photo, pose with the futuristic Pudong skyline behind you, especially as day turns to neon-lit night. Take a moment to soak up both the city buzz and gentle river breeze—my personal highlight! Finish by hopping onto the Jinling East Road Ferry (No.141 Bund, open 7:00 AM–9:00 PM) for a unique, budget-friendly way to cross the river. The Ferry offers front-row city views, especially on cloudy or rainy days—the contrast with gleaming glass towers is unreal. Pack a light raincoat just in case, as weather shifts quickly. Quick Tips: Wear comfy shoes, as you’ll be on your feet all day. Plan to visit in the early morning or late evening for magical light and fewer crowds. Always keep an eye out for changing weather! #Shanghai #UrbanAdventure #ModernArchitecture #TheBund #CityViews
