One-Day Shanghai Tour | Experience the Charm of the Dreamy City

| Experience the Charm of the Dreamy City. In Shanghai, a charming city, even a day can bring countless wonderful encounters. Now, follow this guide to start a unique trip to this magical city! Literary Stroll, Encountering History and Romance Morning: Wukang Building - Wukang Road - Former Residence of Soong Ching Ling • Wukang Building: This highly recognizable building is a landmark in Shanghai. Here, you can take a beautiful panoramic photo of the building in front of the "Old Mack Cafe" diagonally opposite the building, and you can also get a special architectural stamp at the "Dayin Book Bureau" on the first floor. • Wukang Road: Known as the "condensed modern history of Shanghai," there are more than 30 former residences of celebrities along the road, full of historical charm. Strolling through it, you can also check out the literary and artistic shops in the Wukang Ting Art Block, or taste the "CORNER CONE GELATO" popular ice cream. • Former Residence of Soong Ching Ling: Step into this place to feel the life of a great person and learn about her contributions to the country and the people. Noon: Jing'an Temple - Nanjing West Road Business Circle • Jing'an Temple: The oldest Buddhist temple in Shanghai, with its golden roof shining brightly. The square in front of the temple offers a unique view of the magnificent buildings contrasting with modern skyscrapers. The vegetarian noodles at "Fuhuiyuan," the vegetarian restaurant in the temple, are also worth a try. • Nanjing West Road Business Circle: If you are tired of shopping, come here to rest, taste the delicacies of Xintiandi Western Point, the cafes near Jing'an Temple, or order a takeaway of Xiaolong from the Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant in City God Temple, which is super cost-effective. Modern City, Experiencing the Prosperity of Shanghai Afternoon: Lujiazui - Yu Garden & City God Temple • Lujiazui: China's financial center, home to the "Duoyun Bookstore" on the 52nd floor of the Shanghai Tower, where you can enjoy a free panoramic view of the city (reservation required). You can also take an up-angle shot of the "Kitchen Three-Piece Set" on the overpass to feel the futuristic sense of Shanghai. • Yu Garden & City God Temple: Yu Garden is a model of Jiangnan gardens in the Ming Dynasty. The "Yu Linglong" Taihu stone in the garden is a treasure of the garden. "Yu Garden Cultural and Creative" at the exit can buy special souvenirs. The City God Temple is the core area of Shanghai folk culture. The Zigzag Bridge Lake Heart Pavilion in the Yu Garden business district is a must-see classic spot. The Xiaolongbao at Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant (crab roe buns require queuing) should not be missed. Evening to Night: The Bund - Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street • The Bund: The classic combination of the Bund International Architecture Exhibition and the night view of the Huangpu River. The Customs Building's bell tolls on the hour. The viewing platform of the "Pudong Art Museum" on the North Bund has fewer people and beautiful scenery. It is recommended to arrive before 17:00 to enjoy the beautiful scenery before and after sunset. • Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street: The first street of Chinese commerce, here you will find the giant chocolate bean wall of "M&M's World," the time-honored "Shenda Cheng" Qingtuan/fresh meat mooncakes, and the vintage trams shuttling through the street, creating a super atmospheric night view. Helpful Tips 1. Transportation: Download the "Metro Daduhui" APP to scan the code to take the subway. The ferry supports Alipay's "Travel" scan code, making travel super convenient 🚇 2. Tickets: Some attractions require advance reservations, such as the Shanghai Tower, Duoyun Bookstore, Yu Garden, etc. Remember to arrange your itinerary in advance 📅 3. Dining: Shanghai has a wide variety of delicacies, but be careful to avoid the high-priced restaurants in the tourist area. Choose some time-honored brands or local specialty shops to taste more authentic delicacies 😋 4. Photography: Bring a power bank. Shanghai is full of beautiful scenery, and the battery power for taking pictures is very important! The light at different times is different, and the photos taken will have different effects 📷 This is the wonderful route for a one-day tour of Shanghai. Whether it is historical culture, modern city, or food and shopping, you can experience it perfectly in this one day. Come to Shanghai and start your own magical journey! 💕
