Shanghai Bund Viral Check-in Guide: 24 Hours to Explore the Heart of the Magic City

✨【Must-Visit Spots】——Capture Stunning Shots Every Minute 1️⃣ Oriental Pearl Tower 🎈 Nighttime Spotlight: The most dreamy when surrounded by purple lights; after 7:00 PM, the tower changes colors every hour. The 21st-floor glass observation deck offers a panoramic view of the glowing Huangpu River. ✨ Hidden Photo Spot: Pudong Art Museum Riverside Promenade😎, use the archway as a frame🛜 to instantly get magazine-style shots. 2️⃣ International Architecture Expo Cluster 🎉 Vintage Masterpiece: The Customs 🛃 Clock Tower lights up at 6:00 PM. Recommended to shoot with a wide-angle lens looking up from the Peace Hotel entrance🚪, the golden lights contrast beautifully with the deep blue night🈳. 🎁 City Walk Route: From Waibaidu Bridge🌉 → Chen Yi Square → Jinling East Road Ferry Station, unlock filming locations featured in "Blossoms." 3️⃣ Lujiazui Trio ♈ Magical Angle: Shoot looking up from the base of Jin Mao Tower, place your phone📱 on the ground to capture the "trio" soaring perspective😎. Recommended after 7:30 PM when all lights are on for a more stunning effect. 🍜【Food Guide】——Taste the Bund ♐ Must-Try Local Cuisine: Crab roe rice at "Shanghai Drunken Beauty" in Bund 18, around 200+ per person but packed with crab roe. Window seats require booking 3 days in advance. ♉ Riverside Afternoon Tea🍵: Ritz-Carlton Pudong🙀 on the 52nd floor, order the "Oriental Pearl Tower" shaped dessert set, best lighting at sunset. 🎊 Night Market Vibes😠: Head straight to Yunnan South Road late at night😎, try the long-established Fresh Pork Ribs with Rice Cake😎 paired with fried dough sticks, all-you-can-eat for about 20 RMB per person. 🏨【Accommodation Guide】——Lie Down and Enjoy the Night View 🎈 Luxury Choice: Waldorf Astoria Bund🏨, a century-old historic building with full river view rooms, bathtubs facing the Oriental Pearl (approx. 4000+/night). ✨ Best Value: Home Inn Neo on East Nanjing Road😎, 5-minute walk to the Bund, high-floor rooms can capture the trio silhouette (500+/night). 🚇【Transport Tips】——Avoid Pitfalls 🎃 Night Ferry Tour: 2 RMB Jinling East😎 Road - Dongchang Road🛣️ route (last boat at 6:30 PM), cheaper than the 120 RMB sightseeing boat, board directly to the second deck. 🎈 Metro Express: Exit 7 at Nanjing East Road Station on lines 2/10, but during holidays with crowd control, it’s better to walk from Yuyuan Station in the opposite direction. 🎊 Taxi Blacklist: Taxis at the scenic spot😎 entrance offering "10 RMB to Lujiazui" are unlicensed🚗. Use Didi to locate "Bund Viewing Platform" for a safer ride. 📸【Top Photo Times】——Social Media Goldmine ❶ 07:00 Waibaidu Bridge morning mist🌫️ + sunrise🌅 backlight (few people, private setting) ❷ 15:00 Pudong Art Museum Mirror Hall ❸ 19:30 Bund lighting moment 💡Hidden Bonus: Every Friday at 8:00 PM, the Bund buildings have a light show. The best viewing spot is at BFC Bund Maple Path Night Market😀, with the Pearl Tower on the left and vintage buildings on the right. 🌟Copywriting Gold Quotes for Use “In the lights along both sides of the Pu River, understand the Magic City’s past and future.” “The 2 RMB ferry😎 glides not just over the river, but through a century of Shanghai’s stories.”
