How to enjoy the Bund like this! Capture stunning photos for just 2 bucks and wow your friends—such a steal it’s almost crying!

✨Shanghai Bund check-in guide: Get a breathtaking river view for 2 bucks, shoot cinematic shots at hidden spots✨ How can you miss the golden hour at the Bund when in Shanghai? Here’s my secret way to enjoy it: wait from 6 to 7 PM for the lights to turn on, and watch the century-old buildings instantly transform into a dazzling "Wall Street"! (Highlight: The ferry ride is even cheaper than a cup of coffee!) 🌆【Must-visit spots】 1️⃣ Jinling East Road Ferry Terminal (2 RMB per person) 👉 Go straight up to the right side of the 2nd-floor deck 👉 The 5:30 PM ferry perfectly captures the "Lujiazui Four Giants + sunset glow" ⚠️ Avoid the 6:30 PM rush hour or you’ll be packed like sardines 2️⃣ Beijing East Road Intersection (next to The Peninsula Hotel) 👉 Use a telephoto lens to compress the space 👉 Frame the "Oriental Pearl Tower" inside the arch of an old Western-style building 👉 The light and shadows are best around 4 PM 3️⃣ Waibaidu Bridge Lovers’ Wall 👉 Magical contrast between the steel bridge structure and distant skyscrapers 👉 Fewer people and better views after lights come on, 100 times quieter than the main Bund road ☑️【Hard-learned lessons】 × Don’t trust the 120 RMB sightseeing bus! It shows the same river view as the 2 RMB ferry × The fewest people are from 7 to 8 AM, you can have the whole Bund to yourself × The viewing platforms are all free! Use a certain German map app to search "Bund Viewing Platform" for navigation 🏨【Accommodation bonus】 Staying at Hanting near Nanjing East Road Metro Station is a game-changer! → 10-minute walk to the Bund → Room window overlooks the tip of the Oriental Pearl Tower → Super convenient for late-night snacks (highly recommend the classic local cuisine on Gansu Road)
