Shanghai what to do

Beijing and Shanghai in one trip? Double the adventure, double the vibes! 🌆✨ Shanghai totally stole the show with its hot spring goodness and famous city lights — don’t miss these top picks if you’re looking for the best of the city. Top Spots to Visit in Shanghai 🥇 Shuiguo - Hot Spring Address: 申长路虹桥商务区龙湖虹桥天街B馆H栋B1层(虹桥英迪格酒店对面) Opening Hours: Open all day, year-round Admission: 298 RMB My tip: This is hands-down the best hot spring in Shanghai if you need relaxation after sightseeing or long travel days. Go for a weeknight for more peace and fewer crowds! 🌉 The Bund Address: Zhongshan East Road, Huangpu District (right on the Huangpu River) Opening Hours: Open all day, year-round If you want the iconic Shanghai skyline Insta shot, head there late afternoon — the lighting’s perfect and the city really starts to buzz after sunset. Trust me, it’s one of the most breathtaking urban horizons on Earth! Getting Around 🚇 Metro is fast, cheap, and connects you to both these spots directly. Grab a prepaid metro card when you arrive (save some WeChat pay troubles). Taxis are safe too, but rush hour can be slow. Eat & Drink Food near The Bund is a little pricey, but look for local dumpling shops one block off the river, especially in Huangpu district. For drinks: rooftop bars around the Bund area deliver next-level views! Extra Tips No visa required for either Beijing or Shanghai if you’re on the 144-hour transit rule. Always have cash or Alipay for smaller vendors. Shanghai weather can be humid — bring a light rain jacket! #shanghaibest #chinatrip #hotspringlife #traveltips #thebund

✨ 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

Shanghai’s Iconic Riverside Gem—The Bund 🌃🏙️ Get ready to soak in the dramatic cityscape of Shanghai, where the glamour of The Bund lights up the Huangpu riverside with dazzling modern towers right beside elegant heritage buildings. It’s a day-to-night must for snap-happy explorers and architecture lovers! 🧭 Highlights & Route: Stroll along Zhongshan East Road, hugging the river for postcard views of both historic Western-style facades and futuristic skyscrapers across the water. Don’t miss the view from the promenade—mornings show off the architecture in crisp daylight, while the evenings set the scene ablaze with neon and shimmering reflections on the river. 📸 Insta-worthy spots: Stand along the railing by Huangpu River for sweeping panoramas of Pudong’s skyline, especially the glittering towers at night. Close-up shots of classic stone buildings shine brightest with moody clouds or rainy reflections—don’t fear a little drizzle, it just adds to the drama! 🌧️ Tips & Precautions: The Bund feels magical both day and night, so arrive before sunset and linger for the transformation. Crowds build fast in the evening (especially on weekends), so stake out your photo spot early. When rain clouds roll in, a waterproof jacket is smarter than an umbrella—wind can whip up quick and send umbrellas flying! Most of the Bund is outdoors, so watch out for slippery pavements if it’s wet. #Shanghai #TheBund #Cityscape #NightView #ArchitectureLover
