To take pictures of the beautiful scenery of the Outer Banks, I sincerely recommend you to go to the North Outer Banks! 😍 Unlike the bustling crowds of the Outer Banks, the North Outer Banks photography environment is super quiet, no need to crowd, you can slowly take pictures ~ I went to take pictures on the first day of the long holiday, walking is so comfortable! It's super convenient from the subway, so you don't have to worry about getting lost! There are also many good food nearby. After taking pictures, you can chill and feel the beauty of Shanghai from different angles😉 Just photographed the good weather during the day, looking at the modern architecture of the Pearl of the Orient Tower in the distance, feeling Shanghai is both fashionable and vibrant! ☀️🏙️ Take pictures with enough hipster feel, the environment is beautiful, and you can often capture the beautiful city views! If you like to walk and take beautiful photos, North Outer Banks is a must go! Recommended locations: North Outer Banks (Address: Binjiang Avenue, Hongkou District, Shanghai, near Dalian Road Station of Metro Line 12 and Line 4) There are also many cafes and small shops nearby, perfect for taking pictures to eat some light snacks and slowly hea an afternoon! Hipster photos + eat and chill, the North Outer Banks is your first choice to explore a new angle of Shanghai!
