Shanghai 6 Days Travel Guide

📍 Itinerary Overview Ready for 6 unforgettable days in Shanghai? Let’s dive in to the city’s coolest hotspots where ancient charm meets futuristic vibes—perfect for TikTok reels and midnight strolls! 🏙️✨ 🚩 Sightseeing Route Start your journey at the legendary Yu Garden, located at the Shanghai Yuyuan Tourism Business District (main entrance north of Huxin Pavilion Jiuqu Bridge). This place is pure vibes after sunset—Chinese architecture and lanterns everywhere, like stepping into an epic historical filter! Yu Garden is open Tuesday–Sunday, 09:00–16:30 (last entry 16:00), closed Mondays. Admission is 40 RMB. Next up: cruise over to The Bund. You’ll find it along Zhongshan East Road, Huangpu District, right by the iconic Huangpu River. Open 24/7, it’s THE place for night walks with skyscraper views and old-school European buildings that make every photo pop! 🌉 Don’t skip the wild 1000 Trees! It’s an outdoor cultural landscape where art meets architecture in the most jaw-dropping way. Snap close-up shots of greenery-covered buildings—they’re legit living sculptures. Best time for night shots? After sunset when the city lights up! 🏖️ Must-Visit Attractions - Yu Garden: Insta-worthy with old school Chinese details - The Bund: Ultimate skyline glow-up - 1000 Trees: Eclectic, artsy, and oh-so photogenic at night 🚇 Transportation Metro is your bestie in Shanghai! Hop on Line 10 for Yu Garden and Line 2 for The Bund. Also, taxis are everywhere (just show your spot’s address in Chinese for quick rides). Download trip.com’s app for the smoothest ticketing and directions. 📷 Photo Spots - Bund’s riverside at night = endless likes - Inside Yu Garden, especially at Huxin Pavilion—get those lantern shots - 1000 Trees’ building close-ups—make your feed stand out! 🍜 Local Cuisine You can’t visit without eating xiaolongbao or hitting up a late-night noodle spot! Check out nearby food streets—try City God Temple snacks for that classic street food vibe. Pro travel hack: ask locals for ‘hidden gems’! 🏠 Accommodation Stay at Xiting Hotel (Shanghai Jing'an Railway Station Branch) for easy access everywhere and comfy beds after a day’s exploring. 💡 Tips - Always check attraction opening times on trip.com before heading out! - Pack a portable charger 👉 Shanghai is begging for non-stop pics, and you’ll run out of battery fast. - Metro ends around 23:00, so line up those nighttime adventures early! Make this trip legendary—Shanghai never sleeps, and neither will your camera roll!
