Shanghai’s Famous Bund!

I was expecting the bund to be packed with people, but I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was when I visited! The bund can be found in the Pudong district of Shanghai. The Oriental Pearl Tower was absolutely stunning! It’s pinkish red exterior glinted beautifully and these photos do not do it justice! I walked the streets surrounding the bund and found some very nice local restaurants and bakeries! I felt like I could explore the area for hours and not see everything! There are some statues around the area of a few famous people from Shanghai. My favorite was the statue of Chen Yi! If I lived in Shanghai I think I’d take weekly walks around the bund! It’s such a gorgeous place! #shanghai #shanghailife #createwithtrip

Modern Marvels & Timeless Views in Shanghai 🚶♂️🏙️ Get ready for an urban adventure through Shanghai’s must-see icons, blending sleek skyscrapers, buzzing cultural spots, and riverside romance—all in one unforgettable stroll! Start with Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, the liveliest shopping boulevard in China (Henan Middle Road, Huangpu District, open all day). Dive into laidback morning walks or prime evening people-watching. Pro tip: Early arrival means fewer crowds and soft sunlight for your shots. Don’t miss snaps featuring modern storefronts framed by heritage buildings—super insta-worthy on a sunny day! Next, head to The Bund (Zhongshan East Road, right by the Huangpu River—open all day), Shanghai’s dreamy riverside promenade lined with colonial architecture and shimmering city skylines. For that epic photo, pose with the futuristic Pudong skyline behind you, especially as day turns to neon-lit night. Take a moment to soak up both the city buzz and gentle river breeze—my personal highlight! Finish by hopping onto the Jinling East Road Ferry (No.141 Bund, open 7:00 AM–9:00 PM) for a unique, budget-friendly way to cross the river. The Ferry offers front-row city views, especially on cloudy or rainy days—the contrast with gleaming glass towers is unreal. Pack a light raincoat just in case, as weather shifts quickly. Quick Tips: Wear comfy shoes, as you’ll be on your feet all day. Plan to visit in the early morning or late evening for magical light and fewer crowds. Always keep an eye out for changing weather! #Shanghai #UrbanAdventure #ModernArchitecture #TheBund #CityViews

Kick off your city-chic adventure in Shanghai at The Bund, pulse through trendsetting venues like Louis Vuitton’s dazzling cruise at Taikoo Hui, and wrap up with swanky sips at Lucy Me’s sought-after café reservation 🍸🌆. Next, switch gears to the poetic charm of Wuzhen & Xitang Water Towns, where rivers, tiled roofs, and willow trees frame a living postcard—especially on a moody, misty day. Start with a riverside stroll at The Bund during golden hour, snagging epic panoramas of the skyline and modern architecture. Snap insta-worthy shots from the iconic promenade with the cloudy backdrop for dramatic effect. Hit Taikoo Hui for the LV cruise—no entry fee, but check ahead for pop-up events likely to deliver high-fashion ambiance and perfect photo ops beside gleaming storefronts. Lucy Me’s cozy corners are ideal for “latte art” pics; your café booking guarantees you a seat away from the crowd. Hop over to Jiaxing for water town magic. In Wuzhen or Xitang, rent a traditional costume (about 198 RMB with makeup) for your own “historic heroine moment.” Wander winding stone lanes, duck into riverside teahouses, and choose a sunny or rainy day for shots by arched bridges and canal-side willows—each weather mood tells a unique story. Make sure to plan outfit rental a day ahead, as weekends fill up quickly! Silence your phone: quiet corners are perfect for serene, reflective snaps. Pro tip: Watch for slippery stones in the rain and bring extra cash for rentals and snacks. Local buses or high-speed train get you to Jiaxing in under an hour. #Shanghai #ModernChina #WaterTown #TravelStyle #Jiaxing

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
