If you're planning a

If you're planning a trip to Shanghai to experience the vibrant nightlife of this international metropolis, the Bund's skyscrapers at night, the old Shanghai charm of the City God Temple, and the upscale designer B&Bs in Lujiazui make for a truly worthwhile itinerary that blends culture and modernity! This route not only lets you visit three of Shanghai's most iconic landmarks but also allows you to experience the city's dynamic energy from day to night—especially the Bund's night view, one of the city's most beautiful photo spots, which you absolutely must experience for yourself! Shanghai Classic City Route Roundup 1️⃣ Must-See Attraction: The Bund Located on the banks of the Huangpu River, it features Western-style historical buildings on one side and modern skyscrapers on the other. After sunset, the entire Bund is dazzling with lights, exuding a strong Shanghai vibe. Whether strolling along the river or taking photos of the night view from afar, the scenery is incredibly photogenic. For a panoramic view of the "Magic City skyline," it's recommended to walk to the vicinity of the Waibaidu Bridge, where you can capture both the financial center and the riverside cityscape. 📍Address: No. 1 Zhongshan East Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai (north to Waibaidu Bridge, south to Shiliupu Wharf) ⏰Open year-round, 24 hours (best visited around dusk for the best atmosphere) 2️⃣ Must-see: Shanghai City God Temple As the "heart" of old Shanghai, the City God Temple is not only a place of traditional faith but also a hub for street food. During the day, stroll through the temple, experience the old street life, and see the bustling incense burner at the entrance; while you're there, take a walk around the nearby Yu Garden, and try some crab roe soup dumplings or Nanxiang steamed buns for the most authentic Shanghai flavors. At night, under the lights, the City God Temple has a retro charm, completely different from the Bund. 📍Address: No. 249 Fangbang Middle Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai ⏰Opening Hours: May-September 09:00-17:00; October-April 08:30-16:30 3️⃣ Must-Visit Attractions & Hotels: Lujiazui | Shijia Designer City Panoramic B&B (Shanghai Lujiazui Branch) The true essence of Shanghai's nightlife can only be experienced in Lujiazui! This B&B is located in the heart of Shangcheng Road, offering extremely convenient transportation. It's just a two- or three-minute walk to the subway station or bustling commercial district. The rooms are fully equipped with smart toilets, kitchens, washing machines, and clean, comfortable bedding, making for a super convenient stay. The service is also very attentive; any unexpected needs can be easily addressed by contacting customer service. Ideal for families or groups of friends. 📍Address: 16th Floor, No. 618 Shangcheng Road My honest user tips: The Bund is a must-visit at night; the night view is unique in different weather conditions, and the reflections of the Western-style buildings are especially atmospheric when it rains. When visiting the City God Temple, bring some small change to buy snacks and traditional souvenirs – they make great souvenirs! When choosing a Shijia Designer B&B, remember to communicate the address in advance, as some guests have reported getting lost easily. Double-check the cleanliness and facilities upon check-in, and provide timely feedback if you have any questions; customer service will assist you promptly. Transportation Guide: The subway connections between the Bund, City God Temple, and Lujiazui are excellent, with Line 1 and Line 2 connecting most areas. There are also direct subway lines from Pudong Airport or Hongqiao Airport to Lujiazui. Taxis are also readily available, especially at night when it's crowded; you can book a ride-hailing service online. Food Recommendations: Near the Bund, there are many elegant bars and riverside Western restaurants where you can dine while enjoying the night view; at the City God Temple, be sure to try Nanxiang steamed buns and crab roe soup dumplings – authentic local flavors; and the Lujiazui Yaohan shopping district offers a variety of popular restaurants. #ShanghaiBundNightView #CityGodTempleFood #LujiazuiB&BExperience #RiversideStroll #ShanghaiTravelTips

The Bund

This time I share a Shanghai itinerary that combines art, classics and fashion! Although I am in Beijing, every time I fly to Shanghai, I feel very special - the Bund is charming and bustling at night, with the intertwined architectural lines of ancient and modern times, and climbing to the top of the hotel to see the entire city's lights is a unique "Night Shanghai" experience. Whether you want to slowly savor the cultural attractions or explore an authentic breakfast with your taste buds, this route will help you take care of it all! Remember that your phone must shoot enough, the screen sense is extremely sufficient - especially since each restaurant has its own characteristics. Attraction inventory recommendations: 1. Shanghai Outlying Hotel Penthouse | Night Shanghai must-see photo spots The charm of the Outer Banks UP after nightfall! I recommend booking a hotel along the Riverside in the Outer Banks, if you have a penthouse Skybar or viewing platform, don’t miss it! The top floor of the hotel looks out, with Pudong skyscrapers as the background, the quiet flow of the Huangpu River, the visual collision of the old era and the new era - see the night view, drink a glass of wine, feel the real "magic city" charm. Specially recommended locations such as the Outer Banks Mau Yuet and Building Kerry Center. 2. Renhe Pavilion (Yuyuan) | Classic landmark of Old Town The Renhe Guan restaurant near Yuyuan is a favorite of Shanghai old cakes! In addition to its antique flavor, it is famous for its authentic Ben Gang cuisine, with dumplings and steamed buns and Huai Yang cuisine stir-frying the soul of white meals. The Yuyuan area itself is suitable for slow walking - if you encounter a festival, there are also lantern festivals or folk performances. 📍Address: No. 132 Henan South Road (near Yuyuan) | Business hours: 10:00-21:00. 3. Cloud College | Hipster Breakfast Place If you want to steal a half-day leisure time in the busy city, you can come to Yundu College in the morning for a fine breakfast. The design of the shop is full of books - sipping freshly baked bread, drinking coffee, occasionally taking photos of the "clouds" college logo, early morning has been very healing. Recommend his specialty meal - Fu 1039 Michelin local dishes, the food is of a high standard. 📍Address: No. 1039, Fahua Town Road, Changning District | Opening hours: 08:00-17:00. 4. Starbucks Custom Name Engraving Bunch | Experience "Exclusivity" Downtown There are several specialty Starbucks in Shanghai, including branches in the Universal Financial Center and the Outer Banks. You can go branch by branch to find engraved names, personalized cups and Bunch brunch packages – breakfast platter with a cup of boutique coffee, very relaxing! Trip Tips Integration: - Best shooting spot for the night view of the Outer Banks: It is recommended to go up to the attic or riverside after 7:30 pm for a darker night and beautiful skyscraper lighting. - When Yuyuan is more crowded, be sure to make a reservation at the restaurant. You don't have to queue on the spot. - Breakfast seats at Clouds College are sometimes full, and online reservations are recommended one day in advance. - Starbucks name engraving service is only available at some branches, it is recommended to use the trip.com app to check the store details. Transportation Guide & Food Info: - Convenient subway transportation around the Outer Banks, you can take Line 2 to Nanjing East Road Station on foot. - Lots of buses and subways near Renhe Pavilion, 5 minutes walk after exiting the station. - Yunduo College is close to Hongqiao Road Station on Line 3 and Line 4, about 10 minutes walk. The most Chill way to travel - see all the old Shanghai with food, literature and art, to drink tea and enjoy the scenery on the top floor of a modern building at night, even a small doll and a pack of tea leaves, can take a picture of humanity and fashion in the same frame! Going to Shanghai is about knowing the taste, people and scenery, and discovering your own travel story in the details. #Shanghai Night View #Hipster Breakfast #Outbank Photo #Yuyuan Food #Travel Sharing
