Wondering where you

Wondering where you can still experience #chinesenewyear 🎇🎇 in #shanghai? Yu Garden is the only classic Chinese garden 🪴 in the central city. Right now you can see beautiful lantern 🏮🏮displays leading up to the #lanternfestival, which falls on the 15th day of the Chinese New Year 🧧 🧧. The garden itself is a small part of the larger complex, which contains main preserved and renovated structures evocative of an old Qing dynasty-era settlement. Make sure you spend some time wandering around the narrow alleyways and exploring the shops. Don't miss the large koi pond 🎏 filled with lanterns as well as the historic teahouse 🫖. Expect there to be lots of people so just relax, take your time, and enjoy this preserved bit of historic Shanghai. 🐂 🐂 #scenicspotguide

Yu Garden

Shanghai is a city that dazzles day and night—it’s where old Europe meets booming China, and where the skyline sparkles by the riverside! If you want authentic homestyle welcome with hotel-level amenities, Jubeile Homestay is an absolute winner. 🏙️✨ The hosts go above and beyond, offering top-notch service and insider city tips that turn a good trip into something genuinely memorable. Getting there is easy—Jubeile Homestay sits in a lively, central district, so you’re just minutes by metro or taxi from the Bund’s iconic skyline, buzzing Xintiandi, and the leafy French Concession. You’ll love the Western-style building details and the calm views over rivers and city towers—a fantastic photo backdrop, especially after sunset! For the best shots, head to the nearby bridge that frames the skyscrapers against the water; it’s a must for night photography lovers. Service is a major highlight here. The staff help arrange tickets, offer local dining recommendations, and even assist with cultural experiences. Rooms mix Chinese charm with modern comforts, and there are plenty of quiet corners for relaxing after a busy day exploring. Take a stroll along the riverside, snap the vibrant flowers against modern high-rises, and soak up the outdoor cultural scene—Shanghai really shines outside. Book Jubeile Homestay on trip.com for guaranteed availability and fast check-in. When in town, start early at famous spots like Yu Garden and enjoy evenings on the Bund. Pro tip: Catch the sunset over the bridge for a striking blend of Shanghai’s historic and futuristic vibes. #Shanghai #Homestay #CityView #PhotoSpot #TravelChina
