The Bund

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
