Five days and four nights, Shanghai is great, taxis are cheap and the food is delicious. The weather is comfortable and the streets are clean. ins Park is worth visiting at night. You can play around in the whole building and each floor has a different theme. The lamb pan-fried dumplings were great, although the locals seemed to think they were just so-so. It was a great experience to shop and eat. I will come here often when I have time. Thank you Shanghai #Shanghai #The Bund #inspark #Luckin Coffee

The backstreets of Huangpu District, Shanghai🪭🇨🇳 Some of my favourite areas to be found in this city are the streets adjacent to The Bund, East Nanjing Road and the Huangpu River 🌇 people are often drawn in by the European-style architecture to be found along East Zhongshan Road but what hides behind is even more special🫶🏻 Hidden amidst the bustling skyscrapers and neon lights of Shanghai’s Huangpu district lie enchanting backstreets waiting to be explored. Wandering through these narrow lanes is like stepping into a time capsule, where traditional Shanghainese architecture and local life converge. Here, you’ll find quaint tea houses tucked away in century-old buildings, their red lanterns gently swaying in the breeze 📌🏮 Shanghai has become known for towering skyscrapers and illuminating lights but would you like to see these more traditional parts of Shanghai?🇨🇳 📍 Huangpu District, Shanghai 上海黄浦区 #TravelChina #ExploreChina #ChinaAdventures #DiscoverChina #ChinaWanderlust #ChinaTravel #ChinaDiaries #ChinaExperience #ChinaVibes #ChinaExploration #ChinaDreams #ChinaLife #ChinaTrip #ChinaTour #ChinaDiscovery #ChinaUnveiled #ChinaPhotography #ChinaJourney

Camping lovers must not miss it How to get there - Take the subway, either line 7 to Houtan Station or line 13 to Shibo Avenue. It is recommended to start cycling from Expo Culture Park, and cycle along the bike path for about 10 kilometers. The atmosphere is nice, you can camp or have a picnic. #ShanghaiTravel #ChinaTravel #Picnic #Cycling #GoodAtmosphere Restaurants and food - There aren't many restaurants in this area, mostly cafes where you can sit and sip tea or coffee and chill. Score 10/10, I confirm that it is very chill, the atmosphere is very good, you can stop and take pictures along the way.

The Huangpu Historic Area in Shanghai is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history and culture. This area is home to a variety of colonial-era buildings and historic landmarks, and it offers a unique glimpse into Shanghai's past. One of the highlights of the Huangpu Historic Area is the Bund, a famous waterfront area that's lined with colonial-era buildings and offers stunning views of the city skyline. Visitors can stroll along the riverfront and admire the architecture, or take a river cruise to get a closer look. Another must-visit destination in the Huangpu Historic Area is the Yu Garden, a beautiful classical Chinese garden that dates back over 400 years. This stunning garden is home to a variety of pavilions, rock formations, and ponds, and it's a popular spot for taking photos and relaxing.

This Christmas market in Shanghai is probably the best one of them all. It’s 30 yuan to get in and you can walk around and have some German food. They’ve got Tacos too. Quite a few places are selling mulled wine, hot cider etc. Good place to hang out with your friends and have a few drinks. I tried some potato pancakes and they were really good. Address: Central, Nanjing East Middle road, Huangpu, Shanghai

Livingroom cafe is located at No. 388 Bansongyuan Road Jinhe Yuejie International Horticultural Expo Garden, Huangpu Shanghai. It is a very relaxing cafe. It offers coffee, tea, some alcoholic drinks, and some desserts. The staffs are quite friendly and very approachable. It is a modern style cafe. I like the ambiance of it. My boyfriend and I had an afternoon tea before entering Teamlab Borderless. The cafe is nearby the place. I love their Oreo cheesecake. Tea is already good for two. There are few cafes around but this one caught our attention first. It was a great choice. I would say. #tripinspired #tripfoodie #tripmoments #trip #china #chinatravel #chinalife

If you have just one day to spend in Shanghai, Yuyuan Garden (豫园) and The Bund (外滩) are must-visit spots that showcase the quintessential Shanghai scenery. Start your morning at Yuyuan Garden, a place filled with the charm of old Shanghai. Admire the classical Chinese garden architecture and enjoy breakfast with dim sum or xiaolongbao at the Yuyuan shopping street. This area is popular not only among tourists but also locals, making it a great spot to soak in the local atmosphere. Around lunchtime, take a walk to nearby Nanjing East Road, where you can indulge in shopping and street food. In the afternoon, head to The Bund and stroll along the Huangpu River, enjoying the juxtaposition of European-style buildings and the skyscrapers of Pudong New District. It's a perfect place for photography or relaxing at a café or rooftop bar. As evening falls, The Bund truly comes alive with its stunning night views. The illuminated Oriental Pearl Tower, IFC, and Shanghai Tower create a dazzling spectacle, making it the perfect way to end your day in Shanghai.

#HawaiiFlightEvent 【转角·ShanghaiLaoDang(长寿路店)】 Have you ever seen a local restaurant with this kind of atmosphere? The exterior looks like an ordinary alley restaurant, but the moment I opened the door and went in, I was surprised. There was a magnificent chandelier shining on the ceiling! This luxurious interior in a restaurant full of local sensibility is a complete reversal of charm. The vintage and classic atmosphere coexisted, so it felt like I was in a movie set. The walls are decorated in an antique style, and each table has different lighting, so no matter where you sit, you can take a nice photo. The food is Shanghai-style, so both the taste and the atmosphere are satisfying, and it is a must-visit place if you want to have a different experience during your trip. #ShanghaiRestaurant #转角上海老弄堂 #长寿路Restaurant #ChandelierRestaurant #ShanghaiEmotionRestaurant #ChinaTravelRecommendation #ShanghaiRestaurant #XiaohongshuRestaurant #LocalRestaurantExploration #AtmosphereRestaurant

#HawaiiFlightEvent If you are looking for real local food while traveling in Shanghai, I recommend this place! In particular, the chili fish fry is so big that your mouth will drop. A whole fish is fried and topped with spicy chili sauce, creating a stimulating yet mouth-watering taste. Even though it is fried, it is not greasy and has a crispy texture, so you won't be able to stop eating it! And another delicacy that you can only taste here is the pure white chicken feet dish! It is not the typical spicy chicken feet, but a light and chewy style full of vinegar flavor, so it is perfect as a palate cleanser. If you want to really experience the taste of Shanghai people, I highly recommend this combination! You can have a meal full of local sensibility with the alley atmosphere added. #ShanghaiLocalRestaurant #转角上海老弄堂 #长寿路Restaurant #ChiliFishFry #ShanghaiChickenFeet #ChineseUniqueCuisine #ShanghaiTravelRecommendation #LocalRestaurantExploration #XiaohongshuRestaurant #ShanghaiEatTour

#HawaiiFlightEvent Here is a really unique Shanghai specialty dish that has a tingling sensation on the tip of your tongue despite being a white soup! It looks like mild chicken stew, but as soon as you take a bite, a feast of mala fills your mouth…! This soup dish, which has a harmonious spicy flavor and soft broth without any incongruity, is a taste that I have never tried before. The unique white soup mala style is said to be the signature of this restaurant, so if you like mala, this is a bowl that you absolutely must not miss! It is a popular menu that a bowl of soup is served as a basic menu at every table. The fun of eating with the interior that is alive with the traditional alley sensibility of Shanghai is doubled! #上海老弄堂맛집 #长寿路마라 #Shanghai마라탕 #Shanghai맛집탐방 #ChineseUniqueFood #转角Shanghai #WhiteSoupMaLaTang #ShanghaiAlleyGourmet #NewFoodExperience #XiaoHongShu맛집추천

#HawaiiFlightEvent When walking along the Huangpu River in Shanghai, you will encounter moments that feel like a scene from a movie. Today, I felt my heart flutter as I watched the dogs out for a walk and the Shanghainese people guarding them. The sight of them slowly walking along the riverside with their dogs, their expressions enjoying their leisure time in accordance with the pace, and even their warm gazes looking at each other… Everyone was creating the tranquility of this city. Seeing people spending such a leisurely time in the middle of a busy and fast-paced city made me slow down for a moment. As the sun sets, the atmosphere of the walking path becomes more romantic with the sky turning orange, so if you visit Huangpu, be sure to walk along the riverside walking path! #Shanghai #HuangpuRiverWalk #ChinaTravel #WithYourDog #LeisurelyCity #HuangpuScenery #ShanghaiEmotion #WalkingSpot #HealingTime

#HawaiiFlightEvent I found a unique photo zone in the Huangpu area of ​​Shanghai! You can see a wonderful scene where the phrase “你好上海” appears on the exterior wall of the building.

Hongmi Changfen is truly a delicious Dim Sum spot. I found the closest location to Tianzifang and decided to come here. There are quite a few Koreans here as well. Everyone seems to order Hongmi Changfen as if it's the go-to dish, so even as a first-timer, I felt compelled to try it. However, the other menu items were just average. One dish was even missing from our order, and none of the staff noticed, so we had to mention it multiple times and ended up eating in a rush. The food is tasty, though. Shanghai Huangpu District, Huangpi South Road 838, Long Huanyu Hui F B1 (Near Subway Line 9/Line 13 Madang Road Station, Exit 5)
