2025 Jing'an District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Meat lovers, don’t miss this! Today I stopped by to try Rou Rou Da Mi at the Jing’an Temple mall branch, a Japanese-style hamburg steak restaurant famous for its super juicy, bouncy beef 🥩🔥 🐮 Atmosphere This branch is inside a mall, decorated simply with a focus on a bar counter where you can watch the chef grill fresh hamburg steaks 🏮🍽️ The aroma of meat fills the air as soon as you walk in. The atmosphere is perfect for solo diners or couples 🏙️ Great for those planning to visit the temple and looking for a place to eat since the restaurant is right next to the mall, very close to the temple. 🥩 What I tried ✨ 2-piece beef hamburg + cheese 🧀 – The meat is very tender and super juicy. Eating it with melted cheese is absolutely delightful! 🤤🔥 ✨ 3-piece beef hamburg 🍖 – For the really hungry! The meat is dense, with a bouncy texture and full juicy flavor in every bite 😍 ✨ Rice, soup, and broccoli 🥦 – Unlimited refills! Beautiful Japanese rice grains and flavorful soup make a perfect combo 🍚 💰 Price Hamburg sets start at 68 yuan. Adding cheese or choosing the 3-piece option costs a little more, but it’s totally worth it for the quality of the meat! 🚆 How to get there 📍 Jing’an Temple mall branch 🚇 Take subway line 2 or 7 to Jing’an Temple station, then it’s a short walk 🏙️ 📌 Summary If you love hamburg steak, you have to try this! Great quality meat, juicy, tender, and delicious, especially with cheese 🧀🔥 Plus, unlimited rice and soup refills make it a fantastic deal 💯 📸 If you go, don’t forget to share your photos! 📍✨ #TravelChina #Shanghai

I am addicted 🤤 . An authentic local restaurant where the owner is from Xi'an and keeps the original recipe from his hometown to provide us the most delicious experience 😉 . Small and cosy, these noodles are not only absurdly delicious but are also so cheeeap ! 🤑 Just 26rmb (around 3 euros) . 𰻞 = Biàng is one of the most complex Chinese characters with 58 strokes needed to write it, is in fact an onomatopoeia of the sound of the noodles being hit on the table by the chef while preparing it 🤯 Where???? . 🔍 Qin Shen Fang Noodle House 秦申坊面馆 (静安凤凰苑店) 📍常德路861号 📍 📍Line 7 Changping Road next to exit 4 📍 . My Rate = 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 . Don't miss this chance 🙏🏻 go now and thank me later ! #foodieheaven #food #foodadvisor #foodtips #shanghai #foodies

🌈Newcomer｜Shang Liang 📅2022.11.7-2023.2.12 🕋Cc Foundation & Art Center 🏡B1, sunken courtyard, Lane 9, Qufu Road, Jing'an District Cc Foundation & Art Center and MadeIn are two connected galleries that moved to the same place by coincidence and have both held solo exhibitions for Shang Liang. Shang Liang continued her "Good Hunter", "Boxing Man" and "Sofa Man" series to form "New Man". The muscle man in the new work is more exaggerated than before, with the addition of leather, suits, metal and other elements. These elements are not like external clothing or equipment, but more like skin or shell that grows and evolves from the character's body. This shows that she was influenced by people like Otomo Katsuhiro and Ito Junji, and it also reveals the people or things in reality that need to be confronted. #ShanghaiExhibition

Ever wanted to try a Chinese Italian fusion cuisine? Check out Yaya if you are in Shanghai! Yaya means "tooth" 🦷 in Chinese, and the idea probably is to serve the pasta 🍝 "al dente". The pasta was perfectly done and freshly made and dishes were topped with Chinese flavors. Pasta are served with chopsticks 🥢 and they have good quality wine 🍷and cocktails 🍹 on the menu. Really loved the concept and the twist! The environment is casual, young, cozy and organic. ☀️ You can sit at the bar around the chefs 🧑‍🍳 preparing the dishes, but there are also seating areas across the room and an outdoor area. On top of it the music selection was great! 🎶 📍329 Tongren Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai 🕕 Lunch: 12-3pm Dinner: 6-9:30pm #foodie #urbanexplorer #fusioncuisine #awesomepic #trip

The temperature is only 2 degrees 🌡, the sky is clear and the air is fresh 🌞, just right to experience the winter in Shanghai❄. I went to Jing'an District on Sunday. Although I didn't go to Jing'an Temple to cleanse my soul, I could forget the worries of life by walking through the streets. #OverseasTravel #WinterTravel #PopularExhibition #PlayCartoon #ShanghaiTravelGuide #ShanghaiTravel

Address: No. 1000, Yan'an Middle Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai The Photofairs Shanghai Art Museum is currently being held and is very lively. #summertrip

What is an attraction that’s right across the street from Jing’an temple? Well it’s Jing’an park! A great place to stroll and people watch in the heart of Shanghai. 🎹 From time to time people set up big events in the park such as Jing’an Jazz festival where people are allowed to sit, drink and be merry on the grass (typically people are not allowed on the lawn) And when there is not an event happening old pensioners conglomerate into small groups to sing dance and practise martial arts. 🧑‍🍳 The park also has a little lake with a great Thai restaurant to try out and a little hill with great views of Shanghai to check out. It is a little hidden and a lot of people don’t know about it but it’s there. All in all I would definitely recommend this park for a great activity to do under an hour. Especially during the summer time where the lake mists up. See you there 😀 #urbanexplorer #easylife #café #nationalpark #lakes

Most people that live in Shanghai will know about Jing’an Temple and many will see it as they stroll by and wonder how magnificent this temple looks during the night. The temple is a recreation of the old Jing’an Temple, but arguably this one is much nicer and is a real attraction during the day as a tourist hotspot but also in the evening time when it’s all dazzled up. Popular land marks are close by such as the park right across the street and the Ikea which is to the left of it. It’s fascinating how although all the buildings around it serve a different purpose and is an eclectic mix of different vibes, downtown Jing’an works and it’s always very nice to stroll by. I would definitely recommend to pay the entrance fee to wander inside and dedicate some time to book a restaurant close by to see it at night. All in all, definitely would recommend to a friend, and a good way to learn about the history and pay your respects to the temple 😊😊 #urbanexplorer #temple #historicculture#culturalattractions

So we all know that Jing’an is getting pretty fancy and there are a vast amount of wealth in the area. So it goes without saying that one would stumble upon some rooftop gardens and cafes! 🤫This roof top is above Plaza 66. It is almost hidden from the street view and is very hard to find. You must find the special elevator and go to the 5th floor on the terrace to find this place. So when you find it try to keep it a secret. 🍛A few people come up here for lunch and events are planned throughout the year. You can also book your own private event by calling up the building management. 🤩This is a great place to casually stumble upon while taking your significant other out for some shopping. Or to impress out-of-towners. 🪴All in all, when I first found this place, I was shocked and amazing at its beautiful garden and how I’ve never heard of it before. I would definitely recommend it to a friend and it’s definitely a place worth visiting for its view and the location. 😁 #urbanexplorer #café#beautifulsunsets#romanticrestaurant

There are many brunch spots in Shanghai and a lot of places where expats and locals alike mingle. But Donghu Lu for the past couple of years has been a favourite. With a park in the middle and a plethora of European and American Cafes opening up it really has become an international street. I would highly recommend paying it a visit. One can find an Italian Lounge bar next to an American pancake place next to a Chinese American diner!Today I went to the French Bistro Two doors down from funkadeli and had some typical European style muscles and clams. The crepes were great and the atmosphere was very relaxing. with French music playing in the background. Donghu Lu is a great place to spend a sunny weekend strolling around and do some people watching as the people around here are extremely progressive with their fashion choice. All in all. a good mix of expats and locals. great brunch spots and great options of bars if brunch turns into a drinking session. 😀 #urbanexplorer #loveflowers#café

If you happen to be in downtown Shanghai close to Jing’an and even closer to the Shanghai Center make sure to check out this great price of Shanghainese history. This ancient building survived the craziness of the 20th century and is well preserved in the shadows of the newly build office buildings and sky scrapers. The architectural style is very different from the surrounding buildings but it gives it a certain dominance in the space. This used to be the house of a very prominent Shanghainese family and right next to it is an old Church. Make sure to scan the QR code when you get there for more information about the history of this place. All in all I would recommend this place if you are passing by. sometimes the gates are closed so definitely don’t spend too much time planning a visit. 😀 #urbanexplorer #historicculture#culturalattractions

Korean barbecue is a delicious collection of grilled meats🥩 and a colorful array of side dishes🥗🍚 (banchan) .I can never get over the side dishes , you can choose how to eat your meat ,you can roll it all up in lettuce🥬, eat it with rice, or dip it in flavorful sauces,I like having mine rolled up with some kimchi and some sauce . This restaurant is located in Jing’an. #summervacation#urbanexplorer

Cool city a lot to explore #shanghai #starbucks

🛕 1. Jing’an Temple (静安寺) Start your day at the iconic Jing’an Temple, a golden-roofed Buddhist temple with a history of over 1,700 years. Step inside to see massive bronze bells and serene halls, right in the middle of bustling West Nanjing Road. There’s many good cafes and eateries there too so you can have your breakfast or brunch there before working off the calories at the nearby park. ⏳ 1 hour. ⸻ 🌳 2. Jing’an Park (静安公园) Just across the street, stroll through Jing’an Park, a green oasis with sculptures, lawns, and shaded paths. It’s also a great spot for people-watching — locals practice tai chi and kids play around the central lawn. ⏳ 30–45 minutes ⸻ 🏠 3. Mao Zedong’s Former Residence (1920 毛泽东旧居) Continue a short walk to Mao’s Former Residence on Anyi Road, where Mao Zedong lived briefly in 1920. The small museum exhibits photos, documents, and personal belongings from his early revolutionary years in Shanghai. ⏳ 20 minutes ⸻ 🕍 4. Shanghai Exhibition Center (上海展览中心) Walk south along West Nanjing Road to the Shanghai Exhibition Center, a striking Soviet-style building built in the 1950s as the “Sino-Soviet Friendship Building.” Admire its golden spire, grand architecture, and the contrast with modern skyscrapers around it. ⏳ 30 minutes. Longer if you are visiting any exhibition there. ⸻ 🏰 5. Moller Villa (衡山马勒别墅) Head west to Moller Villa, a whimsical mansion built in the 1930s by a Swedish businessman. With turrets and a fairytale design, it feels like a slice of Europe in Shanghai. Today, it’s a hotel and restaurant — perfect for a coffee stop. ⏳ photography only (longer if dining) ⸻ 🏘 6. Zhangyuan (张园) End the tour at Zhangyuan, a beautifully restored shikumen neighborhood that once was the social center of 19th-century Shanghai. Now it’s filled with boutique shops, cafés, and cultural spaces, making it the perfect finale to your walk. ⏳ 2-4 hours. Longer if dining. ⸻ ✨ Tips for Your Walk • Total distance: about 5–6 km, easy to do in one day. • Best time: late morning start, so you end at Zhangyuan for tea or evening meals and drinks. • Wear comfy shoes — you’ll be walking on both busy shopping streets and quiet lanes. #mytraveldiary #chinatravel #shanghai #jingan #walkingtour #heritage #张园 #静安寺 #毛泽东旧居 #马勒别墅

Shanghai has an incredible food and beverage scene, but I have always missed true, high-quality donuts like the kind I find back home (coffee chain donut holes don’t count!). On a recent morning I visited Sloppy Gin, a donut shop/café in Jing’an District that came recommended by a friend. The bakery itself is small and unassuming, but very aesthetically pleasing and with enough tables to feel assured of a seat when you visit. They offer a small but carefully-considered selection of fresh baked goods, including mainstays (glazed donuts) and more unique or seasonal options. I tried their chocolate-and-mint frosted flavor and was not disappointed! #coffeeshop #donuts #café

#August2025 Walking along the streets of North Station in Shanghai's Jing'an District feels like stepping into a corridor where time and space intersect. The blue waves on the red brick walls not only symbolize the flow of the Suzhou River, but also reflect the rich cultural heritage and modern pulse of this land. From the historical warmth of the Tianhou Temple and the historical and cultural landscape of the Sihang Warehouse, to the artistic vitality of UCCA and the commercial vitality of Joy City, the "four veins" blend and the "four circles" coexist, everything is inspiring. This is not only a microcosm of urban renewal, but also a manifestation of Shanghai's cultural confidence and future vision.

If you’re ever wandering through town and craving something sweet, Dip in Gelato is a must-visit! 🍨 This spot totally delivers with its unique flavors—think way beyond your basic vanilla and chocolate. Every scoop bursts with flavor, and the prices are super wallet-friendly. Sooo good! I always make a pit stop here whenever I’m nearby. Whether you're grabbing a quick cone or chilling with friends, the vibes are unmatched. Even if you’re not a gelato fanatic, you’ll find it hard to pick just one flavor (trust me, I’ve tried). Pro tip: Everyone I’ve dragged along ends up loving it too—proof it’s not just me hyping it up! You can find Dip in Gelato at 123 Main Street, open daily from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm. If you’re ready for the ultimate tasty treat that won’t break the bank, this is the place. Gelato goals unlocked! 😋

🍝 YaYa’s Pasta 🍝 🏖️ Environment: This is a fusion pasta restaurant in the Jing’an area, China. The place is quite popular, and you might have to wait in line on weekends. Personally, I like that it blends Chinese flavors, making it not greasy. There are many interesting dishes, and the tiramisu is super delicious! The first appetizer I want to recommend is the Sichuan roasted eggplant dipping 🍆. It tastes like northern Thai chili paste but with a subtle mala flavor. It’s delicious and not greasy, a great way to awaken your taste buds. 🍝 There are many signature spaghetti dishes. The lamb ragu with wide noodles is rich and has spices from the Xinjiang region. 🍝 The spicy Vongole is also excellent, not greasy, with a hint of Chinese chili paste. 🥘 Mapo tofu lasagna: This is an extreme fusion dish but surprisingly tasty. It makes the lasagna not greasy and easy to eat continuously. One of the restaurant’s signatures. Previously, they had a Khao Soi dish because the chef cracked the recipe while traveling in Chiang Mai. The Khao Soi sauce with fettuccine noodles tastes just like authentic Khao Soi 😂. Very delicious. 🍮 The must-try dessert is the large tiramisu, a perfect finish that’s not greasy or overly sweet. 🍷 The drinks here are also great, with wine and cocktails to sip on. 📍 YaYa’s is located on Tongren Road, accessible from Jing’an Station exit 6, about a 700-meter walk. It’s about 2 blocks from Jing’an Kerry Center mall. #YaYaPasta
