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

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

The true Center of Shanghai. Jing’an has a lot to offer with its modern high rises. Busy executives and business people brunching in its cafes and beautiful flower arrangements outlining the streets. 🌷I would definitely recommend coming to this part of town to check out some great brunch options and fantastic gardens. 💍 K would also definitely recommend the shopping. it is definitely on the more expensive end of the market with all (and I literally mean all) the luxury brands out there. LV, Gucci, Rolex, and Burberry to name a few. All in all, it you are looking for a nice stroll in a fancy neighbourhood definitly check out Tong ren lu at Jing’an. 😀 #urbanexplorer #springblossoms#café#cityoverlook#easylife

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

Meat lovers, don't miss out! Today I stopped by to try 肉肉大米 (Rou Rou Da Mi) at the Jing'an Temple branch of the mall. This Japanese-style hamburger restaurant is famous for its juicy, chewy meat. 🥩🔥 🐮 Atmosphere of the restaurant This branch is located in a mall, decorated in a simple style. It emphasizes a counter bar where you can sit and watch the chef grill fresh hamburgers. 🏮🍽️ The smell of the meat wafts in from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is suitable for people who come alone or as a couple. 🏙️ It's perfect for people who plan to visit the temple and are looking for food or a restaurant to eat at, because this restaurant is right next to the mall, very close to the temple. 🥩 The menu I tried ✨ 2-piece beef hamburger + cheese 🧀 - The meat is very soft and juicy. It's even better when eaten with melted cheese! 🤤🔥 ✨ 3-piece beef hamburger 🍖 - For those who are really hungry! Firm meat, bite into the bouncy and juicy meat 😍 ✨ Rice, soup and broccoli 🥦 – Unlimited refills! Beautiful Japanese rice grains, delicious soup, great when eaten together 🍚 💰 Price The starting price of the hamburger set is 68 yuan. If you add cheese or choose 3 pieces, the price will increase a little. Very worthwhile for this quality of meat! 🚆 How to get there 📍 Jing'an Temple shopping mall branch 🚇 Take subway line 2 or 7 and get off at Jing'an Temple station and walk a short distance. 🏙️ 📌 Summary Anyone who loves hamburger must come and try it! The meat is good, juicy, soft, and extremely delicious. Eating it with cheese is the best. 🧀🔥 Plus, you can refill rice and soup as much as you want. Very worthwhile 💯 📸 If you've tried it, don't forget to share your photos! 📍✨ #TravelChina #Shanghai

These places offer a variety of fresh and delicious seafood dishes, perfect for those who enjoy a flavorful and authentic taste of local cuisine. Whether you're craving shrimp, crabs, or other seafood delicacies, these stalls provide a great opportunity to enjoy a lively atmosphere and a satisfying meal.

I found a hidden gem of a Chinese teahouse✨. Qi Cha Qu, tucked away in the Jing'an district, is absolutely stunning! The common area is huge, and the decor feels like stepping into an ancient painting🌿. Every corner is a perfect photo op📸. I recommend wearing a modern Chinese-style dress for your photos! The tatami private rooms offer complete privacy💯, but you absolutely must go early in the day to snag one!! The sunlight filtering through the bamboo blinds is incredibly soft and gentle☀️. Even someone who's not good at taking photos can capture the amazing atmosphere💃. This is the perfect spot for afternoon tea with your besties👭. The tea and pastries are delicate and refreshing🍰. The experience is even better on a working day afternoon when it's less crowded! Remember to book a window seat in advance～ 📍 757 Guangzhong West Road, Multimedia Building, 1st Floor 🅿️ There's a parking lot at the entrance, but it can get quite full on working days. 🚇 Subway Line 1, Shanghai Circus World Station, Exit 4

#favouriteitinerary Whenever I travel abroad, I always like to try McDonald's menu items that aren’t available in my home country. In Malaysia, McDonald's is Halal-certified, so there is no pork in their products. Before heading to Shanghai Disneyland, my friend and I went to a McDonald's near Jing'an Temple which also near our hotel for breakfast. We ordered a set of meal included Scrambled Egg Sausage Burger ,hash brown and a hot cocoa.

A few days ago, I went for a meal with friends at 1788 Food Plaza. This restaurant looks very traditional from the outside, and the interior decoration style is simply breathtaking. The environment is extremely elegant and perfect for both group gatherings and casual dining. Wenzhou fish cake is soft and sticky, with a rich and fresh taste. The house-made double fresh dish has super tender fish and the rice cakes absorb the fresh seafood flavors perfectly. I absolutely love it! The beef is stewed until very tender, and when paired with white radish, the two flavors balance each other very well. The squab has a crispy surface, and the meat isn't too dry. The portion is just right. 📍Jhouse (Jing'an Branch) #travelinginchina #shanghai

#travelinginchina I went on a night food tour around Shanghai and it was so much fun! We strolled around Changning and Jing'an, trying all sorts of local foods. From savory dumplings to sweet desserts, I got to sample all the flavors of the city. It was amazing to see the streets come alive at night, filled with food stalls and happy chatter. Definitely a highlight of my trip!

#favouriteitinerary Zhang Yuan, established in 1882, was once the largest and most unique public activity space in Shanghai during the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. With over 140 years of history, it holds rich cultural significance. In 1885, Zhang Yuan began to open its doors to the public for free, becoming the largest public park in Shanghai at the time and earning the title "Shanghai's No. 1 Garden." After 1918, Zhang Yuan gradually transformed into a residential area with Shikumen-style alleyways and garden residences. Today, it is home to the largest and best-preserved Shikumen building complex in Shanghai, showcasing the richest architectural styles. The garden retains 13 Shanghai historical buildings, 24 cultural heritage sites in Jing'an District, and 5 planned preservation buildings, each with its own unique history. The western part of Zhang Yuan has been the first to undergo renovation and is now open to the public. This area covers an architectural area of approximately 20,000 square meters, including 16 historical buildings such as Deqing Lane, Rongkang Lane, Zhenxing Lane, Xiude Lane, and Furu Lane, as well as three garden-style villas. The design preserves the unique blend of Chinese and Western styles in the Shikumen lanes while incorporating trendy cultural, artistic, and fashionable elements into these historic buildings. 📍 Address: No. 588, Weihai Road, Jing'an District 🚉 Transportation: Metro Lines 2/12/13, Nanjing West Road Station, Exit 4, then walk 400 meters ⏳ Hours: Daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM 🎫 Admission: Free, no reservation required Nearby attractions include the Wujiang Road leisure food street, Starbucks Reserve Roastery, Fengsheng Lane, Meitaiheng shopping district, and Xinyi Taikoo Hui， perfect for a full day of exploration!

#favouriteitinerary While strolling around Jing’an Temple, we decided to find a place to rest and enjoy some desserts. We went to Hong Kong Wah Sum Dessert , a traditional dessert shop. We ordered Mango Shaved Ice, Black Sesame Paste with Almond Tea, and Sawdust Pudding Cake. The desserts were not overly sweet and tasted really good! Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.

#favouriteitinerary Shanghai cuisine tends to be on the sweeter side, but I still find it delicious! This time, I’m visiting some of the city’s famous restaurants, Renheguan and Maotou Laodie. Must-try dishes include Shanghai Shengjian (pan-fried soup dumplings) ，braised duck, charcoal-grilled pork neck, dried tangerine peel chicken and peanut ice blend in Renheguan, Hong Shao Rou (braised pork belly with black truffle) in Maotou!

#SeeChristmasLights 🔥🔥Shanghai Christmas Hunt Mission 🎄✨ . 📍Starting now, go out and take real photos with lights and lights at #ChinaTravelChristmas “Unwrap Your Wonders - Jing-An Kerry Centre”🎄🎄 #tripพาบินเที่ยวจีน . I will tell you all the locations for taking photos so you don’t have to walk around like us because the mall that holds the event is sooo big 🤣🤣🤣 💬Advice: 1️⃣ Don’t forget to go into the mall to take photos, there are so many cute angles (if you see red pipes like water pipes around North 4, that’s the point where the top and bottom are around floors 1-4, the same corner has a place to take photos). There’s also a connecting walkway around North 3, North 1, there’s a little bit. 2️⃣ The Christmas tree in the center is outside the building, near both the North and South sides. If you want a high angle with a distant view, go up to about the 3rd floor on the South side (not many people go up there). The photo will have a little reflection, but you’ll get a high angle and no people in the event. 3️⃣ We took the main light around 12:00-15:00-17:00 Personally, I like around 12:00 the most, bright. I don't know if it's not dark enough. When the lights are on, it looks weird. 4️⃣ For those who want a private seat to see the Christmas tree view🎄🎄 or wait for the light to change, I recommend 2 cafes: BlueBottle (if I remember the name correctly) (focus on distant angles, there are better angles than us, you can see the Christmas tree more clearly, but the seats that other people are sitting in are good, but not much) and another shop that focuses on being close to the Christmas tree of the Shangri-La Hotel, right next to the Christmas tree, very exclusive (I can't remember the name, but I really recommend it. It's cheap too. The tea tastes good and the snacks are delicious. All together, it's only about sixty yuan.) 📆 now - 1 Jan 2025 📍Underground Jing-An Temple, Exit 6, Jing-An Kerry Centre
