[2024 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Shaanxi South Road (Updated Oct)

Thai fest

#shanghaitrip Yes you heard that right; there's an ongoing Thailand festival 🇹🇭🐘🍛 in the town now in the middle huaihai road. As we were doing our daily routine walking, it's totally hard not to notice the colorful display in 'Niko and ...' place which did pulled us in with curiosity 🧐. It had a splendid display of products from Thailand on which specifically the trendy bags 🛍️ sort of made by paper grabbed my attention - these ones used to be the cheapest back in the childhood days for those who are less privileged but recently the reality has gone upside down that I heard even famous brands like Gucci are coming with such bags with their own touch on it ! Fashion is quite unpredictable for real 🤯#tripblazers#urbanexplorer

"Magic Citywalk" in Shanghai was spotted and the green house made me cry with beauty!

Today while taking a walk, I stumbled upon a green house like this. Highlighting the shadows under the plane trees in the city center. A walking route where you can grab a cup of coffee to go with friends. From Aloha (Shaanxi South Road branch) to Umiya Beach House. Passing by the coffee specialty store "Ops" on Taiyuan Road with its unique ceiling design. Taiyuan Road/Yongjia Road intersection is where the green house is located. √ A vibrant scene is so beautiful! Remember to obey traffic lights when passing by and taking photos!

English bookstore in Shanghai

Myself and my partner cycled by this bookstore by accident searching for a cafe for lunch. We just had to go inside as the title of the store was in English and all the books they had were written in English which was the first we’d come across in China! The owners, Sissy and her friend, we’re absolutely lovely and spoke a small amount of English. They even owned a fat ginger cat called ‘Shakespeare’ which we found amusing. The books were pricy and cost us 250¥ for two books (one which I enjoyed was a book of local Chinese swear words and sayings, which is apparently a popular buy). If you’re in the area, we’d definitely recommend a read of some classics! They even serve drinks at a discounted price if you purchase a book.

Holiday toasts !

As we almost have reached the end of the labor day holidays, it is time to get back in to the city life that once we used to. Yea, such was the feeling after coming back from a long holiday, so refreshing, and you forget yourself. The best way we decided to soak the city life was to start with the brunch on the lazy Sunday morning🌤️. As we heard there is another Branch of the very famous French brunch spot, we went to RAC II. It is located near to the IAPM mall, just some 10 minutes walk in South shaanxi road. We ordered the Avocado toast🥑, crepe and a cappuccino☕. All are super good, at a much affordable price. Now I feel like holidays won't be boring in your home city as well 😜#backtocity #brunchspots #maydaytrip#urbanexplorer#happylaborday

Speaking of 中餐 (Chinese cuisine), the most favorite I would recommend is 小笼包 (soup dumplings). As the name goes, the best thing about this dish is the soup that's inside the 包 😁 It is sort of a takeaway food, that you can just buy and carry around to eat whenever you like it. Mainly it got popular to me through the Zhejiang restaurant called 外婆家 (Grandma's kitchen). It is truly a Grandma recipe with immense taste. If you are not good in handling chopsticks, just don't stuck it with and waste the precious soup; instead just don't mind to use your hands. Another must try dish of 外婆家 is the beggar chicken. It's also cooked in the same way, with the amenities that a beggar could possibly have. A whole chicken is wrapped up in an aluminum foil and buried inside the mud, which then will be heated to end up with an extraordinary chicken you can ever have. 外婆家 has many branches in Shanghai & Hangzhou, my frequent visit is in the IAPM mall which is quite easy to find in the B1 floor. Have a taste of it people ! #tripfoodie #tripfoodieshanghai #chinesecuisine #deliciousfood #urbanexplorer#lightthecity#tripfoodie

A community canteen with a rooftop garden in downtown Shanghai.

There are more and more "internet-famous" community canteens in Shanghai. While providing more convenience and more affordable prices, they have also become "good places near home" with their "high face value" and multi-functionality. During the National Day, I went to check in this Wulixiang canteen. It has a beautiful rooftop garden. After meals, you can also go to the rooftop garden of Lane 550, overlooking the high-rise buildings surrounded by three sides in the distance, or overlooking the surrounding small alleys, enjoying the "small happiness" of not leaving Shanghai during the National Day.

hello from shanghai. Excited to see and explore this city

Tipsy Map of the Magic City | SUP'S cocktail whisky bar

📷 In the bustling Magic City, bars of all sizes are blooming everywhere, each with its own characteristics. An inadvertent encounter may lead you to discover that night sanctuary that resonates with your soul. 🍻 This SUP'S cocktail whisky bar, located at No. 150 South Shaanxi Road, is a treasure I stumbled upon on my way home from work. The moment I pushed the door and entered, I knew I had come to the right place. 🌸 The bar is divided into two floors, the whole space is relaxed and comfortable, not noisy or crowded, making one feel very at ease. Each floor has a unique drink menu to satisfy the taste needs of different guests. If you really don't know what to drink, then you just need to trust the bartender. 🌺 The drink menu on the first floor is all hung on the wall, generally easy to drink and more suitable for light intoxication, with prices ranging from 68-88 yuan per glass, which is very affordable. The 'Rejuvenate' and 'For Cloves' I ordered are both slightly fruity sweet drinks, with 'For Cloves' being a bit more bitter. ❤️ The second floor has a warm British atmosphere, classic yet stylish. The drink menu here is equally rich and varied, allowing you to choose the right drink according to your own preferences. 👍 Besides the drinks, the bartender is also the soul of a bar. There is a bartender with Japanese-style long hair who is not only skilled in technique, producing balanced and stable-tasting drinks, but also brings surprises with each glass. Moreover, he is particularly humorous and talkative, very enthusiastic about chatting with everyone, filling the bar with laughter and joy. 🎊 Recommended drinks: 🌱 For Cloves (Homemade clove gin/tonic water/yellow lemon); 🌱 Rejuvenate (Sake/homemade carrot sea buckthorn liqueur/gardenia/homemade white peach oolong syrup/lime). 🌸 Whether it's the drinks, the atmosphere, or the service, SUP'S cocktail whisky bar does a great job. When you're looking for a place to relax, why not come here and experience it for yourself. 🎊 Continuously updating, if you like it, please ➕ follow and give a thumbs up👍~ Thank you for your support!

Free New Exhibition in Magic City| Take time to slow down and feel the breath

| Take time to slow down and feel the breath. "The greater the gravity, the slower the time..." Perhaps out of a personal feeling that everything around is changing too quickly, the artist wants to slow down the movement of this world, hence the creation of the work, the 'Slow Clock' 🕙 This exhibition also integrates digital art, showcasing new paintings, sculptures, and video works by artist Chen Ruohuan. 🌟 There are two larger groups of stakes in the space. The stakes are connected to different ports, as if blood has been injected into the trees. The screen the size of a mobile phone displays the vital signs of this tree-like organism. ❤ Upon closer inspection of the stakes, some have been planted with hair, inviting viewers to feel and accommodate the weak gravity between objects, and the soft and slow state. ❤ The walls around the tree stakes also display the artist's canvas oil paintings. Some abstract, dynamic and static combinations form still frames of images that are described in a freeze-frame. 🌟 The exhibition is relatively hidden and niche, with few visitors. One person can book the entire space, looking at the exhibited tree stake specimens through the vibrant green window, feeling the current plant breath, and time can really slow down. 🌟 Exhibition: 'Slow Clock' ⏳ Date: 2023.8.4-9.16 🕙 Time: 10:00-18:00 (Tuesday to Saturday) 📍 Location: Gallery Func (No. 17, No. 19, Xinle Road, Xuhui District) 💰 Cost: Free, but reservation is required 🚉 Transportation: Shaanxi South Road Station on Subway Line 1

Jewelry exhibition in the subway

The exhibition at Shaanxi South Road subway station is a jewelry exhibition, what's different is that the designer's concept is also recorded, it looks like a picture book, very thoughtful. The real objects should have been there, but now they have been removed. Magic city is magic city, exhibitions are all set up in the subway.

Retro portrait photography, in the old houses of Shanghai, in the torrent of time, we always grow up, youth is a bright sorrow. We stayed at a bungalow house at the weekend, Address: No. 3, Lane 39, Yongjia Road. The location is not very good to find, but after entering the door is completely conquered by the interior design style, there is a kind of winding path, and suddenly feels cheerful. Indoor environment: elegant and warm, full of nostalgic retro charm, every place is exquisitely just right, not taking a few sets of decent photos can not stand up this night ~ chic bedside lamp, with aroma The dried flowers and the sensational radio are all interpretations of the designer's elegant aesthetic.

After I came to ORO last time, I really liked the tiramisu here. Recently, the Christmas atmosphere of the magic capital has become more and more concentrated, and the store has also introduced a Christmas limited edition, especially to try it again. This tiramisu disease can not be cured! [Christmas Panettone Orange] The store is inspired by a small story from a long time ago in the Italian town, adding fresh orange, chocolate, Disaronno liqueur soaked finger biscuits to make this Christmas excellent work. The palate still maintains a smooth, rich and delicate tradition. Fresh orange is the crowning touch, the fresh orange scent is very warm, and you can't help but stop and stop, the deep Christmas taste! [Prince boxed tiramisu] This time also eats the British Earl taste, Earl of Ceylon black tea with bergamot, elegant aroma. A tiramisu, a latte, sweet and bitter, balanced. This long-lost leisurely sensation gave this weekend a perfect ending. The store opened at 10:30, but it usually sold out at one or two in the afternoon, leaving only drinks. So remind everyone again, if you want to eat, you must catch up early! Early! Come early! In addition, this time I found out! The store was originally in a corner, let me think of the most beautiful corner of Gulangyu, the red brick exterior wall camera is super nice!
