What fun places are there around Shanghai?

The Bund is the iconic landscape of Shanghai

The Bund is the most beautiful in the early morning. When the sun shines from the east to the Bund, the buildings on the Bund are illuminated golden, and the mist floats on the Huangpu River. The Lujiazui building complex on the opposite bank is accompanied by the rising sun, and the citizens on the embankment do morning exercises amidst the ringing of the customs bell. It is an excellent scenery. j

Visit the City God’s Temple to experience old Shanghai

The City God’s Temple is a Taoist temple where there are Yu Garden and Yu Garden Mall, and it is the most popular place in Shanghai. The snacks there are very famous, such as Nanxiang Xiaolong Steamed Bun Shop, which is often crowded, but it is not crowded before 8 o'clock.

Yuyuan Garden opens at 8:15. I happened to visit the park after breakfast. Yuyuan Garden is the only ancient garden in the city. The scenery in the garden is not thrilling, but the photo effects are great. There are not many tourists before 9 o'clock. You can take as many pictures as you like.

Go shopping on Huaihai Road

If you have a long-cherished wish to go shopping in Shanghai, I suggest you go shopping on Huaihai Road. Although Huaihai Road is not as famous as Nanjing Road, its shopping environment, product quality, and fashion index are all higher than those of Nanjing Road. Most of the businesses there are open between 10 and 10 o'clock.

Take a boat tour on the Huangpu River

There are two options: Huangpu River tour and water bus. The boarding locations are at the southern end of the Bund. You can also take the city ferry. The city ferry is now mainly used for cyclists to cross the river. The fare is 5 cents. As long as you don't get off the boat, you can go back and forth as many times as you like.

Have lunch at Zhapu Road or Huanghe Road

These two are some of the best food streets in Shanghai, lined with restaurants. Because the lunch market usually offers a 20% discount, I recommend you go there to taste Shanghai-style dishes at noon, which costs about 80 yuan per person. Also: Shanghai-style cuisine is Shanghai cuisine that is characteristic of Jizhong cuisine but I don’t know what the characteristics are.

People’s Square is the center of Shanghai

The three parts in the southeast and west of People’s Square are the Urban Planning Museum, the Museum and the Grand Theater. You can visit these three with a 100 yuan joint ticket. It takes at least 4 hours to visit carefully. If you don’t have enough time, you can only watch the pigeons in the square. Spending 2 yuan to buy a small bag of corn and throwing it on the ground can attract a lot of pigeons.

There is a subway station underneath the square, and two subways intersect here. There are also two large underground shopping malls, which mainly sell low-end but avant-garde clothing, which is very suitable for students.

Walking Nanjing Road

Nanjing Road is a pedestrian street, but there are also long battery cars that you can buy a ticket to ride on, which is a good way to rest. The neon lights on Nanjing Road are still bright at night, but they are no longer the scenic spots in Shanghai. There is a subway station at each end of Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. From there, you can take the subway to Lujiazui in Pudong to continue your tour.

Tourist hotspot Lujiazui

Lujiazui is on the other side of the Bund and you can get there by subway. However, there is no subway station on the Bund. You can only go through the sightseeing tunnel from the bottom of the river, and the fare is not expensive.

The most eye-catching things in Lujiazui are the Oriental Pearl Tower and the 88-story Jin Mao Tower. As long as the weather is clear, you can choose to climb either day or night to see the day or night view of Shanghai. The lowest ticket price is 50 yuan. . For the same amount of money, you can go to the lounge on the 87th floor of Jin Mao Tower for a cup of coffee, sit near the window (preferably in the non-smoking area, where the view is best) and enjoy the view while enjoying the 6-star hotel services.

To the south of the Oriental Pearl Tower is Shanghai's largest shopping mall, Super Brand Plaza, and Lujiazui Food City, where Shanghai's most famous restaurants have branches.

To the north of the Oriental Pearl Tower is the International Convention Center, and further north there is a restaurant shaped like a seagull, called Seagull Fang. It sits along the river and occupies the best position on the Huangpu River, but the meal time is very short. It is difficult to get a viewing seat near the river.

About 700 meters east of the Oriental Pearl Tower is the central green space, which is often ignored by tourists. But it is the first choice for Shanghainese as a location for wedding photos.

About 700 meters to the west of the Oriental Pearl Tower is the Binjiang Avenue along the Huangpu River. It is best to go there between 7 pm and 9 pm, because the Bund on the other side is illuminated at this time. Fully open, it is the best choice for enjoying the night view of the Pujiang River.

Century Avenue and Century Plaza

Pudong’s Century Avenue is a landscape avenue with a total length of 4 kilometers, connecting Lujiazui and Century Square. There are 4 subway stations throughout the entire journey. station, but it is better to take the bus for sightseeing.

Century Plaza is the largest square in Shanghai. Below the square is the Yanggao South Road Metro Station, to the south is the Science and Technology Museum, and to the east is the pedestrian path leading to Century Park. Walking along it will feel like you are leading to heaven on earth.

Nightlife in Shanghai

There are two places worth recommending. One is to Xintiandi on Taicang Road, which not only retains the atmosphere of old Shanghai, but is also very fashionable. Another place is to go clubbing on Hengshan Road. The 2-kilometer long section is filled with European style.

At 10pm, the nightlife has just begun... hh
