Best travel route and time in Shanghai

As the most economically developed city in China, Shanghai enjoys a high reputation in the world. Where is the magic called the magic capital? Many people don't know much about Shanghai, especially foreigners. This is a very thoughtful guide to Shanghai.

Shanghai is a city full of profound knowledge and always young. Its change and invariability make it attract people of different ages from all over the world.

However, for the arrangement of playing strategies, it is still necessary to focus on everyone's "heart-to-heart". This collection will provide suggestions for your own use.

Map of tourist attractions in Shanghai

Boustoure

If your self-help tour in Shanghai is not arranged for a long time (no more than 5 days), I suggest that you choose sightseeing bus around Shanghai one or two days ago. There are two operators, Big, which are operated by British open-top bus tours.

Buses operated by Spring and Autumn Tourism (100 Yuan/person) and 30 yuan (person). I have been on BigBus twice myself, and the experience is very good.

Suggested duration of the game

One day, start as soon as possible.

Suggested tour route (taking BigBus as an example)

Take the New World City Red Line first: Nanjing Road (New World City) People's Square? Shanghai Art Museum? Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street? The Bund, turn to the blue line when you get to the Bund (the Bund is the intersection of the red and blue lines, and the bus will stop for a while. You can get off and bypass the Bund first, and then get on the train at the same place and change to the Blue Line. Oriental Pearl? Shanghai World Financial Center? Jinmao building? Old pier? Shiliupu Pujiang Tour Pier? The Bund, change back to the red line and complete the unfinished route ahead. Shiliupu Pujiang Tour Pier? Yuyuan Garden? Xintiandi, go straight to Nanjing Road (New World City) and transfer to Nanjing Road (Nanjing Road is the intersection of red and green lines)-Shanghai Museum? Huaihai Road? Jing 'an Temple? Portman Hotel. Jade Buddha Temple? Shanghai Art Museum, and finally return to the origin of Nanjing Road (New World City).

In this way, we can walk three lines at a time in the shortest time. Basically, every line 1 hour (without getting off), you can also choose any stop to get off and play.

profit

1, saving time and effort.

2. You can take a second-floor convertible and walk through the streets of Shanghai to see more local customs.

3. You can wear headphones to listen to the explanation in the car.

4. Relatively safe.

skill

1. The two operators have their own advantages and disadvantages. You can make preferences according to their scenic spots ~

Generally speaking, buying tickets separately (not selling scenic spots tickets) is valid within 24 hours. If you want to have time to visit some scenic spots, I suggest you start sitting early in the morning ~

3, the convertible on the second floor is windy, pay attention to wear a hat and scarf to keep warm ~

"Old" Shanghai

Shanghai is a city with a sense of the times. The streets and alleys of Puxi are full of Shikumen with red bricks and green tiles, all of which exude the unique charm of "old Shanghai".

frontier

"Petty bourgeoisie sentiment" is a unique label in Shanghai. Shanghai New World is probably the most vivid place to show petty bourgeoisie sentiment. Sitting in a western restaurant or bar, watching people come and go, looking at the delicate little face and fiery lips on the opposite table, it seems that time has gone back, as if you were in Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s, and your eyes are full of charming scenery.

Suggested duration of the game

Suitable for taking photos during the day 1 hour or so, and suitable for eating and drinking all night at night ~

Tianzifang

Tianzifang is the flavor of the houses in the alley. In addition to creative shops, galleries and photo exhibitions, there are various snack bars, teahouses, open-air restaurants and cafes in the alley. The biggest feature of Tianzifang is that it still has many residents living here.

Suggested duration of the game

The daytime is about 1-2 hours, which is more suitable for young people.

Nearby recommendation

It's very close to Tianzifang (about 10 minutes by bike), and you can also visit Zhou Mansion on Sinan Road ~ Good comrades of the party and the people should be very interested ~

Yuyuan Garden/Chenghuang Temple

Originally a private garden in Ming Dynasty, Yu Garden is one of the classical gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. It covers an area of about 20,000 square meters, and there are tourist attractions such as Chenghuang Temple and Shops Street on the side of the park.

Chenghuang Temple is a place where Shanghainese pray. Take a walk on the zigzag bridge and finish all the twists and turns of the year ~ Nanxiang steamed stuffed bun, Ningbo glutinous rice balls and crab powder soup packets punch in conveniently ~

Suggested duration of the game

It takes about 1-2 hours to visit Yuyuan Garden and Chenghuang Temple during the day and Deng Jing and Commercial Street at night ~ Personally, it is more beautiful at night ~

In addition, I would like to introduce some good places for petty bourgeoisie to you, which ordinary tourists don't know, but I fell in love with some friends who like to take pictures and want to feel the atmosphere of petty bourgeoisie in Shanghai ~

Julu Road, Fumin Road, Changle Road 1 (the most beautiful, interesting and richest neighborhood recognized by Shanghai residents)

Duolun Road (museums, exhibition halls, antique calligraphy and painting, bookstores, teahouses and bar galleries on both sides of the road have become a good place for domestic and foreign guests to be nostalgic, leisure, sightseeing and cultural consumption).

3. Lilac Garden (one of the most famous and well-preserved old houses in Shanghai); Sinan mansions (Zhou Mansion is one of them, with many restaurants with beautiful environment),

4. Urumqi Road, Tibet North Road, Wu Kang Road, hengshan road Road and Shaoxing Road are also full of petty bourgeoisie.

Modernity

Among the cities in China, internationalization and modernization are in the forefront, and Shanghai is one of the best. In the past, the Bund's economic aggregate once accounted for 50% of China's economic aggregate; Now, the Lujiazui Financial New District in Pudong has once again attracted the attention of the world. Shanghai's modernity has been labeled as "Magic Capital" along with London, Tokyo and new york.

Nanjing Dongxi Road/Huaihai Middle Road/Outlets

Shanghai is a city with amazing consumption power. Almost every subway station in the city center is connected with several shopping malls, and the most concentrated buy buy shopping areas in the city are Nanjing East Road, Nanjing West Road and Huaihai Middle Road. Friends also recommended outlets far from the city center, and the price is similar to that of foreign countries ~

Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street, connecting People's Square and the Bund, takes about 30 minutes without going to the store. If you are tired on the road, you can take the 5 yuan/Guangzhou train ~

On Nanjing West Road, there is also a famous scenic spot-Jing 'an Temple. Spring has arrived, and the Jing 'an Park next to it is also a scene full of spring ~

the Bund

The Bund, namely Waihuangpu Beach, has been designated as a British concession since 1844, which has become a true portrayal of Shanghai Shili Ocean Field and the starting point of the old Shanghai concession area and the whole modern Shanghai city.

Lujiazui in Pudong

There is a century circle in Lujiazui, Pudong (I heard that there is no name, so I named it silently). Surrounded by Pudong's "noble families" gathering place. In addition to the Oriental Pearl and Disney flagship store, there are three huge buildings in Pudong financial circle-Shanghai Center, Shanghai World Financial Center, Jinmao Tower and Shanghai branches of major banks. Standing here, it seems that even the wind smells of money ~

The picture below is a screenshot of my recent hit "Aerial Photography of China-Shanghai" (the sixth issue). You can choose one of the tall buildings in the Oriental Pearl, Shanghai Center, Shanghai World Financial Center and Jinmao Tower to climb to the top and feel the myriad customs of "Night Shanghai" ~

Disneyland

Shanghai Disneyland, I made some strategies, but I haven't been there, because I have been afraid of many people. Therefore, more and more people go there now ... There are many strategies in Weibo online. If you are too lazy to check, you can also add my personal WeChat, and I will send it to you ~

Suggested duration of the game

1~2 days, avoiding weekends. If you want to finish the planned work within 1 day, please be early. The fireworks show in the evening is the highlight you can't miss.

A friend of my mother told me that Shanghai is a very suitable place for parents and children to travel. No matter what the weather is like, there are places suitable for children to play.

Chongming Qingpu Children's Museum, Wildlife Park, Marine Aquarium, Maya Water Park, countless indoor playgrounds, and various farmhouses. You will never have no choice if you play with your children for a week ~

Cultural tour

college town

There are many universities in Shanghai. Among them, I am committed to Jiaotong University (Xuhui Campus) and Tongji University (siping road Campus). At this time, the trees and cherry blossoms complement each other, which will be my next plan to move to Fudan.

Literature and art technology

Shanghai has also made great achievements in design and technology. If you like to watch exhibitions, you may wish to pay attention to the exhibition trends of Dragon Art Museum, 1933 Laochangfang and Red Creative Park. My good friend said 1933 The old square is a paradise for photographers. Regarding the combination of light and shadow, it is especially suitable for SLR practitioners. Or wear plain clothes to take pictures, don't have a flavor.

If you or your children love science and technology, Shanghai Science and Technology Museum is a very good choice ~ interactive, knowledgeable and interesting.

In addition, several libraries and museums in Shanghai are also very distinctive. If you have time, you might as well take a dip.

skill

Most pavilions in Shanghai are closed on Mondays.

The 10th Shanghai Biennale

In addition, if you are a young artist or especially like new gadgets, I recommend K 1 1, a shopping mall integrating art, food and shopping (you can book a free guide at the information desk to show you around for about half an hour) ~

Natural scenery

The small bridges in the south of the Yangtze River are also charming. If you have enough time, you can go around Shanghai, Zhujiajiao and Chongming Island in Shanghai, as well as the surrounding Tongli Ancient Town and Wuxi. These places are recommended by my friends, and I have never been there myself. I plan to take advantage of the fine weather and go for a walk one by one on weekends ~

I have been to Qiandao Lake in West Lake, Hangzhou (a restaurant called "Gathering" is especially recommended), Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou, Qidong and Wuzhen in Nantong. Most of them have their own advantages and disadvantages, so I won't go into details here. If you are interested, you can find out by private letter.

Food and wine

There are quite a few snacks in Shanghai, and some century-old chain snack bars can be seen everywhere. Personally, I recommend crab powder steamed buns, crayfish fried buns, scallion noodles ~ Kutokuhayashi and Xinghualou and other traditional snacks (which can be used as gifts) ~

As for dinner, I'd like to try some local dishes in Shanghai. It's not bad to have been to "Shanghai 1", but the local food in Shanghai is a little too sweet for my sister in Guangdong, so I often choose Japanese food and hot pot when eating out. There are many choices of Japanese cuisine in Shanghai, many of which are run by Japanese. There used to be many on Guyang Road, but now some of them have been demolished by subway construction and some of them have been preserved. I strongly recommend Laowang Wuhua Chicken Hotpot and Sanren Guwang Hotpot, which are the two I usually eat the most. If you want something light, you can drink porridge and try black oysters. Their seafood-related dishes are also good.

Shanghai also has western food, cafes and bars worth a try.

Recommend an online celebrity shop on Urumqi Road with the name Blackbird. Brunch is not bad, especially suitable for taking pictures.

There is also a "73-hour high-heeled shoes" store that integrates high-heeled shoes, dinner and afternoon tea. Very distinctive, it will be the favorite of girls who like to wear high heels.

If you want a lively bar, I recommend Barbara lusa and my friends recommend MYST.

club

If you want to eat and drink, you can try to drink Shanghai local yellow rice wine, and tell the waiter that adding shredded ginger is warm, and girls can add some plum to taste, which can eliminate the fatigue of the day.
