The Bund in Shanghai is a famous scenic area along the Huangpu River. A stroll along the riverbank offers views of the modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui on the opposite bank, including landmarks such as the Oriental Pearl Tower and Jin Mao Tower. The Bund also features numerous classical European-style buildings, such as No. 1 to No. 33 on the Bund, many of which were formerly bank buildings. In the early morning, many locals exercise, and at night, the area is brightly lit with stunning river views. Nearby attractions include Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and Yu Garden, both within walking distance. The area offers a variety of dining options, including Nanxiang steamed buns, pan-fried dumplings, and other local Shanghai cuisine. Transportation is convenient, with subway lines 2 and 10 providing easy access. It is recommended to visit in the late afternoon to enjoy both the sunset and the night view.
The river view is beautiful, but it's windy and a bit cold.

Отличная обзорная площадка на 360 градусов, хороший вид на набережную Вайтань и Шанхайскую Жемчужину. Экскурсия стоит своих денег, однозначно рекомендую Один только минус - окна были грязноваты..
A trip to Lujiazui in Shanghai offers a unique blend of modern sophistication and childlike fun. During the day, start by checking out the Pop Mart "Twinkle Twinkle" themed installation outside L+MALL, taking photos with the giant, adorable IP character, and experiencing the collision of trendy art and commercial space. Then, stroll along the riverside, watching the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower, and other skyscrapers reflected in the water, and find a viewing platform to capture stunning city skyline photos. When you're tired of shopping, head to one of Lujiazui's malls, where you'll find numerous restaurants and trendy shops. In the evening, head to the Bund to see the breathtaking night view of Lujiazui's illuminated buildings. If you're traveling with children, you can also visit the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium to explore the wonders of the underwater world. Lujiazui is more than just a financial hub; this combination of trendiness, scenic views, and family fun allows you to unlock a different kind of charm for this Shanghai landmark.

园区很大,工作人员非常亲戚。很多项目都适合小朋友和大朋友一起玩,烟火也很好看。总结:游客很多,等待时间过长🤣
Finally, my Disney dream came true! From the moment I stepped inside, it felt like I'd entered a fairytale world—the fireworks show was breathtaking, bringing tears to my eyes. The fireworks, music, and castle lights were perfectly synchronized, creating an authentic fairytale atmosphere! The staff were all incredibly welcoming; even the cleaning lady greeted us with a smile. My absolute favorite was the "TRON Lightcycle Power Run."

Surely worth for visit but unfortunately 1 day opening of 8hrs is not enough to complete all shows & rides. Perhaps consider getting VIP pass if the park is crowded.
Feeding the seals 🦭 is a lot of fun and very interactive. One seal is very clever; it can perform a fish-throwing trick, but unfortunately, it doesn't have a name, unlike the polar bear and the Arctic fox. The male seal is quite ugly; it swam around without anyone feeding it. I hope it doesn't become depressed.

It's a really nice place. I haven't been here in a long time; the last time was when I was in school. This time I brought my kid along, haha. It's well-maintained, but feeding the animals is quite expensive.
It's a bit heartbreaking to force the animals to work overtime at night. The experience isn't as good as watching them during the day. There were many people, and while the animals remained generally active, they seemed a little disoriented at night. Overall, it was okay.

Overall, it's a pretty good place, suitable for traveling with children. The elevator there is the fastest, reaching 18 meters per second, offering panoramic views of the Bund in Shanghai – the scenery is breathtaking.
Definitely worth a visit. Fantastic views. We went during the day on a Monday. Less crowded. Very fast lift/elevator.

10時ぐらいに向かい、列もなく非常に早く入場できました。中に入ると、映画で見るような中国の歴史的な建物があります。雨の日だったのか人はあまりおらず、非常に快適でした。間違いなく最高の観光地で、上海を訪れるならここは必ず入れるべきです。価格も非常に安く、本当におすすめです。
It seems ok, not the best that I have seen in China or in Shanghai. What I like the most was the market area which surrounds the temple: full of shops and really typical.

I've been to Songcheng in Hangzhou before and thought it was pretty good. I'd heard about Shanghai Romance Park for a while, so I decided to check it out sometime. I arrived around 10 AM on Saturday, and there were still plenty of parking spaces. I parked on the ground floor and went straight in – great, it's really close! I bought my ticket online and just scanned my ID to enter. The shows are mainly on the first and second floors, with the first floor having the most. Orianna and the Forest Theater are both there. You can even be an extra in the Great Earthquake show – it's quite interesting. Five or six hours should be enough. Parking costs 8 yuan per hour, capped at 60 yuan.
Shanghai Romance Park was recommended by a friend, so I went! It was really fun; even the elderly and children didn't want to leave. The NPCs were super nice, and you could win silver tickets, which could be exchanged for gifts. The show was excellent 😻, I'll definitely come again next time.

Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street stretches approximately 1,200 meters, lined with shops. Modern buildings interspersed with old European-style buildings, and the endless display of vertical shop signs creates a unique charm, especially at night when neon lights flicker. You can also take a ride on a "clang clang" (a miniature tram) to immerse yourself in the flavor of old Shanghai. The pedestrian street features an asymmetrical layout, with a 4.2-meter-wide "golden belt" running through the entire street. This belt is home to public amenities such as seating, shopping kiosks, information booths, billboards, sculptures, streetlights, waste bins, telephone booths, and 34 uniquely shaped flower beds. Century-old stores like Wing On Department Store and Hualian Department Store remain, interspersed with modern commercial buildings, creating a "worldwide architectural exposition." The street is also dotted with creative sculptures, vintage streetlights, and carved manhole covers, creating an artistic atmosphere.
Shanghai's Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is one of the few pedestrian streets that perfectly blends classicism and prosperity. Strolling along Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, you can feel both the weight of history and the prosperity of the present.

Shanghai Happy Valley is an amusement park that seamlessly blends thrills and immersive atmosphere: by day, ride the "Peak of Heroes" ride, where the wind rushes into your throat during the 65-meter vertical drop, and the weightlessness from the twisting tracks washes away your worries; in the evening, watch the drone show, where colorful dots spell out "Happy Valley" in a shimmering glow that disappears into the night. At night, the retro high-wheeled bicycles glow like candy, with the words "Happy Times" embedded in the rims. Warm light bathes the autumn night breeze, attracting passersby to take photos. The thrill rides are hardcore enough, while the night view is just the right amount of sweet—whether you scream until your voice is hoarse or your phone gets hot from taking pictures, you're guaranteed a whole day of joy.
Today was so much fun! I had a blast. There were lots of cosplayers tonight, the performances were fantastic, and the rides were great. The last big ride was especially enjoyable. I think it was definitely worth coming, and I'll definitely come again next year.
