Shanghai Parent-Child Citywalk Itinerary

Following dad on a business trip to Shanghai, we took the high-speed train from Ningbo to Shanghai Hongqiao, arriving in 1 hour and 46 minutes. We didn't want to miss the kids' classes, so we had one day on Saturday. 1. Pudong Art Museum It has been established for two years, and children under 1.2m are free, while adults are 150 yuan per person. There is a Manner Coffee on the first floor, right in front of the door you can face the Oriental Pearl Tower directly. The third floor has a children's rest room, and the most photogenic spot is the full-length window corridor where you can also take silhouette photos of the Oriental Pearl Tower. At night, the exterior windows of the museum can project images, and people inside the corridor take photos, not knowing they themselves are part of the scene. 2. Feeding pigeons at People's Square In front of the Shanghai Museum, there is a flock of white pigeons, with a parking lot, where children can go to a far place. The white pigeons are as white as snow, and the greenery is super clean. We brought our own mung beans, and the on-site feeding portions were not enough, with both 5 yuan and 10 yuan options available. The pigeons are not afraid of people, and children can only feed them from the edge of the flower bed. If you are patient, you can wait for the pigeons to come and eat from your hand. 3. Open-Top Double-Decker Bus Finally, we fulfilled the children's long-cherished wish to ride the double-decker bus. The 'City Sightseeing' is the open-top one, and the boarding point is at the entrance of 'China Foreign Exchange Trade System'. It's more reliable to ask the staff at the Bund for the No. 5 line station. The No. 1 line we saw that day did not have an open-top. We started queuing at 5:30 PM, got on the bus before 6:30 PM, and were lucky to catch the 7:00 PM lighting of the Bund. The whole journey took about 45 minutes. There was a bit of traffic as night fell. The ticket is 60 yuan per person, and children under 1.4m are free. You can take the 'City Sightseeing' routes and get on and off at any station within 24 hours. I suggest coming during this time slot, as you can see both the daytime and the night lighting. When we got off, the queue had already become snake-shaped, and it ended at 9:30 PM. Remember to predict whether you can wait or not. 4. Magnolia Plaza People's Coffee Opposite the square is the Binjiang Greenbelt, and the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Small Dome are right here. We arrived at night, so we went to People's Coffee, facing the 'three-piece set' of night views while drinking coffee. The average cost per person is 30-40 yuan, and you can enjoy the unbeatable night view of the magic city. People's Coffee requires you to go to the L floor of the Magnolia Plaza business building. After 7:00 PM, you need to contact the coffee shop staff to come down and take you upstairs. It's not crowded at night, and being on the 30+ floor is truly a super view. 5. 1866 German Automobile Restaurant The car is parked on the roadside in front of the restaurant, and there are cars rotating on the ceiling of the hall. Importantly, it only takes 2 minutes to get to the open-top double-decker bus after eating. Cheese and ham platter, seafood pasta, grilled mushrooms, 6. Watching Planes On the way back, to satisfy the children's interest, we went to the airport landing direction to watch planes. There is no need to go into the small road; you can watch from the roadside. Parking is also safe on the roadside, and there is tree shade, so it's not too sunny.
