How to Enjoy a Shanghai Summer | Have you heard of these off-the-beaten-path attractions?

What? Shanghai actually has hidden gems that even the local natives haven't heard of?! Then take the opportunity to invite your friends over the weekend, we're heading to the lesser-known travel destinations this summer vacation! 👉 Xiyan Tang It is the first church designed by Laszlo Hudec in Shanghai, it is also one of the only two Byzantine-style cathedrals in the Magic City, and it is Xiyan Tang right next to the Shanghai Zoo. The architecture is super beautiful both inside and out, and when there are no church activities, there are very few visitors, so it looks good no matter how you take pictures! 👉 Shihu Dang Town, the Foremost on the Pujiang River The birthplace of Shanghai where three rivers converge, it truly deserves to be the number one check-in spot on the banks of the Huangpu River! Here you can find a collection of attractions like the Chunshen Hall, the Fen Shui Dragon King Temple, the Water Culture Exhibition Hall, the Foremost Lake on the Pujiang River, and the Shuli Liyun Pagoda, all fun and beautiful spots with few people, you can easily spend a whole day exploring and taking photos! 👉 Zhangyan Village Cultural Museum With the aura of being one of the top ten museums in the world, it's so low-key that even some local friends in Qingpu haven't heard of it. The stunning combination of ancient and modern architectural design, plus the content-rich exhibits, and the fact that you don't even have to buy a ticket, how could you not fall in love?!

Shanghai Film Park

🎬 Step Into the Silver Screen at Shanghai Film Park! 🌟 If you’ve ever dreamed of wandering movie sets and reliving cinematic moments, Shanghai Film Park is your ultimate backstage pass. With expansive streets, vintage buildings, and classic movie props, this destination lets you immerse yourself in old Shanghai’s charm and cinematic history! 🧭 Your Adventure Route: Hop on a train, switch to a local bus, then enjoy a 500m stroll straight to the entrance. Skip online bookings—grab your ticket at the counter on arrival (¥69). The park is massive, so come well-prepared for plenty of walking. 🔥 Must-Dos: - Stroll through vintage Shanghai alleys and snap photos with retro trams and stylish old shopfronts. - Explore iconic sets like the Nanjing Road and the European-style town square—these spots are perfect to channel your inner movie star! - Don’t miss out on peek-a-boo moments at prop-filled courtyards and historic buildings. 📸 Insta-Worthy Angles: - The clocktower backdrop at “Old Shanghai Street” - European-style façades with golden hour lighting - Dramatic action shots by classic movie props 💡 Visiting Tips: - Wear comfortable shoes—expect a LOT of walking! - Only buy tickets at the counter for better flexibility. - Avoid venturing into the park’s “green zone”—it’s just a patch of grass and a small lake with swarms of mosquitoes (trust me, not worth it). - Visit early for cooler temperatures and photo ops without the crowds. ⚠️ Key Precautions: - Bring mosquito repellent for any outdoor areas. - Plan your restroom breaks; some facilities are quite spread out. #Shanghai #FilmPark #CinematicShanghai #TravelTips #UrbanAdventure

Tianzifang

Alleyway Wonderland in Shanghai’s Tianzifang 🏙️🛍️🌸 Tianzifang is a vibrant maze of quaint alleys packed with artsy boutiques, adorable stores, and local eats—a haven for the curious traveler looking for that “Shanghai secret spot” feel! 🗺️ Recommended Route: Start at the entrance on Taikang Road and zigzag through the cozy lanes, discovering unique shops at every turn. Take your time—stop wherever something catches your eye. The alleys are easy to wander and tucked away from the big roads, so soak up the relaxed vibe. 🍜 Must-Do Experiences: Explore the handmade craft stalls and pick up quirky souvenirs. Don’t miss the tiny galleries and studios. For a meal, duck into a restaurant just outside the main lanes for mouthwatering local and international dishes (personal tip: those spots usually have better prices and less bustle!). Stop for a coffee or dessert—many cafés here are Instagrammable and chill spots for a break. 📷 Top Photo Spots: Snap a shot under the fairy lights or beside vintage brick walls covered in murals. The colorful shopfronts and alley corners make for classic “Shanghai alleyway” shots—perfect for that farewell post before heading to the airport! 🧳 Practical Visiting Tips: Ideal for your last day—luggage storage is available in some shops, and you’re just a short ride to the airport. Tianzifang is open year-round, all day. Go earlier for cooler temps and quieter lanes. ⚠️ Key Precautions: Keep an eye out for higher prices right in the tourist lanes; explore side alleys for better deals. Watch your step—some alleys are narrow! #Shanghai #Tianzifang #UrbanExploration #LocalEats #DepartureDay
