Just wrapped up an epic escape to Shanghai and trust me—this city is an absolute vibe! 🌆✨ Between dazzling skylines and jaw-dropping history, Shanghai proves why it’s the ultimate blend of East meets West. Everything’s clean, modern, and super accessible, making exploring a breeze for first-timers and pro travelers alike. Top Spots to Visit in Shanghai 1. The Bund (Waitan) 🌃 You simply *cannot* skip this. The Bund serves up world-famous views of Shanghai’s futuristic skyline, and the riverside promenade is ideal for Insta-worthy evening strolls. Go after sunset when the Pudong skyscrapers light up for the best vibe. 2. Yuyuan Garden & Old City Step back centuries at Yuyuan—this stunning classical garden is surrounded by the bustling Old City. Wander traditional alleys, shop quirky souvenirs, and taste classic snacks (try xiaolongbao!) at the bazaar just outside the garden (No. 218 Anren St, open 8:45am–4:45pm). 3. Nanjing Road 🛍️ Shanghai’s glitzy pedestrian street is retail heaven—high-end shops, local brands, food everywhere. Pro tip: In the evening, the neon lights are next-level. Start snapping! 4. Xintiandi This walkable, car-free district oozes style—restored “shikumen” stone-gate houses mixed with hip cafés and lively nightlife. Getting Around 🚇 Metro is the GOAT here—cheap, clean, English signage everywhere. Grab a transport card at any station (refund it before you leave!). Eat This! Don’t leave without eating soup dumplings (xiaolongbao—try them in Yuyuan or Jia Jia Tang Bao), plus crispy shengjianbao at breakfast spots. Top Tips Shanghai is super safe, cashless payments are king (Alipay/WeChat Pay), and most sights take card. Weather? Bring a light rain jacket most months. #ShanghaiAdventures #TheBundViews #CityEscapes #EatYourWayShanghai #EastMeetsWest

Exploring Shanghai? You can’t miss the ultra-impressive Shanghai Tower 🏙️—at 646 meters high, this is literally the tallest building in all of China and the second tallest in the world! The highlight? The world's fastest elevator—hold onto your phone, you’ll be 118 floors up in less than a minute! 😲 The view from the top is absolutely unreal: the city looks miniature, skyscrapers surround you, and on cloudy days, you’re floating above the clouds for serious “heaven in the city” vibes. Must-See Spot Shanghai Tower Address: No. 501, Yincheng Middle Road, Lujiazui, Pudong New Area Opening Hours: Daily 8:30–22:00 (slightly extended hours during Golden Week in early October; last admission 21:30) Travel Hacks Get there early for shorter elevator queues (trust me, mornings before 10am are a breeze)! For the clearest city views, check the weather—on foggy or cloudy days, you might be literally in the clouds (which is wild and magical, but you lose some city detail). Don’t forget a charged phone—photos from the top are must-haves. Buy your ticket ahead on trip.com to save time and potentially snag a discount. Getting There The metro is your friend: take Line 2 to Lujiazui Station and it’s just a 10-minute walk to the entrance. Foodie Tip There are cafés inside the Tower for a snack with a view, but for something cheaper and local, scout out small eateries on Yincheng Middle Road before or after your visit!
