    The Bund, located in Shanghai, is a dazzling pearl in this bustling metropolis. By day, it's a vibrant hub of traffic and throngs of tourists, who stroll along, enjoying a rare moment of leisure. At night, the Bund takes on a completely different charm; as the lights come on and neon signs shimmer, it transforms into a fairyland.

    Lujiazui, a dazzling pearl of Shanghai, is world-renowned for its bustling financial and business district. Here, skyscrapers stand tall, financial institutions abound, and it is home to the headquarters of numerous well-known domestic and international companies. Lujiazui's night view is particularly magnificent, a dazzling display of lights showcasing the metropolis's prosperity and vitality.

    really really worth to visit when you are in shanghai. it's super convenient to get there by metro and the view there and activities to do makes it even more worthy. the rides were really fun and family-friendly, so you can definitely bring your kids. do stay until night to watch the fireworks which is something you definitely cannot miss.

    It's nice and quite huge. There is a safari bus that we missed as we didn't realize that it closes early at 4pm. Interaction with animals require additional fee but it has plenty of animals to keep a family entertained throughout the day.

    It's worth a visit if you haven't been before. Make an appointment for the damper ride first, otherwise you'll waste time if you go to the observation deck and then have an appointment. Also, you need to arrive early to queue for the damper ride. We had an appointment, went to get some fruit tea, and when we came back, our appointment time was already booked, so we had to wait for the next group. The best sunset spot was occupied by many people who didn't seem to care, so we only looked at it and didn't take any pictures.

    The City God Temple is located in the heart of the Yu Garden commercial district, and entering from the Nine-Turn Bridge area is generally the most atmospheric. Inside, you can visit the main hall, the God of Wealth Hall, and the Matchmaker Hall in sequence. The incense is plentiful, but the order is well-maintained. You can freely stroll around and admire the architectural details; the wood carvings and painted beams are quite exquisite. The process for making a wish is simple, and incense burners can be purchased outside the halls. After visiting the main hall area, it's easy to explore the surrounding old streets, which are packed with snacks. Classic local delicacies include Nanxiang steamed buns, crab roe soup dumplings, and pear syrup candy. It gets very crowded on holidays, so it's recommended to arrive early. For more authentic Jiangnan-style photos, early morning or evening when the lights are on are ideal. Yu Garden is within walking distance, so combining the two will provide a more complete experience. The overall pace is relaxed; two hours is sufficient to experience the lively atmosphere and old-world charm of the City God Temple.

    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.

    Definitely a must try if you’re first time in Shanghai! A nice view of Shanghai famous skyscrapers. The trip was roughly 45-60mins. You need to change to digital tickets at the machine before entering (can pick what hour you wanna board). Queue is smooth, we boarded less than 15mins)

    My husband and I visited the Expo Culture Park early this weekend. Our route was Twin Hills – Greenhouse Garden – Shen Garden. Going early definitely meant fewer people; there were fewer than 10 people on the Twin Hills viewing platform. After descending the hills, we strolled along the central lake to the Greenhouse Garden. The Greenhouse Garden has three main themed areas: Mirage Sandbar, Cloud Forest, and Cloud Canyon. Mirage Sandbar features a fantastical desert world with giant cacti, baobab trees, and a light and shadow corridor. Cloud Forest is the most dreamlike area in the Greenhouse Garden, featuring a tropical rainforest, an underwater forest, and a suspended walkway – perfect for taking photos! Cloud Canyon showcases tropical flowers and fantastical landscaping, also great for photography. Overall, this is a visually appealing and fun immersive exhibition greenhouse, perfect for bringing children.
