    My first time cruising the Huangpu River was pretty good overall. The modern cityscapes along both banks were truly impressive! The food on board was average, except for the lobster. The evening cruise on one of the top-tier boats was quite nice.

    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.

    Great place. Many rides suitable for children, but the queue was rather long even on a weekday. The queue experience with the Chinese is bad, as they tend to cut queue.

    We stayed at Jing An area and booked a Didi to the park which took about 1 hr. The park is loosely segmented to 3 areas - the bus ride, the boat ride and a by-foot area. Mostly you get to see and experience different animals in their environment. The bus ride (we paid for the one where we can feed the animals) and boat ride are paid experiences. If you or you have a kid who are into animals, these are worth paying for! If not, the standard bus ride which comes free with your entrance fee is good enough. And yes the park is huge, we didn't get to see everything and did selective ones which are more unique outside of Singapore. Food options are a plenty, every few areas you will see cafes or restaurants. Go to Tiger Restaurant if you want to view tigers when u eat. We skipped the shows as time was tight. We were there from around 10 am to 4 pm.

    The Shanghai Tower is a landmark building with significant influence. Its exterior features a streamlined, spiraling design, and its 120-degree rotating curtain wall reduces wind load by 24%, while also possessing a unique artistic aesthetic. The tour of the tower is divided into two parts. From basement level two, take the world's fastest elevator to the 118th-floor "Top of Shanghai" observation deck, reaching a height of 546 meters, offering a 360-degree panoramic view of Shanghai. The 119th floor houses a restaurant offering lunch and dinner set menus as well as afternoon tea. On the 125th floor is the 1000-ton "Shanghai Eye" damper, which uses active mass damping technology to reduce swaying caused by strong winds or earthquakes.

    Shanghai Romance Park is definitely worth seeing! The stage is incredibly high-tech, with stunning water curtain and rising platform effects that vividly portray the prosperity and changes of old Shanghai. The actors are exceptionally expressive, and the interactive segments are also very fun, making it a feast for both the eyes and the soul!

    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)
