    "We enjoyed doing acrobatics with the best background. Anyone visiting Shanghai should go to the Bund at least once. recommended to come here"
    Shanghai.The Bund Area
    1.8km from downtown
    Highlights: Arguably Shanghai's most-famous tourist attraction, the Bund is a waterfront promenade and famous business district in central Shanghai. Historically, the Bund was the city’s main financial and trading center, and was located within the Shanghai International Settlement, an area under nominal British control between 1843 and 1941. The walking areas extend roughly 1.6 km along the west bank of the Huangpu River. Owing to its historic status and zoning restrictions, the Bund contains fantastic examples of classic Shanghai architecture. For this reason, it is a popular spot for photography. No visit to Shanghai would be complete without a visit to the Bund.

    "The first time I came to Shanghai's safari park, it was bigger than Nantong. It was so tired to walk in the area. I also bought a ticket. I can take a car. It is very big. The bicycle is rented for 5 minutes. I can't eat it. I can't ride it. I went back. There are a lot of performances. The baby doesn't like it. I left early without watching it for a while, and I will come next time. It is very suitable for children. The meal in the restaurant is too unpalatable."

    "Best experience process In the afternoon, visit Yuyuan Garden (paid garden) Huxinting Tea House and drink tea at 4:30 in advance to the second floor of Nanxiang Xiaolong Store and wait for seats (only the second floor can see the lanterns). By the way, after eating at 18:00, the lights will be on and left."
    Shanghai.Yu Garden Area
    1.8km from downtown
    Highlights: Yu Garden is located in central Shanghai’s Huangpu District, on a spot within the boundaries of former Old City. It is the only classic Chinese garden in the downtown area and was once a private garden for Ming Dynasty officials. The garden covers roughly two hectares and contains various rambling pathways, hidden pavilions, and classic flora. It is a good place to escape the bustling modern city outside. Take note of the hundreds of plaques and inscriptions written by well-known individuals, as well as the park’s collection of stone carvings. Yuyuan Bazaar, located nearby, is good to browse for antiques and souvenirs.
