See the source of the Huangpu River and the rise of Shanghai.

My original intention to see the source of the Huangpu River was just because I suddenly learned how Shanghai's abbreviation "Shen" came about. According to the Shanghai Toponymy and other books, Chunshen Jun dredged the river and controlled the flood in his fief, which won the hearts of the people. In memory of him, people renamed the river Chunshen River or Huangpu River, abbreviated as Shen River. There is a Chunshen Hall in the source of the Huangpu River, which suddenly brought me closer to history. 🌠To be honest, I think the scenery of this scenic spot is actually quite good, and the planning and design are also in line with the current corporate team building requirements, but there should be a lot of construction going on, so it hasn't fully taken on yet. Maybe when it becomes famous, there will be a lot of people. But I still think there are too few highlights. At a time when everyone is checking in on spring and autumn, relying solely on humanistic feelings is not very reliable, which is why few people come to this place. Tickets: Free Opening hours: 9:00-16:00 Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. Locate (the source of the Huangpu River) and park your car on both sides of the country road. It is a temporary parking lot, and there is a long way to walk into the scenic spot. Activities: Camping, cycling, photography, equestrianism, farm stay ❗️Key point: The cover photo is deceptive. The Chunshen Hall in the photo was not taken at the source of the Huangpu River, but at the source of the Huangpu River, just across the river. I drove there to take a look. I saw a helicopter parking lot and guessed that there might be low-altitude sightseeing in the future. If you want to see clearly or take a photo, you really need to be in the air. If not, a drone will do.

Modern Marvels & Timeless Views in Shanghai 🚶♂️🏙️ Get ready for an urban adventure through Shanghai’s must-see icons, blending sleek skyscrapers, buzzing cultural spots, and riverside romance—all in one unforgettable stroll! Start with Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, the liveliest shopping boulevard in China (Henan Middle Road, Huangpu District, open all day). Dive into laidback morning walks or prime evening people-watching. Pro tip: Early arrival means fewer crowds and soft sunlight for your shots. Don’t miss snaps featuring modern storefronts framed by heritage buildings—super insta-worthy on a sunny day! Next, head to The Bund (Zhongshan East Road, right by the Huangpu River—open all day), Shanghai’s dreamy riverside promenade lined with colonial architecture and shimmering city skylines. For that epic photo, pose with the futuristic Pudong skyline behind you, especially as day turns to neon-lit night. Take a moment to soak up both the city buzz and gentle river breeze—my personal highlight! Finish by hopping onto the Jinling East Road Ferry (No.141 Bund, open 7:00 AM–9:00 PM) for a unique, budget-friendly way to cross the river. The Ferry offers front-row city views, especially on cloudy or rainy days—the contrast with gleaming glass towers is unreal. Pack a light raincoat just in case, as weather shifts quickly. Quick Tips: Wear comfy shoes, as you’ll be on your feet all day. Plan to visit in the early morning or late evening for magical light and fewer crowds. Always keep an eye out for changing weather! #Shanghai #UrbanAdventure #ModernArchitecture #TheBund #CityViews
