Shanghai – the one I’d return to ✨🇨🇳

I’ve visited many cities across China, but if I had to choose just one to go back to – it would, without a doubt, be Shanghai. From the magical sunsets at The Bund, to the peaceful beauty of Yu Garden, this city has a way of pulling you in. I loved getting lost on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, especially in the evening when the lights come alive. New World surprised me with its mix of art, culture, and shopping – and just a short trip away, Zhujiajiao, the so-called “Venice of China”, offered the perfect escape into old-world ancient charm. Shanghai is bold, graceful, futuristic – and full of soul. A place I’ll keep coming back to. 💫 #shanghaimagic #yugarden #thebund #zhujiajiao #nanjingroad #whyilovechina

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

Shanghai’s Iconic Riverside Gem—The Bund 🌃🏙️ Get ready to soak in the dramatic cityscape of Shanghai, where the glamour of The Bund lights up the Huangpu riverside with dazzling modern towers right beside elegant heritage buildings. It’s a day-to-night must for snap-happy explorers and architecture lovers! 🧭 Highlights & Route: Stroll along Zhongshan East Road, hugging the river for postcard views of both historic Western-style facades and futuristic skyscrapers across the water. Don’t miss the view from the promenade—mornings show off the architecture in crisp daylight, while the evenings set the scene ablaze with neon and shimmering reflections on the river. 📸 Insta-worthy spots: Stand along the railing by Huangpu River for sweeping panoramas of Pudong’s skyline, especially the glittering towers at night. Close-up shots of classic stone buildings shine brightest with moody clouds or rainy reflections—don’t fear a little drizzle, it just adds to the drama! 🌧️ Tips & Precautions: The Bund feels magical both day and night, so arrive before sunset and linger for the transformation. Crowds build fast in the evening (especially on weekends), so stake out your photo spot early. When rain clouds roll in, a waterproof jacket is smarter than an umbrella—wind can whip up quick and send umbrellas flying! Most of the Bund is outdoors, so watch out for slippery pavements if it’s wet. #Shanghai #TheBund #Cityscape #NightView #ArchitectureLover
