🌃✨The Bund's night view is breathtaking! This is truly the pinnacle of Shanghai's prosperity! ✨🌃

#NovemberDestinations2025 Finally arrived at the legendary Bund in Shanghai, and I was truly speechless with awe at the night view! Standing on the Huangpu River, to the left was the glittering "World Architecture Expo," each building resembling a European palace; to the right, across the river, were the ultra-futuristic "Magic City Trio," with the Oriental Pearl Tower shimmering right before my eyes. This visual impact of traveling through a century in an instant, of the past and present intertwined, was truly incredible! 🌆 Especially the moment the lights come on at night, the entire river surface shimmers, and every snapshot looks like a still from a movie. Although the crowds were like New Year's Eve, the river breeze and the million-dollar night view made it all worthwhile! If you haven't seen the Bund at night, you can't say you've been to Shanghai! ⸻ 📝Bund Night View Lighting Tips (Super Useful!) • 💡 Note the light-off time: The landscape lights usually turn off promptly at 10:00 PM (or 11:00 PM). Don't go too late, or it will be pitch black and you'll regret it. • 🚢 Take the 2-yuan ferry: Don't take the expensive sightseeing boats. Use your transportation card to take the ferry for just 2 yuan. You can enjoy the same view of the river, and it's incredibly cost-effective! • 📸 Avoid crowds: The Nanjing East Road intersection is the most crowded. Walk towards the Waibaidu Bridge; it's less crowded, and you can still take photos of this century-old iron bridge. • ☁️ Check the weather forecast: This is super important. If it's foggy or rainy, the tops of the buildings on the opposite bank will disappear into the clouds, making the photos less spectacular. • ☕ Peace Hotel Jazz: If your budget allows, head to the Peace Hotel for a traditional jazz concert and a cocktail—the old Shanghai ambiance is unbeatable. This night view is truly luxurious and captivating; you absolutely can't miss it if you want to experience the pinnacle of Shanghai's charm! 🌃🥂✨
