Art Deco Shanghai: The Peace Hotel

⛴ Getting There - take the river bus over from Pudong or head to Nanjing West station 🏨 Attractions - The hotel was the largest building in the city when build in the 1920s 🏯 Hotels - it is a hotel! 🥃 Food & Restaurants - they have some very retro old school restaurants largely unchanged since the 30s 🎁 Shopping - it’s just at the mount of Nanjing East Road, one of Shanghai’s biggest shopping streets This is one of Shanghai’s most famous hotels and was previously called the #cathay - it was all the stars of the 20s and 30s stayed. Head inside to check out the lobby and some for the Art Deco features, then hit the Jazz bar for the Peace Hotel’s live band (the band look as old as the hotel) for some old school tunes, unchanged since Shanghai’s golden era! 🎺 #shanghai #architecture #newyearadventure #artdeco #上海

The Bund

✨ Classic Skyline Magic at The Bund, Shanghai ✨ Nothing captures Shanghai’s cosmopolitan spirit quite like The Bund! Stretching along the Huangpu River, this legendary waterfront exudes old-meets-new charm—think colonial-era architecture with futuristic towers glittering across the water. 🧭 How to Explore: Start your stroll early on Zhongshan East Road for tranquil vibes and dreamy sunlight—perfect for taking in the city’s energy before tourists and locals flood in. Head north from the Peace Hotel, moving towards Huangpu Park, and keep your camera ready for shifting light over the river. 📸 Photo Spots: Spot your best angle from right where the buildings curve near the riverbank—the gold and silver morning light makes both the vintage facades and Pudong’s high-rise silhouettes absolutely insta-worthy! Pro tip: the first hour after sunrise is pure magic here. 🎯 Must-Do Experiences: Snap iconic photos of the skyline (Oriental Pearl Tower steals the show), people-watch at historic buildings, and soak up the blend of languages, fashion, and cultures along the walkway. If you get hungry, vintage cafes nearby serve traditional and fusion eats! 💡 Visiting Tips: Arrive super early, as you mentioned—the best photos and vibes come long before crowds settle in. The sunrise window is also cooler and more comfortable. Bring a light jacket if you plan to linger, and consider a portable tripod for low-light shots. ⚠️ Precautions: The walkway can be slippery after rain, so dress accordingly. Beware of touts offering “river tours” at inflated prices. Most areas are open all-day, but busy weekends mean more traffic, so stick to weekday mornings if you can. #Shanghai #TheBund #CityViews #TravelTips #Architecture
