    The Bund, located in Shanghai, is a dazzling pearl in this bustling metropolis. By day, it's a vibrant hub of traffic and throngs of tourists, who stroll along, enjoying a rare moment of leisure. At night, the Bund takes on a completely different charm; as the lights come on and neon signs shimmer, it transforms into a fairyland.

The atmosphere of the park perfectly combines the classic Disney spirit with unique elements of Chinese culture.

    Really nice place to bring kid. The animals are in good condition and great place. Is a huge park so be ready to walk as the buggy is expensive.

    The view is breathtaking but… if you are unlucky as me you won’t see any sunset at all because of the smog. Other than that I enjoyed a lot the buildings lighting up.

    The City God Temple is located in the heart of the Yu Garden commercial district, and entering from the Nine-Turn Bridge area is generally the most atmospheric. Inside, you can visit the main hall, the God of Wealth Hall, and the Matchmaker Hall in sequence. The incense is plentiful, but the order is well-maintained. You can freely stroll around and admire the architectural details; the wood carvings and painted beams are quite exquisite. The process for making a wish is simple, and incense burners can be purchased outside the halls. After visiting the main hall area, it's easy to explore the surrounding old streets, which are packed with snacks. Classic local delicacies include Nanxiang steamed buns, crab roe soup dumplings, and pear syrup candy. It gets very crowded on holidays, so it's recommended to arrive early. For more authentic Jiangnan-style photos, early morning or evening when the lights are on are ideal. Yu Garden is within walking distance, so combining the two will provide a more complete experience. The overall pace is relaxed; two hours is sufficient to experience the lively atmosphere and old-world charm of the City God Temple.

    The environment is fantastic, perfect for taking photos! There are many shows! The most worthwhile shows are "The Great Earthquake" and "Romance of the Ages," especially "Romance of the Ages," with its various sound, light, and electrical effects, real water features, interactive performances between the actors and the audience, aerial acrobatics, special effects, and dynamic stage movement—all enhancing the show's impact! The nighttime views of the Huangpu River from the top floor are amazing! The afternoon tickets are great value for money!

    Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street stretches approximately 1,200 meters, lined with shops. Modern buildings interspersed with old European-style buildings, and the endless display of vertical shop signs creates a unique charm, especially at night when neon lights flicker. You can also take a ride on a "clang clang" (a miniature tram) to immerse yourself in the flavor of old Shanghai. The pedestrian street features an asymmetrical layout, with a 4.2-meter-wide "golden belt" running through the entire street. This belt is home to public amenities such as seating, shopping kiosks, information booths, billboards, sculptures, streetlights, waste bins, telephone booths, and 34 uniquely shaped flower beds. Century-old stores like Wing On Department Store and Hualian Department Store remain, interspersed with modern commercial buildings, creating a "worldwide architectural exposition." The street is also dotted with creative sculptures, vintage streetlights, and carved manhole covers, creating an artistic atmosphere.

    Definitely a must try if you’re first time in Shanghai! A nice view of Shanghai famous skyscrapers. The trip was roughly 45-60mins. You need to change to digital tickets at the machine before entering (can pick what hour you wanna board). Queue is smooth, we boarded less than 15mins)

    My husband and I visited the Expo Culture Park early this weekend. Our route was Twin Hills – Greenhouse Garden – Shen Garden. Going early definitely meant fewer people; there were fewer than 10 people on the Twin Hills viewing platform. After descending the hills, we strolled along the central lake to the Greenhouse Garden. The Greenhouse Garden has three main themed areas: Mirage Sandbar, Cloud Forest, and Cloud Canyon. Mirage Sandbar features a fantastical desert world with giant cacti, baobab trees, and a light and shadow corridor. Cloud Forest is the most dreamlike area in the Greenhouse Garden, featuring a tropical rainforest, an underwater forest, and a suspended walkway – perfect for taking photos! Cloud Canyon showcases tropical flowers and fantastical landscaping, also great for photography. Overall, this is a visually appealing and fun immersive exhibition greenhouse, perfect for bringing children.
