🏮 Yu Garden – A Step Back in Time
Start at the Yu Garden, a stunning Ming Dynasty retreat filled with tranquil ponds, stone bridges, and classic Chinese pavilions. Stroll through Yuyuan Bazaar for some of Shanghai’s best street food—don’t miss the Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings)! 🥢🥟
🌉 The Bund – Shanghai’s Iconic Waterfront
Walk along The Bund, where you’ll see Shanghai’s most legendary skyline views. The mix of European-style colonial buildings on one side and ultramodern skyscrapers across the river is truly stunning! 📸✨
🏙️ Lujiazui – The Future of Shanghai
Take a quick ferry or subway ride across the Huangpu River to Lujiazui, Shanghai’s financial district. Head to:
✔ Shanghai Tower – China’s tallest building for sky-high views 🌆
✔ Jin Mao Tower – A pagoda-inspired skyscraper 🏯
✔ Oriental Pearl Tower – The most futuristic of them all 🪐
🚄 Transit Pro Tips
✔ Use Metro Line 2 for easy access. 🚇
✔ If time is tight, grab a taxi or Didi (China’s Uber). 🚕
