Waiting for the sunrise on the Centennial Bridge, I caught the romance of Shanghai’s early morning

North Bund｜I found all the less crowded and beautiful Lujiazui photo spots✨

This city walk route is seriously amazing—few people! Free! Every shot captures the Lujiazui trio in one frame📸 And the whole route is less than 2km, easy to check in without much walking~

🚶🏻‍♀️Best photo route:
📍588 Dongdaming Road (North Bund Raffles City Exit 2):
👉Exit 3 of Tilanqiao Station on Metro Line 12 is right here
👉There’s a super cool pedestrian bridge with a steel structure design
👉The highlight is you can frame the entire Lujiazui trio perfectly!

📍North Bund Riverside Promenade:
👉About a 5-minute walk from Raffles City
👉Look out for the "Rainbow Bridge," the curve of the wooden boardwalk is perfect for foreground shots
👉Even more beautiful at dusk, the golden light on the river is stunning

📍Hongkou Wharf:
👉A location full of old Shanghai charm
👉At dusk, with the ferry lit up as the foreground, it’s a perfect match with the trio

📍Magnolia Plaza:
👉The L-level viewing platform is a hidden gem
👉So few people, it feels like a private viewing deck

💡Tips:
1. Best shooting time: 3-5 PM, soft light and you can catch the sunset
2. Definitely bring a telephoto lens, 70-200mm is ideal
3. Don’t miss the hidden viewing terrace next to the restroom on Raffles City’s 2nd floor
4. Nearby there’s Luckin Coffee and %Arabica for grabbing a coffee while shooting
