Night tour of Magic City～The night view of Shanghai Bund is stunning

Visiting the Bund in Shanghai is a must, a romance etched into your DNA! Stroll along the Huangpu River at dusk, watching the skyscrapers of Lujiazui light up one by one. The Oriental Pearl’s spheres shimmer with colorful lights in the night, the Shanghai Tower’s "Light at the Top" pierces the night sky, forming a breathtaking skyline with the Jin Mao Tower and the Shanghai World Financial Center.

Turning to the west side, the illuminated buildings of the International Architecture Exhibition come alive. Gothic spires and Baroque reliefs reveal their vintage charm under the lights. The copper dome of the Peace Hotel is especially eye-catching, as if telling the stories of old Shanghai.

Taking a boat cruise at night is an even better experience! The evening breeze brushes your face, river waves gently lap the boat’s side, and the lights on both banks cast flickering reflections on the water. On one side is the weight of a century-old history, on the other the modernity of an international metropolis—every snapshot looks like a blockbuster.

Tips:

• Best viewing time: 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM (peak lighting)

• Recommended spots: Bund viewing platform, in front of the Peace Hotel, Shiliupu Pier

• Combine with a walk and food at Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street to experience the charm of Magic City transitioning from day to night
