Recommended Attractions for Independent Travel in Shanghai, China #Day 2

Here are some great places to visit on Day 2 after a morning stop at Xintiandi! 💕

📍SINAN MANSIONS
#SINANMANSIONS is located in a quiet neighborhood, far from the bustling city center of Shanghai. The complex features 51 historical garden-style buildings, which in the 1920s housed restaurants, bars, hotels, offices, and boutiques in one of the most luxurious residential complexes.
Listed as a national tourist destination in 2022, Sinan Mansion has become a unique urban public space that combines culture, history, and fashion.

📍Tian Zi Fang
Easily accessible from Exit 1 of #Dapuqiao Station.
Tian Zi Fang, often called the #Insadong of Shanghai! It's packed with a variety of shops, including leather workshops, teahouses, and cheongsam (traditional qipao) shops. :)

- BLAN BUNNY
A must-visit #Blanbunny when visiting Tian Zi Fang!! With an Alice in Wonderland theme, they sell cute teapots, cups, teas, strainers, and other tea accessories. It feels a bit like a toy store for adults!! It's fun to browse, so I highly recommend a visit😆! I think it'll make a great #souvenir that combines travel memories with practicality :)

📍Nanjing Road
Shanghai's #bustling district!! International brands like Sephora and Uniqlo are all gathered here, along with large shopping malls.

There's a Starbucks Reserve Roastery, and true to Chinese culture, they also have a section selling teas in addition to coffee, making it a great place to browse. :)

- 山石榴 SHAN SHI LIU Guizhou Cuisine
#ShanshiLiu, a 2024 #Michelin-starred #restaurant specializing in Guizhou cuisine.
If you exit Exit 14 from West Nanjing Road Station, you'll see a shopping mall full of restaurants on your left. Sanseokryu is on the 3rd floor, but there's also a #Khaosan #ramen restaurant on the 1st floor that's featured in the #MichelinGuide every year, and there are plenty of other great restaurants, so choose according to your taste :)

I ordered this restaurant's signature dish! It tasted like #TomYumKung with a spoonful of Chinese spices? But the key was the generous portion of fish fillet!! The plump fish was soaked in the broth, so the seasoning was just right. Best of all, the portion was generous and delicious 😋
It was a great choice, as you can experience a Michelin-starred restaurant for around 111 yuan (about 20,000 won), including rice. :)

- ZHANG YUAN
This area is a large block with several entrances and alleyways. Popular stores include #BlueBottle and #Dior, and a few were closed at the time.
It felt like another world within Shanghai, which was fun in its own way :)
