Just wrapped up an epic escape

Just wrapped up an epic escape to Shanghai and trust me—this city is an absolute vibe! 🌆✨ Between dazzling skylines and jaw-dropping history, Shanghai proves why it’s the ultimate blend of East meets West. Everything’s clean, modern, and super accessible, making exploring a breeze for first-timers and pro travelers alike.

Top Spots to Visit in Shanghai

1. The Bund (Waitan) 🌃
You simply *cannot* skip this. The Bund serves up world-famous views of Shanghai’s futuristic skyline, and the riverside promenade is ideal for Insta-worthy evening strolls. Go after sunset when the Pudong skyscrapers light up for the best vibe.

2. Yuyuan Garden & Old City
Step back centuries at Yuyuan—this stunning classical garden is surrounded by the bustling Old City. Wander traditional alleys, shop quirky souvenirs, and taste classic snacks (try xiaolongbao!) at the bazaar just outside the garden (No. 218 Anren St, open 8:45am–4:45pm).

3. Nanjing Road 🛍️
Shanghai’s glitzy pedestrian street is retail heaven—high-end shops, local brands, food everywhere. Pro tip: In the evening, the neon lights are next-level. Start snapping!

4. Xintiandi
This walkable, car-free district oozes style—restored “shikumen” stone-gate houses mixed with hip cafés and lively nightlife.

Getting Around 🚇
Metro is the GOAT here—cheap, clean, English signage everywhere. Grab a transport card at any station (refund it before you leave!).

Eat This!
Don’t leave without eating soup dumplings (xiaolongbao—try them in Yuyuan or Jia Jia Tang Bao), plus crispy shengjianbao at breakfast spots.

Top Tips
Shanghai is super safe, cashless payments are king (Alipay/WeChat Pay), and most sights take card. Weather? Bring a light rain jacket most months.
