Huangpu River Walking Route📍🇨🇳

Ready for 7 days of pure Shanghai magic? 😍 Here’s where it all begins: the iconic Huangpu River in the heart of the city! Its skyline views are legendary, and visiting at sunrise or sunset makes for absolutely jaw-dropping photos 🌆.
Must-See Places:
The Huangpu River runs right through Shanghai’s soul, dividing the historic Puxi and futuristic Pudong. All-day access means you can stroll the riverside promenade anytime, but locals say it’s most dreamy after dark when neon lights bounce off the water. Pro tip: Start your evening walk from the Bund (East Zhongshan No.1 Rd, Huangpu District), then head south for less-crowded paths.
Traveler Insight:
Exploring the Huangpu River is the perfect way to kick off your Shanghai adventure. I suggest grabbing coffee from a riverside café in the morning or settling in for riverside cocktails at night—either way, epic views guaranteed! Don’t stress about timing since it’s open 24/7; just check the weather, and wear comfy shoes, as you'll want to walk a lot.
How to Get Around:
Subway Line 2 and Line 10 both lead straight to The Bund area. Metro rides are cheap and easy—just snag a Shanghai Transportation Card at any station for contactless tap-in/tap-out convenience.
Food Recommendation:
Try street snacks along Nanjing Road nearby. Scallion pancakes or soup dumplings (xiao long bao) make for unbeatable pre-river stroll bites!
Extra Tips:
No entry fee. Most cafes/restaurants accept card or mobile pay. The area is super safe but does get busy on weekends, so go early for peace.
