Shanghai what to do

Beijing and Shanghai in one trip? Double the adventure, double the vibes! 🌆✨ Shanghai totally stole the show with its hot spring goodness and famous city lights — don’t miss these top picks if you’re looking for the best of the city.

Top Spots to Visit in Shanghai

🥇 Shuiguo - Hot Spring
Address: 申长路虹桥商务区龙湖虹桥天街B馆H栋B1层(虹桥英迪格酒店对面)
Opening Hours: Open all day, year-round
Admission: 298 RMB
My tip: This is hands-down the best hot spring in Shanghai if you need relaxation after sightseeing or long travel days. Go for a weeknight for more peace and fewer crowds!

🌉 The Bund
Address: Zhongshan East Road, Huangpu District (right on the Huangpu River)
Opening Hours: Open all day, year-round
If you want the iconic Shanghai skyline Insta shot, head there late afternoon — the lighting’s perfect and the city really starts to buzz after sunset. Trust me, it’s one of the most breathtaking urban horizons on Earth!

Getting Around
🚇 Metro is fast, cheap, and connects you to both these spots directly. Grab a prepaid metro card when you arrive (save some WeChat pay troubles). Taxis are safe too, but rush hour can be slow.

Eat & Drink
Food near The Bund is a little pricey, but look for local dumpling shops one block off the river, especially in Huangpu district. For drinks: rooftop bars around the Bund area deliver next-level views!

Extra Tips
No visa required for either Beijing or Shanghai if you’re on the 144-hour transit rule. Always have cash or Alipay for smaller vendors. Shanghai weather can be humid — bring a light rain jacket!
