Shanghai 🌃

Shanghai & Beijing Highlights: Why I Loved My City-Hopping Adventure 🇨🇳✨
If you’re after unforgettable waterfront walks, cozy hotels near the action, and effortless metro access, Shanghai has got the goods! My recent four-day trip was all about prime locations, major sights, and some super practical hacks for first-timers.

Top Spots to Visit
1. JI Hotel (Shanghai The Bund Jinling East Road)
No. 33 He'nan South Road
Love a hassle-free stay? This hotel wins for location—one min to Yuyuan Metro, three mins to The Bund, and right by Nanjing Road. Free laundry, daily housekeeping, and genuinely helpful front desk staff scored big points. Tip: Ask staff for travel tips and check-in help—they really know their stuff.
Breakfast is ok (Chinese choices with some Western basics), but menu repeats. Soundproofing isn’t perfect, so bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Also, loads of convenience stores and eateries nearby!

2. Huangpu River
Huangpu District (Open all day, year-round)
For scenic Shanghai, stroll along the Huangpu River anytime—no entry fee! Whether it’s sunrise or late evening, it’s peaceful, photogenic, and close to metro stations for easy access.

3. The Bund
Zhongshan East Road, Huangpu District (Open all day)
Iconic skyline alert! The Bund combines epic architecture with panoramic views across the river. Go at sunset for killer photos. It’s a 3-minute walk from the hotel, so you can pop by day or night.

Getting Around
Shanghai’s metro system is super efficient and cheap. The Yuyuan Metro Station connects you to most major spots in minutes—get a rechargeable metro card for fuss-free travel.

Eating Tips
Try local restaurants close to the Bund and Nanjing Road—street food, casual noodle bars, and Chinese breakfast at the hotel all hit the spot. Big tip: Grab breakfast favorites early before crowds arrive!
