Iconic Shanghai🌟

Shanghai delivers high-energy city vibes with a European twist 🤩 From futuristic towers to old-school riverside strolls—this city’s got an unbeatable mix of modern culture and classic charm!

Top Spots to Visit in Shanghai:

🌆 Oriental Pearl Radio & Television Tower
No. 1 Century Avenue, Lujiazui, Pudong New Area
Open: 09:00–21:00 (admission ends 20:30)
Admission: ¥199
You can’t skip this iconic landmark! Head up to the 263m Main Observation Deck for wild 360° views of the whole skyline. Go late afternoon for crazy sunset shots and less queue stress.

🚶 Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street
Henan Middle Road, Huangpu District
Open: 24/7
This mega shopping street is pure sensory overload! My tip: Walk it end-to-end to soak in the local hustle, neon city lights, and every brand you know. It can get pretty packed—especially during Chinese holidays—so hit the side streets for quirky cafes.

🏞️ Yuyuan Garden
Famous for classic Chinese architecture, but warning: it gets super crowded on local holidays! If you crave peace and pretty photos, visit early or try alternative traditional spots nearby.

🌉 Waitanyuan & The Bund
No.33 Zhongshan Dongyi Road & Zhongshan East Road
Open: 24/7
The riverside walk along The Bund is Shanghai’s postcard backdrop. At night, the city lights get unreal, and the mix of modern/Euro-style buildings will blow your mind. Perfect for a night stroll (and TikTok vids).

Getting Around:
The Metro is fast, cheap, and covers all these major spots. Card machines have English—simply tap and go! For The Bund and Waitanyuan, just walk or e-bike for the full local experience.

Food:
Try local street food on Nanjing Road (scallion pancakes!) and grab a riverside coffee at The Bund for ultimate vibes.

Destination Tips:
Bring portable WiFi, pack light, and avoid holidays for smoother sightseeing.
