🌌【Shanghai: The Heartbeat Code of the Modern Bund and a Family Stroll through Haipai Culture】🏙️

Standing at the 118th-floor observation deck of Shanghai Tower, the morning light of the Huangpu River gilds the Lujiazui skyline, while the aroma of scallion pancakes from the alleys mingles with jazz music to create a unique urban rhythm. This is a family paradise even Time Out calls the "Paris of the East"—a 6,340 square kilometer international metropolis with historic districts, tailor-made for family travel with a dual theme of "modern + nostalgic," where every corner hides a double surprise of fashion and history.
