Staying near The Bund really makes a trip to Shanghai much easier. Spend the day exploring Nanjing East Road and Yu Garden, then take a leisurely stroll along the streets to The Bund in the evening to watch the lights on the opposite bank gradually turn on. Once you've had your fill of the night views, you can walk back to the hotel; this pace of travel is very comfortable. The room is simple and clean, and the floor-to-ceiling windows make the whole space feel very airy. Coming back after a full day of exploring, taking a hot shower, curling up in bed to watch a show, and then getting a good night's sleep—happiness is actually that simple. There's a laundry room and a gym, so it's very convenient if you're staying for a few days. The front desk staff are kind, they can store your luggage, and receiving a small gift when checking out was really heartwarming. If you're coming to Shanghai in July and want to stay somewhere convenient, this place is worth considering.

#christmastrip In the Jingan area of Shanghai, near the Jingan Temple, there is a walking Christmas market. The stalls sell small Christmas presents, Christmas food and drinks as well as artists that can paint people.

Sightseeing Boat Tours in Shanghai
Shanghai's night tour game just leveled up! From July 3–August 23, the Grand Yuyuan Summer Fantasy Night is back for a limited time, and it's free during the "All Things Have Spirits" garden party! Even international tourists are stopping to snap photos lately—the photo potential is off the charts 📸 🕐 5:30 PM Lighting ceremony Enter from Gate 2, and Yuyuan instantly switches to fantasy mode. I recommend arriving right on time to watch the lights "whoosh" on—it's a completely different world compared to the daytime ✨ 🌿 Ninghui Road (near Gate 5) Look up! There's a long green "ribbon" installation overhead, like a spirit snake or vines winding between the ancient buildings. This angle is perfect for a low-angle shot—remember to use your wide-angle lens 📷 🌉 Zigzag Bridge: A photo paradise with full sets and props This place is perfect for dressing up! Various character installations/figures are scattered along the bridge, making it feel like you've traveled onto a movie set. Come in Hanfu, New Chinese style, or dark aesthetic to take photos with the fantasy characters—your social media feed will blow up 💥 🏮 Yuyuan Old Street: Look up for Easter eggs Don't just look down while walking! Your favorite characters are hidden above the old street—you'll only find the surprises if you look up, like an urban treasure hunt 🎭 🎵 6:30 PM–9:30 PM Music and light show (every half hour) The main event! The rows of ancient buildings change light and shadow with the background music, instantly turning Yuyuan into an open-air theater. The moment the music starts, you'll get goosebumps 🎶 💡 Tips: · You can pick up a brochure on the 2nd floor of Huabao Building, but you need to join the "Leyou Yuyuan" membership. Limited to 100 copies per day! Go early if you want to collect stamps/check in. The condition for collecting stamps is purchasing IP-collaboration products. · I recommend arriving around 5:00 PM to take photos in the daylight first, then wait for the lights to turn on at 5:30 PM—get two experiences in one visit. · The Zigzag Bridge gets super crowded. If you want clean shots, I recommend going on a weekday evening. 📍 Yuyuan Garden 🎫 Free (July 3–August 23) 🚇 Metro Line 10/14, Yuyuan Station I mean, Yuyuan has really mastered "Chinese fantasy" with this one 🐉 👇 Are you planning to go in cosplay or just for everyday photos?

Ueno Weekly Hotspot

Ueno Weekly Hotspot

Hotspot One: A 'Paradise' Exclusive to Animals The beautiful early summer time has started, and the ecological natural vehicle area is at its most scenic. In the dense jungle, the reeds sway with the wind, perfectly setting off the three or two cheetahs with strong bodies in the grass, lazily looking around their territory. They walk lightly, almost all on the same straight line, and their tails also sway slightly with the wind. But when they run, the speed is extremely fast, hence the nickname 'the most beautiful flash'. Every day, the mighty male lions patrol around, they either jump on the perch or climb the artificial hill. The lionesses lie lazily on the grass to rest. If anything can awaken their vitality, it would be a delicious 'afternoon tea'. To eat food, climb the perch first! It can both exercise the body and supplement nutrition~ Brown bears particularly like water, they usually like to soak in the water, sometimes they 'enhance feelings' with each other, sometimes they like to play with a tree trunk that they don't know where it came from, they simply can't put it down; Northeast tigers live in artificial hills and waterfalls, experiencing the fun of traveling in mountains and waters, it can be described as quite comfortable! In addition to feeling the mighty posture of lions, tigers and other beasts, you may also see a group of wild ducks foraging on the river, herons and swans passing by in the woods and by the river; on the wide grassland, a large number of zebras are leisurely walking, giraffes chasing the leaves stretched out from the car... Return to nature, feel the wild fun, here you will be immersed in a harmonious scene of nature. Hotspot Two: As long as there is love, every day can be 520~ I don't know how everyone spent the day on 520? Did you come to Ueno to see the animals showing their love! Speaking of romance, we have to mention our swans, they are monogamous, inseparable every day, so sweet! Gibbons take the concept of love and family very seriously, it takes a long time from contact to courtship to reproduction, equivalent to a long-distance love run in humans. Ferris wheel, carousel is a dating holy land, take a dream journey in the amusement park! The romance of the zoo is not only this, quickly bring your beloved TA, come to Ueno to spend a wonderful time! As long as there is love, every day can be 520~

QINGZHI Hand Cream.

The go-to spot for chic Shanghai souvenirs! While strolling down Anfu Road, I stumbled upon the eye-catching pink exterior of QINGZHI Hand Cream's second store. Opened in 2025, this buzzed-about "pink treasure shop" is a massive hit with both local Shanghai youth and international travelers. Located at 55-57 Anfu Road, the shop perfectly complements the neighborhood's beautiful sycamore-lined streets. Inside, you'll find an array of unique hand creams themed around birthdays, surnames, and flowers—making them perfect for treating yourself or picking out gifts. They offer a wide variety of fragrances, and the formula provides deep hydration despite its lightweight feel. I highly recommend the Anfu Road exclusive pink series. The adorable gift boxes are incredibly photogenic and are sure to be a hit as presents for friends and family. If you're looking for a tasteful, quintessential Shanghai souvenir to remember your Anfu Road walk, this shop is a must-visit! 📍 55-57 Anfu Road 🚇 Approx. a 10-minute walk from Shanghai Library Station (Metro Line 10) 💰 Hand creams range from about 10 to 100 RMB.

Early Spring Exclusive Romance|Early Cherry Blossoms Blooming at Chenshan, No Need to Go to Japan to Capture Japanese-Style Masterpieces

Early Spring Exclusive Romance|Early Cherry Blossoms Blooming at Chenshan, No Need to Go to Japan to Capture Japanese-Style Masterpieces

Spring in Shanghai is awakened by the early cherry blossoms at Chenshan Botanical Garden🌸 No need to travel far to Japan, no need to squeeze into popular parks. In Songjiang Chenshan, the 800-meter-long Kawazu Cherry Blossom Avenue is in full bloom, with clouds of pink flowers spreading from the branches. The Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom before the leaves, with open flower shapes and soft pink hues. When the wind blows, petals gently fall, and even the air is filled with a tender sweetness. As a yearly must-visit for cherry blossom viewing at Chenshan, this year I personally confirmed that the early cherry blossoms have reached their best viewing period. The branches are adorned with pink blossoms, clusters of flowers everywhere—it's the perfect time for an early spring cherry blossom date. This guide compiles the best cherry blossom spots, garden routes, photography tips, and pitfalls to avoid. Artistic yet practical, follow it to easily capture early spring romance and wow your social circle~ 🌸Core Cherry Blossom Spot|The Early Cherry Blossom Center, Love at First Sight The absolute star of Chenshan’s early cherry blossoms is the 📍800-meter Kawazu Cherry Blossom Avenue next to Gate 1. This is one of the few super-long early cherry blossom tunnels in Shanghai. Hundreds of Kawazu cherry trees line both sides, with low-hanging branches. No need to tiptoe or climb high—just raise your hand to embrace the cherry blossoms. It’s a perfect photo spot made for capturing stunning shots🌷 At the end of the avenue is an inner river, where distant mountains, clear water, and pink cherry blossoms create a picturesque scene. Occasionally, black swans glide across the water, instantly evoking the feel of a Japanese film. Walking through the tunnel, pink cherry blossoms fill the sky above, and fallen petals carpet the path below, as if stepping into a springtime fairy tale by Hayao Miyazaki. Every step is soaked in romance. Besides the popular Kawazu Cherry Blossom Avenue, there are several lesser-known early cherry blossom spots with fewer people and great photo opportunities. Don’t miss them: ✅ Cherry Blossom Pier: Next to the Hydrangea Garden, early cherry blossoms by the water have an elegant posture. Using the river as a backdrop, photos come out cool and artistic. ✅ Early Cherry Blossoms by the Mining Pit Garden: Two early cherry trees lean against a grassy slope, secluded and quiet. Paired with the mining pit cliff, it creates a striking contrast between industry and nature. ✅ Cherry Blossom Forest at Gate 1 Entrance: Right at the entrance, dense blossoms are perfect for panoramic shots. Arrive early to almost have the place to yourself. Each of these early cherry blossom spots has its own charm—whether lively or tranquil. Whether you’re alone, with friends, or on a date, you can find your own cherry blossom corner and collect all the beauty of early spring✨ 🗺️Garden Route: Enter through Gate 1 → Kawazu Cherry Blossom Avenue (40 minutes, plenty of time for cherry blossom photos) → Cherry Blossom Pier (20 minutes, less crowded photo spot) → Mining Pit Garden (40 minutes, check out the waterfall secret spot) → Tropical Greenhouse (30 minutes, experience the vitality of greenery) → Exit through Gate 1 🎫Tickets: Adult ticket 60 RMB, students and seniors with valid ID enjoy half price. Tickets available online and offline. Advance booking recommended to save entry time. ⏰Opening Hours: 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM (last entry at 5:00 PM). Be sure to arrive early! The garden opens at 8 AM—rush in to enjoy the cherry blossom avenue alone before 9 AM. After that, it gets crowded. 🚗Transportation Guide: 🟢Metro: Exit 4 at Dongjing Station on Line 9, transfer to Songjiang Bus 19 or Zhushong Line, direct to Chenshan Botanical Garden Gate 1. 🟢Driving: Navigate to "Chenshan Botanical Garden Gate 1 Parking Lot." Plenty of parking spaces, no traffic if you arrive early. 🟢On-site Transport: Shuttle bus inside the garden costs 5 RMB per person. Essential for families with kids or those with limited stamina, making it easy to tour the garden. 👗Outfit Ideas: Light colors are always the best match for early cherry blossoms! White dresses, light pink knitwear, pale blue shirts—soft and brightening. Wearing Hanfu or JK uniforms instantly unlocks Japanese-style ancient aesthetics. Pair with straw bags, transparent umbrellas, cherry blossom lattes—props double the atmosphere. Avoid bright clashing colors, or they’ll steal the cherry blossoms’ spotlight~ 📷Photo Spots: ✅Middle of Cherry Blossom Avenue: Shoot upward for panoramic views, framing the sky full of pink blossoms. Capture people walking for dynamic shots. ​ ✅Under Low-Hanging Branches: Use branches as a natural frame. Look down smelling flowers or reach up touching blossoms—gentle and natural. ​ ✅By the Inner River: Back to cherry blossoms, facing the water. Shoot side profiles or silhouettes with backlighting, petals glowing golden—absolutely stunning. ​ ✅Fallen Petal Path: Crouch to pick petals or gently toss them, capturing the moment for a heartwarming effect. 💡Tips: ✅Before 9 AM and after 4 PM, the light is soft and not harsh, making skin look clear in photos. ✅Use portrait mode on your phone to blur the background and highlight cherry blossoms and people. ✅Weekends are very crowded; prioritize visiting on weekdays for a better experience. ​ ✅Early cherry blossoms have a short bloom period, only 1-2 weeks at peak. Don’t miss it or wait until next year—hurry! ​ ✅The garden offers cherry blossom-themed treats like cherry blossom lattes and mousse—beautiful and delicious, perfect for photos. ​ ✅Bring a power bank, sun hat, and water bottle. Spring sunshine is warming up, so protect yourself from the sun and enjoy a full day easily. ✅Enjoy the blossoms respectfully—don’t shake trees or break branches. Let everyone enjoy the most beautiful spring🌿 Spring romance is half blooming flowers and half serendipitous encounters🌸 Chenshan’s early cherry blossoms have none of the summer’s noise or autumn’s desolation, only the gentle healing unique to early spring. The 800-meter pink cherry blossom tunnel and fluttering petals hide Shanghai’s most enchanting spring scenery. No need to travel far or wait long. Pick a sunny day and come to Chenshan for an early cherry blossom date now~
