The Bund, located in Shanghai, is a dazzling pearl in this bustling metropolis. By day, it's a vibrant hub of traffic and throngs of tourists, who stroll along, enjoying a rare moment of leisure. At night, the Bund takes on a completely different charm; as the lights come on and neon signs shimmer, it transforms into a fairyland.
Great little experience for kids! We enjoyed it and booked the round trip. You can get off and explore the other side before taking the tunnel back.

Lujiazui, a dazzling pearl of Shanghai, is world-renowned for its bustling financial and business district. Here, skyscrapers stand tall, financial institutions abound, and it is home to the headquarters of numerous well-known domestic and international companies. Lujiazui's night view is particularly magnificent, a dazzling display of lights showcasing the metropolis's prosperity and vitality.
The view of the Bund is quite nice. I initially thought the damper demonstration was meant to use light and shadow to explain the working principle, but it turned out to be just a light show, which I personally felt was unnecessary. However, science and engineering enthusiasts might want to check it out in person.

"A fairytale come true, the immersive experience is top-notch! The rides are thrilling and dreamlike, with thoughtful details everywhere. Although the queues were a bit long, it was all worth it. A wonderful day trip, I'd love to come back!"
Access is via passport scanner, which is very convenient, and if you don't need any coupons, it's the most reasonable price. The place is huge, but the queues for rides are not as long as in Tokyo. You might not need to buy a ealry entry ticket in advance if you don't want to take pictures without people around.

The place is quite large, with many animals.
There are about twenty Siberian tigers in total, which is a lot. The tiger hunting show is also very entertaining.
There are also many bears.
There are penguins and pandas.
The animals are well cared for. Pushing a stroller is basically not an obstacle.
Animals from land, sea, and air—a one-minute transition to the African savanna at the Shanghai Wild Animal Park! Free admission for those celebrating their birthday in August! [cake emoji] It's simply amazing!
You could spend a whole day there and still not see everything. The facilities have improved significantly since three years ago; it's getting better and better.

It's worth a visit if you haven't been before. Make an appointment for the damper ride first, otherwise you'll waste time if you go to the observation deck and then have an appointment. Also, you need to arrive early to queue for the damper ride. We had an appointment, went to get some fruit tea, and when we came back, our appointment time was already booked, so we had to wait for the next group. The best sunset spot was occupied by many people who didn't seem to care, so we only looked at it and didn't take any pictures.
The view is breathtaking but… if you are unlucky as me you won’t see any sunset at all because of the smog. Other than that I enjoyed a lot the buildings lighting up.

The City God Temple is located in the heart of the Yu Garden commercial district, and entering from the Nine-Turn Bridge area is generally the most atmospheric. Inside, you can visit the main hall, the God of Wealth Hall, and the Matchmaker Hall in sequence. The incense is plentiful, but the order is well-maintained. You can freely stroll around and admire the architectural details; the wood carvings and painted beams are quite exquisite. The process for making a wish is simple, and incense burners can be purchased outside the halls.
After visiting the main hall area, it's easy to explore the surrounding old streets, which are packed with snacks. Classic local delicacies include Nanxiang steamed buns, crab roe soup dumplings, and pear syrup candy. It gets very crowded on holidays, so it's recommended to arrive early. For more authentic Jiangnan-style photos, early morning or evening when the lights are on are ideal. Yu Garden is within walking distance, so combining the two will provide a more complete experience. The overall pace is relaxed; two hours is sufficient to experience the lively atmosphere and old-world charm of the City God Temple.
10時ぐらいに向かい、列もなく非常に早く入場できました。中に入ると、映画で見るような中国の歴史的な建物があります。雨の日だったのか人はあまりおらず、非常に快適でした。間違いなく最高の観光地で、上海を訪れるならここは必ず入れるべきです。価格も非常に安く、本当におすすめです。

The multiple shows were interesting, and performances were done professionally and with great skills. Totally enjoyed the experience, would recommend!!!
The environment is fantastic, perfect for taking photos! There are many shows! The most worthwhile shows are "The Great Earthquake" and "Romance of the Ages," especially "Romance of the Ages," with its various sound, light, and electrical effects, real water features, interactive performances between the actors and the audience, aerial acrobatics, special effects, and dynamic stage movement—all enhancing the show's impact! The nighttime views of the Huangpu River from the top floor are amazing! The afternoon tickets are great value for money!

Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street stretches approximately 1,200 meters, lined with shops. Modern buildings interspersed with old European-style buildings, and the endless display of vertical shop signs creates a unique charm, especially at night when neon lights flicker. You can also take a ride on a "clang clang" (a miniature tram) to immerse yourself in the flavor of old Shanghai. The pedestrian street features an asymmetrical layout, with a 4.2-meter-wide "golden belt" running through the entire street. This belt is home to public amenities such as seating, shopping kiosks, information booths, billboards, sculptures, streetlights, waste bins, telephone booths, and 34 uniquely shaped flower beds. Century-old stores like Wing On Department Store and Hualian Department Store remain, interspersed with modern commercial buildings, creating a "worldwide architectural exposition." The street is also dotted with creative sculptures, vintage streetlights, and carved manhole covers, creating an artistic atmosphere.
Shanghai's Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is one of the few pedestrian streets that perfectly blends classicism and prosperity. Strolling along Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, you can feel both the weight of history and the prosperity of the present.

Definitely a must try if you’re first time in Shanghai! A nice view of Shanghai famous skyscrapers. The trip was roughly 45-60mins. You need to change to digital tickets at the machine before entering (can pick what hour you wanna board). Queue is smooth, we boarded less than 15mins)
Well worth the money, the skyline view is fantastic. We paid another 100 Yuan to get access to the front of the cruise ship with some snacks and drinks included. You also get a nice scarf as a gift.

My husband and I visited the Expo Culture Park early this weekend. Our route was Twin Hills – Greenhouse Garden – Shen Garden. Going early definitely meant fewer people; there were fewer than 10 people on the Twin Hills viewing platform. After descending the hills, we strolled along the central lake to the Greenhouse Garden.
The Greenhouse Garden has three main themed areas: Mirage Sandbar, Cloud Forest, and Cloud Canyon.
Mirage Sandbar features a fantastical desert world with giant cacti, baobab trees, and a light and shadow corridor.
Cloud Forest is the most dreamlike area in the Greenhouse Garden, featuring a tropical rainforest, an underwater forest, and a suspended walkway – perfect for taking photos!
Cloud Canyon showcases tropical flowers and fantastical landscaping, also great for photography.
Overall, this is a visually appealing and fun immersive exhibition greenhouse, perfect for bringing children.
The greenhouse garden boasts a wide variety of plants and flowers, with a well-designed, beautiful, and unique interior layout. Inside, sunlight streams through the glass, casting a warm golden glow over the diverse and exotic flora. Tall tropical palms stretch their leaves, vines entwine the flower trellises, and the air is filled with a moist, fragrant aroma. Orchids of various colors bloom quietly in the corners, their vibrant hues reflected in the pond, creating the feeling of stepping into a tranquil yet magnificent plant kingdom.
