The City walk of Shanghai at night is not only about the Bund and Binjiang, but also includes the Suzhou River

⛰【Attraction Guide】Suzhou River City walk 📍Detailed address: Fujian Road Bridge to Waibaidu Bridge 🚗Transportation guide: If you drive, park at the Soho International Plaza in the Suzhou River Bay area, where there are plenty of parking spaces, costing 15 yuan per hour. Then, take a 3-kilometer walk on your two legs. 🕙Opening hours: All day, all year round 💰Ticket price: Free 🌟Highlights: You don't have to squeeze through crowds at the Bund to see the lights during the National Day; the Suzhou River landscape corridor also offers a night view of the lights. Due to the 2023 Shanghai Jing'an International Light Festival, I went to the Soho International Plaza in the Suzhou River Bay area. After having dinner at 'Tim Ho Wan', I saw that many people were queuing for the 'Light and Shadow Interactive Show' (Starry Night by Van Gogh) and the 'Chasing Light Awards' light show at Shenyuli. It seemed impossible to enter without waiting for an hour, so I decided to give up. Since there was still time before the scheduled 21:00 'Master Performance Show', I walked from the Fujian Road Bridge in the Soho International Plaza area along the North Suzhou River to the Waibaidu Bridge, then turned back to the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce via South Suzhou Road. 🗺️North Suzhou Road: Fujian Road Bridge (Soho International Plaza) - Shanxi Road Bridge - Henan Road Bridge - Sichuan Road Bridge - Zhejiang Road Bridge - Waibaidu Bridge; then return along South Suzhou Road, a total of 3 kilometers back and forth. ✅Night view photography along North Suzhou Road: Tyndall Forest 'Light and Shadow Trail', Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, Riverside Building, Shanghai Postal Museum, etc., with excellent historical buildings along both sides of the Suzhou River. ✅Night view photography along South Suzhou Road: The Bund Origin, Cherry Blossom Valley, Guanglu Building, China Petrochemical's First Gas Station, etc. 🌟Zhapu Road Bridge: Standing on the Zhapu Road Bridge, you can frame a panoramic view to the east: Waibaidu Bridge, Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai People's Heroes Memorial Tower, and the 'Three Musketeers' of the Magic City; to the west: Sichuan Road Bridge, with a full view of the Shanghai Postal Museum! Truly the best and most invincible angle for taking pictures! 🌟Cherry Blossom Valley: Located at 186 South Suzhou Road, between the most beautiful bridge views of the Suzhou River, Zhapu Road Bridge, and Sichuan Road Bridge, with the theme of 'Journey of Shadows' lighting, the surrounding buildings, greenery, riverbanks, butterfly lights, firefly lights, etc., use 'shadows' to create a quiet and romantic atmosphere. Standing in Cherry Blossom Valley and looking to the right, you can see Zhapu Road Bridge, and to the left is Sichuan Road Bridge, making it an excellent high spot for photographing the Suzhou River night scene. 🌟China Petrochemical's First Gas Station: The gas station at 198 South Suzhou Road is known as the most beautiful gas station, built in the 1940s as the first gas station of China Petroleum Company, and named the First Gas Station. There is a café on the second floor of the gas station, facing the Shanghai Postal Museum across the river, offering an excellent angle for photography. 🌟Riverside Building: Known as the 'First Apartment in the Far East', American film companies such as MGM and Columbia Pictures once rented space here. Many architectural details are still preserved in their original state. 🌟Shanghai Postal Museum: The postal museum under the night sky is splendid, with the best close-up photography spot on the Sichuan Road Bridge across the street. (China's first provincial-level postal industry museum, a national key cultural relics protection unit, open on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from 09:00 to 16:00, free of charge.) 🌟The Bund Origin: The area retains a batch of various modern Western-style buildings built between 1920 and 1936, with 15 historical buildings still in existence, which is the source of the 'World Architecture Exposition' of the Bund and the core area of the Bund historical and cultural features! You can take European-style blockbuster photos in minutes! 🌟Waibaidu Bridge: Built in 1907 and still in use today, the bridge allows for normal vehicle traffic, with sidewalks on both sides. Walking on the Waibaidu Bridge, you can travel back in time to the era of the Republic of China in a second.
