Exploring Beijing and Shanghai? This trip gave major city vibes — think riverside strolls, cutting-edge buildings, and chill coffee breaks ☀️🏙️ Here’s my guide to the best spots I found in Shanghai! Top Spots to Visit in Shanghai: 1. The Bund (Zhongshan East Road, Huangpu District) Must-visit for sunset or night views! Stroll along the Huangpu River and catch epic skyline shots (totally Instagrammable). It’s open all day, so no rush — just go when the light is right. Tip: Visit during weekdays in the late afternoon to avoid crowds! 2. 1000 Trees This modern architectural wonder is where art and nature fuse — the building’s exterior is literally bursting with greenery. Bring a camera, especially on sunny days (makes those Nature-Vision/Architecture-Vision shots pop!). There are rivers and outdoor art installations nearby for chilling out or people-watching. Quick Tips from My Experience: If you’re craving a break, find a cool indoor coffee shop — there are plenty near The Bund with authentic Chinese wall décor. A perfect spot for some chill time or to edit travel snaps! Getting Around: Metro is fast, reliable, and cheap! Get a Shanghai metro card at any station. The Bund and 1000 Trees are accessible via public transit — just plug the locations into your maps app for the nearest stop. Food: Hit local coffee shops for a uniquely Shanghai vibe (some serve stellar matcha lattes). For dinner, check out riverside spots along The Bund for a view with your meal. Travel Essentials: No visa needed for short stops if you’re eligible for the 144-hour transit policy, but double-check before you go. Always carry some cash and a translation app — it makes everything smoother! #ShanghaiVibes #ModernChina #TravelTips #CityBreak #tripdotcom#china_diaries #chinatrip
