Current situation in Shanghai. Those planning to visit in March should check out this guide.

If you're planning a trip to Shanghai in March, it's best to revise your itinerary. Here are some important things to keep in mind: The Bund: The Bund's lights turn off at 10pm. If you want to enjoy the night view, go early. If you want to take beautiful photos, arrive before the lights go out. The Bund is crowded, and the best spot for photos is along the riverside fence, with the historic buildings as a backdrop. It's super atmospheric. Admission: Free. Huangpu River: You can take a ferry for ¥2 to tour the Huangpu River. While the view from the ferry isn't as good as from a sightseeing boat, it's incredibly cost-effective. The best route is from Puxi to Pudong, or vice versa, to experience crossing the river. Disney Resort: If you plan to visit Disney Resort, staying in Xujiahui is convenient, as Line 11 goes directly there. Ticket prices vary depending on the date and ticket type. Check the official channels for details. After entering, head to popular attractions like Tron Lightcycle Power Run and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Plan your route based on the crowds and your preferences. There are many photo spots in Disney Resort, such as in front of the castle and the Alice in Wonderland Maze. Note: Outside food is not allowed, and food inside is expensive. You can bring some small snacks. Local Treats: Try the turkey legs and corn dogs. Transportation: Public transport is the way to go in Shanghai. The subway and buses are very convenient. The subway network is extensive and covers most attractions. There's no need to take a taxi, especially during rush hour, as traffic can be heavy. North Bund: If you want to avoid the crowds at the Bund, the North Bund offers similar views and photo opportunities of the historic buildings and the Bund's iconic trio. The photo ops are fantastic. Admission: Free. Wukang Building: Visit Wukang Building in the morning. It gets crowded in the afternoon, and the lighting isn't good for photos in the evening. Afterward, stroll down Anfu Road, which has many trendy shops. Xujiahui Cathedral and Xujiahui Library are also within walking distance. The best photo spot for Wukang Building is at the intersection of Wukang Road and Huaihai Middle Road, where you can capture the entire building. Admission: Free. Local Treats: There are many coffee shops and dessert places nearby, such as Peet's Coffee and Mabushi Ice Cream. Shanghai City Walk Routes: Xintiandi, Huaihai Middle Road, Nanjing West Road, Zhang Garden, Shimen Road on Nanjing West Road, Jing'an Temple, and Yuyuan Road are the essence of Shanghai city walks. Stroll along these streets to experience Shanghai's unique charm and discover interesting shops and architecture. Admission: Free. Oriental Pearl Tower: You don't need to pay to go up the Oriental Pearl Tower. The overpass outside offers great photo opportunities with similar views. The Bund Finance Center has a nice night view, too. Oriental Pearl Tower ticket prices vary depending on the activity. Check online for details. Photo Spot: The overpass, with the Oriental Pearl Tower in the background. Note: The area is crowded, so keep your belongings safe. Local Treats: Try the shengjian bao (pan-fried dumplings) and pork ribs rice cakes nearby. Tianzifang: Tianzifang doesn't have many shops now, and it's not crowded. It's not recommended. Yu Garden (City God Temple): Visit Yu Garden (City God Temple) in the evening to see the blend of old and new Shanghai. It's very charming. However, the snacks here are overpriced and not very tasty. Yu Garden ticket prices are available on official channels. The best photo spots are the ancient stage and Zigzag Bridge. Note: It's crowded, so be mindful of your safety. Local Treats: Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant's xiaolongbao are famous, but expect long lines. Lujiazui: In Lujiazui, take a stroll or bike ride in Binjiang Park, enjoying the evening breeze and the view of the historic buildings across the river. The Pudong Museum of Art is next door. Even if you don't want to buy a ticket, the museum's exterior has a great light show. Admission: Binjiang Park is free. Pudong Museum of Art ticket prices vary depending on the exhibition. Photo Spot: The waterfront platform in Binjiang Park. Note: Be careful by the river at night. Local Treats: There are many Western and Japanese restaurants nearby. Transportation Hubs: Both Hongqiao Railway Station and Pudong International Airport have direct subway lines to the city center. Taking a taxi requires queuing and wastes time. The subway is faster and more convenient.
