Shanghai Check-in Guide

What places can you check in at during a two-day weekend trip to Shanghai?|||Today's topic—citywalk is basically an "extreme" sport. Location: Zhengzhou. Going to Shanghai for two days on the weekend, what to do, eat, and buy? The main activities are concentrated on Saturday, with the return trip on Sunday afternoon. Transportation: The morning train arrives around 6 AM, and you can take the subway directly to your desired destinations; the subway is very convenient, but sometimes the walk from the exit to the boarding point can be quite long—typical of big Shanghai. If you really can't walk, you can call a Didi ride and enjoy the city scenery on the way. What to do: Saturday check-in itinerary: Since we arrived early, the first stop was the Bund. We took the subway down and walked along East Nanjing Road. Early morning at the Shanghai Bund, many elderly people were doing morning exercises—second stop was walking along the Bund to check in at Waibaidu Bridge, the place where Yi Ping jumped off in the TV drama "Romance in the Rain"—third stop continued forward to check in at Zhapu Road Bridge—fourth stop was the Shanghai Post Museum (exterior) —fifth stop took the subway to the Shanghai Museum (People’s Square branch) to see the Egyptian artifacts exhibition—sixth stop took the subway to Xuhui District’s Xuhui Cathedral, open Tuesday to Saturday, some days close early, so if you want to go, check in advance. We didn’t go inside because there was an event on the 8th—seventh stop took a ride to the Memorial of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the ride was quite long, and we arrived after 4 PM, just in time to visit—eighth stop after returning to the hotel to freshen up, took a ride to the area near the Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower at night, checked in and took photos, and stopped by the Disney Store to buy some things—ninth stop took the subway to Nanjing East Road for shopping, visited the largest Miniso store, and saw the spiral staircase at New World Daimaru Department Store. Finally, back to the hotel to rest. Definitely walked over 20,000 steps, an extreme citywalk day. Sunday check-in itinerary: In the morning, rode a bike to the North Bund Tourism Resort to check in at the other side of the Oriental Pearl Tower, the scenery was very beautiful and refreshing in the morning—second stop returned to the hotel and took a ride to Sinan Mansions, a cluster of small Western-style houses, also visited Zhou’s Mansion, a different kind of sightseeing experience. What to eat: Had breakfast at Shanghai Railway Station with Xiao Yang Shengjian (pan-fried buns), which tasted better than those in Zhengzhou; lunch near the Shanghai Museum at People’s Square at Xian De Lai. We arrived around 1 PM and still had to queue. Ordered pork rib rice cakes, scallion oil noodles, etc. The taste was on the sweeter side but offered a unique flavor. Since we were there, we gave it a try; dinner was ordered delivery to the hotel because we were too tired, a bowl of noodles with toppings, don’t remember the restaurant, but it was quite tasty. On Sunday before leaving, had to eat Da Hu Chun Shengjian, which we tried once last year and really liked—the sweet dough flavor and the buns were filled generously. What souvenirs were brought back: Shanghai Museum Egyptian exhibition cultural products, small toys from the Disney Store, pastries from Shen Da Cheng, Da Hu Chun Shengjian buns, scallion pancakes, fried dough balls, and butterfly pastries from the International Hotel. After this trip, I didn’t expect the weekend could be so fulfilling. Looking forward to the next journey~
