#chinatransit Got a few hours in Shanghai? Make the most of your transit with a perfect mix of old and new—historic streets, ancient gardens, and futuristic skyscrapers! 🚀 🏮 Yu Garden – A Step Back in Time Start at the Yu Garden, a stunning Ming Dynasty retreat filled with tranquil ponds, stone bridges, and classic Chinese pavilions. Stroll through Yuyuan Bazaar for some of Shanghai’s best street food—don’t miss the Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings)! 🥢🥟 🌉 The Bund – Shanghai’s Iconic Waterfront Walk along The Bund, where you’ll see Shanghai’s most legendary skyline views. The mix of European-style colonial buildings on one side and ultramodern skyscrapers across the river is truly stunning! 📸✨ 🏙️ Lujiazui – The Future of Shanghai Take a quick ferry or subway ride across the Huangpu River to Lujiazui, Shanghai’s financial district. Head to: ✔ Shanghai Tower – China’s tallest building for sky-high views 🌆 ✔ Jin Mao Tower – A pagoda-inspired skyscraper 🏯 ✔ Oriental Pearl Tower – The most futuristic of them all 🪐 🚄 Transit Pro Tips ✔ Use Metro Line 2 for easy access. 🚇 ✔ If time is tight, grab a taxi or Didi (China’s Uber). 🚕 ✔ Evening layover? The Bund’s skyline lights up beautifully after sunset! ✨ A Shanghai layover has never been this exciting—ancient gardens, legendary river views, and sky-high adventures all in one quick trip! 🚀
