Strolling Through Timeless Beauty: Yu Garden & Yuyuan Road Historical District 🌟🏮 Ready to wander where centuries-old charm meets modern buzz? Yu Garden in Shanghai is a swoon-worthy maze of pavilions, koi ponds, and stone bridges—each turn revealing classic Chinese elegance. At night, the entrance plaque of Yuyuan Shopping Mall sparkles, its traditional architecture glowing against the city’s vibrant bustle—a perfect outdoor cultural landscape for close-up shots! Begin your visit at the north entrance on Huxin Pavilion Jiuqu Bridge. Take photos among zig-zag bridge. Don’t miss a snapshot of the glowing entrance at night, with layered roofs and red lanterns for an insta-famous vibe. Must-dos: Try a cup of osmanthus tea at the teahouse overlooking koi-filled ponds, and sample Xiaolongbao at nearby food stalls. Next, stroll down Yuyuan Road Historical and Cultural District, stretching from No. 1575 Wanhangdu Road to Lane 1032 Yuyuan Road. Open all day, this area blends old Shanghai villas, quirky boutiques, and art cafés. Best photo angles: Snap close-ups of Art Deco facades and leafy lanes—especially around sunset for that nostalgic glow. If you travel on to Nanjing, add Yuyuan Garden (Mingyang Street, Qinhuai District) to your list—open till 5:30 PM, just ¥18 admission. This quieter counterpart is less crowded, so you’ll capture peaceful reflective pools and classic corridors without photobombers. Top tip: Comfortable shoes are a must—the stone paths are centuries old, and exploring every twist is half the fun! At night, soaking up the illuminated shopping mall plaque is a magical way to wrap your journey. #Shanghai #YuGarden #HistoricalDistrict #NightViews #ChineseArchitecture

This trip to Shanghai mainly focused on activities in the city center, and wanted to stay more comfortable and convenient to popular attractions, finally chose the Shanghai Outer Bund Smart Choice Hotel. It is located at 388 Renmin Road, a few minutes walk to the Outer Banks, Yuyuan, Chenghuang Temple and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. The biggest selling point of the hotel is that it is new and smart: the rooms have voice systems and smart curtains, are reasonably designed, soundproofed, and stay very quiet and suitable for resting. The bathroom adopts dry and wet separation. In some room types, you can also watch the city night view while taking a bath, which is perfect for taking pictures! Families must try the parent-child room, which features a slide, tree house and ocean ball, the kids play until they don’t want to leave, and a dedicated butler will explain the facilities and teach you what’s nearby. When it comes to food, we can't help but praise the hotel's breakfast: Chinese and Western styles to choose from, taste good and full of ingredients, go downstairs to eat breakfast immediately set off for a day. The restaurant has a beautiful environment, the view outside the window is open, children's cutlery and special design are courteous enough. There are many choices of restaurants and convenience stores nearby, so you don't have to worry about running out of food in the middle of the night. The happiest thing about staying at this hotel is that the service is particularly personable. The front desk is professional and courteous, check-in and check-out are fast and easy, and take the initiative to share the surrounding check-in information with you; the parent-child room service has a dedicated butler to solve all the family travel worries. Great value for money, especially during tourist holidays, not afraid of attractions too many people can walk back and rest, worth getting. Transportation is even more convenient, there is already a subway station nearby, it is not difficult to get back to the airport or to Disney, it is easy to take a taxi or subway. Itinerary Tips: Most popular attractions in Shanghai can be reached by walking or short distance by subway. Booking tips: Holiday Inn Express in the Outer Banks is safest to book in advance during the peak season. There is a lot of demand for parent-child rooms, so it is recommended to book in advance; remember to check-in in advance when you encounter a travel festival. Shanghai is clean and modern, but sometimes you have to bring an umbrella in light rain; the city center is busy with traffic, so remember to allow more time. #ShanghaiHotelRecommendation #Outbank Stay #FamilyExperience #SmartHotelLife #Popular AttractionsOneMinto #
