What can you see on a night cruise? **Scenic Views**: Enjoy breathtaking views of Shanghai's illuminated skyline, including iconic landmarks such as the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower, Jin Mao Tower, and the World Financial Center. The contrast between the historic buildings of the Bund and the modern skyscrapers of Lujiazui is particularly striking at night. **Bund Sightseeing**: One of the cruise highlights is the view of the Bund, a historic waterfront area lined with beautifully lit colonial-era buildings. The Bund represents Shanghai's rich history and its significance as a major international port in the early 20th century. **Light Shows**: Buildings on both sides of the river often feature light shows, adding a dynamic and colorful element to the cruise.

Overall, a night cruise on the Huangpu River is a must-do activity in Shanghai, offering a unique perspective on the city's beauty and a memorable experience for visitors. . #shanghai #丹生炊事 #cruise

Shanghai is really a scene that appears in many TV dramas. Because of its favorable geographical location and developed docks, there have been different stories here over the years. As a city with prosperous commerce and trade, its beauty is closely related to this river. So I decided to get on the boat and explore its charm through the waterway. Pujiang Dragon Boat, four hours of mooring + four hours of sailing, including an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner, costs 328 RMB per person. Using the online group purchase, it costs 268 per person, and no other fees are charged. After purchasing the ticket, you will check in at the pier and staff will guide you onto the boat. The boat docked at the pier is really dazzling, with a huge dragon head and lights that change every minute. It can be said to be the most beautiful boat in the entire pier. Once on board, you can go directly to the first floor to dine. The chef stands in the restaurant and observes and prepares the dishes at any time. The menu changes every month and is posted on the official website, so you can see all the food for dinner before buying your ticket. I was very interested in the seafood at first, because I thought it was a cruise ship and the seafood should be fresh, but I was a little disappointed. The taste was stronger in frozen food, which was not bad, but I was a little disappointed that it was not freshly cooked. However, there are many seafood items, and the crabs are all presented whole, with sufficient portions. There are also some oysters, which shows that the portion sizes of the ingredients are very generous. Unexpectedly, their vegetables were very fresh and crisp. I ate more vegetables than seafood. As for the appetizers, I could taste the chef's care. I would give the seafood and meat a passing grade, the vegetables an excellent grade, and the desserts also an excellent grade. However, I was quite disappointed with the drinks. They felt like the kind of drinks you would find in a normal snack bar, which was not to my taste. However, I will make a special record of this trip. Meals are only secondary. The most important thing is the night tour of Shanghai! The tourists had about two hours to have their meals, and when the official voyage began, a voice commentary began to be played, telling the historical story of the Pujiang River and the commemorative century of the wharf. When crossing the Yangpu Bridge, the boat even stopped to tell tourists how to take the best photos. Shanghai has many beautiful architectural structures. The Pearl of the Orient alone is world-famous. I went to the top of the tower once, but it was too high and I couldn't take any beautiful photos. On the boat, there was no obstruction at all, so I could take whatever photos I wanted. Just shoot it how you want. You can go up to any floor of the ship, and some rooms require a small fee. There is a coffee area on the top deck, where you can sit down after ordering a cup of coffee, and you will also receive a small gift. The cost seems to be 50 RMB (my memory is a bit fuzzy, the price may have changed). But having just eaten and drunk my fill, I didn’t want to spend any more money to go upstairs. There were some places on the deck that were free, and I could still stand there and enjoy the evening breeze. Enjoy the view. The height of the boat is just right, not as high as the Pearl of the Orient nor as low as the ground. You can see all the popular scenic spots in Shanghai one by one, and you can also see the attractions that you are too lazy to visit in the hot morning. The boat sailed steadily. I usually get seasick, but on this voyage, I didn't feel any discomfort at all. Accompanied by beautiful clear music and charming high-quality voice (I have heard many tourist attractions where the voice recordings are haphazard, with a lot of noise and I can't understand what is being said at all), the whole night is really very comfortable. There are many LED designs in commercial buildings, and slogans such as "Shanghai Welcomes You" will appear at any time. It feels like passing through a futuristic place. It is so close to you and so clear that every photo you take will be a beauty photo for internet celebrities. Here is a reminder for passengers who are dining, try to eat hard in the first two hours, and don’t think about going to the restaurant when you are hungry. That’s what I thought when I went to the deck to enjoy the beautiful scenery. When I got back, the restaurant was already closed! (blood loss) As for the food, I don't think it's worth spending 268 just on this meal, because although it is rich, the quality is ordinary and not extremely delicious. But I would still recommend everyone to come, because the price includes the river cruise. The beautiful night view and professional introduction alone are worth more than 268. Just think of it as a free gift with dinner. I feel it is worth the money.

We visited in the fall, so it was a little chilly. The views are stunning, especially at night. The trip lasted for 45 minutes. We went with our children, and for them, it was a little boring as they couldn't move around because we had to keep holding their hands as the boat is not really safe for busy toddlers. The dock also changed locations, and we got on the wrong boat. Fortunately, there was a guy that took us to the correct docking station, which was a few hundred meters from the original docking station. Additionally, the cruise goes out every hour, and keep in mind to bring your own drinks and snacks. I recommend you do it at nigh because during the day without the lights I will find it to be boring. #mytripvlog

Yu Yuan Gardens 豫园： 
Will recommend this classical garden to anyone who appreciates heritage architecture! This garden felt more like an open air museum with different artifacts in different heritage houses! If you are someone who might not appreciate these heritages, will recommend you to skip this one out and head to the breakfast spots and walking streets nearby the area! 
🚇: Yu Yuan Gardens 
Took Line 10 from Nanjing East Road > Yu Yuan Gardens. Upon alighting it was about a 10 mins leisure stroll to Yu Yuan Gardens itself!
🎟️: tickets can be found in Klook! However we decided to purchase at the ticketing counter on that day itself. Tickets are about SGD 22-27! 
!!!! Will recommend to go in the morning as there are lesser crowds! Even though is winter when I went but there is still some Sun in the afternoons! 
______________________ 
Once we exited Yu Yuan, we managed to find the popular 大汤包 along the streets. 
Lunch was settled there as well as it was a shopping complex with many traditional handicrafts and teas 🍵
if you are still up for some sight seeing, there are directions that leads to 城隍庙 (Cheng Huang Miao)!! In which I skipped it. 
______________________
Duo Yun Bookstore 
🚕: we took a didi to the location: 
52/F, Shanghai Tower, Pudong New Area
🚇: Lujiazui (Lines 2 and 14)
The bookstore is located at the 52nd floor of the building! It encompasses of a bookstore and stationary store (mostly mandarin books). The cafe offers a 💯 view of the Shanghai Skyline. << do note that the viewing gallery is in the cafe itself!! It is a must to purchase a drink from the cafe before entering! #shanghai #couplestrip #travel #naturalwonders #china #myitinerary

Hopping onto days 3 and 6 becauseee based on my itinerary, it’s more free and easy days! Days 4 and 5 consist of a Day Trip to Suzhou and Disneyland in my later postssss 😬 
🚇: Xintiandi Station (Line 10/13, Exit 6) 
First Stop, we headed to 新天地. It is known for its Shikumen architecture and there are various restaurants and shops nestles within these houses. I will say the $$$ is comparable to the streets of Orchard. 
We spent about 2 hours here inclusive of lunch! There is an another small street called 田子坊 if yall will like to explore. 
Tianzifang 
We then took a didi to Shanghai Starbucks Reserve. 
Starbucks Reserve Roastery 星巴克臻选上海烘焙工坊 
This was tbh more like a tea break stop for us as it is about 15 mins stroll to our hotel. What’s unique about this Starbucks is that there is an entire roastery within the shop itself. 
I will say do drop by if u are into collecting merchandises from Starbucks as this Starbucks have tumblrs and Cups that are unique to Shanghai Only!! 
_________________
🚇: Jiaotong University Station (Lines 10/11, Exit 7) 
Wu Kang Lu 
武康路 is known for its European style buildings. Walking through the streets of towards Wukang building is peaceful and serene. We made a few pit stops near by to admire the architecture of some cafes and small shops! There are many vintage clothing stalls as well as shops selling handicrafts. 
Will recommend if you love Leisure strolls and appreciate handicrafts and vintage items! #familytravel #china #thingstodo #travel #afternoonteatime #shanghai

🚇: Disney Resort (Line 11) 
DISSSSNEYYLANDDDDD 🎉🎉🎉
Shanghai Disneyland Resort 
My family chose to take a didi to Disney land instead of public commute, even so from our hotel at Nanjing East Road, it takes about 45 mins via a car ride! 
🚩🚩: there are many locals that shoved raincoats in my face when I alighted from the didi! Do be careful of these!! However, there will be heavy police presence around the designated drop off!!
I will say the park IS A 💯 WORTH TO GOO!! I went during opening hours and I didn’t even get to finish the rides in the entire park!!! It’s definitely larger than HongKong Disneyland!! 
It’s really family friendly as well, as I have noticed from the park map that all the kids and family rides are station near the castle/ main entrance of the park , whereas coasters and more thrill ride are located a little further from the main entrance !! 
—————————-
One thing unique about Shanghai Disneyland is that, nearer to the 2nd entrance where all the thrill coasters are, there is a Disney Town!! Do take note that you will have to exit the entrance and get a re-entry stamp!!
My family and I did a little exploration and went into Disney Town, there are many more food options with different cuisines eg. the Cheesecake factory! 
There’s also a MEGA SOUVENIR store at the end of Disney Town for you to get unique souvenirs! ✨
———————— 
‼️‼️: do note that if you are planning to grab a didi back to your hotel from the pick up point, the pick up point will close at 8pm sharp!!! It will then re-direct the drivers to a further pick up point!! Also, we were warned that drivers might ask us to pay 10CNY for entry fee to pick us up, however seeing that we were tourist, our driver asked us for 20 CNY!!!! We only found out it was only supposed to be 10 CNY from our hotel staff. 
Secondly: while trying to get a didi back to the hotel, there will be random drivers approaching you to quote you a ride back. BEWARE!!! As these drivers do not belong to didi or any taxi company within China!!! We were approached by one and he quoted us slightly cheaper than what didi has quoted, but we did not go ahead as there was a security that was standing beside us while he was trying to negotiate !! Security then directed us to the didi pick up! 
Will say it’s worth to go to 🏰 but do be careful of these drivers/scammers that will lurk near entrances !! #citydaytours #travel #china #couplestrip #thingstodo #familytravel #china

This was day 4 of my Shanghai Trip! We decided to do a day trip out to Suzhou after seeing 小红书. Here are the places we planned to visit: 
1. Humble Administrator Gardens 拙政园✅
2. Lingering Gardens 
3. Suzhou Museum 
4. Shan Tang Street 山塘街. ✅
BUTTTTTTTTT we honestly underestimated the size of 拙政园 itself and it took us longer than expected, hence we only managed to go to the ✅ above. 
________________________________
Shanghai Railway Station 
🚇: Shanghai Railway Station. Took a HSR to Suzhou Railway station (25-30mins ~). Tickets were booked via trip.com for about SGD 8~ per pax. 
Do note that Shanghai itself has 3 railway stations, we chose the main one as it was the closest to our hotel 
🎟️: Humble Administrator Garden: SGD15 
Do take note they have different timings of entry! 
Humble Administrator's Garden 
拙政园 is a UNESCO world heritage site. The garden itself has a very rustic feel to it with the different heritage buildings, ponds and architecture we see along the way. We spent a total of close to 2-3 HOURRRRRS in this garden itself as the compound is every huge!!! Definitely worth going to 📸
—————————————————
Shan Tang Jie 
We took a didi to 山塘街. Honestly felt this tourist street was a little overrated , and time wasn’t on our side. BUTTT I will say to still give it a try as there are quite a few activities to do! There is a boat ride where tourists can take around the village, as well as many street foods along the riverside! 
It was more of a dinner stop for us before heading back to Shanghai! Nonetheless, as someone who appreciates olden China architecture; I do appreciate the opportunities I have there to explore and try local cuisines! #Tehotravels #china #shanghai #suzhou #travel #thingstodo #citydaytours

Travelling around Shanghai 🇨🇳is very convenient as the city itself has 18 metro lines! 
🏠: We booked a hotel that is just a 3 mins walk from Nanjing East Station (Lines 2 and 10). 
We shortlisted this hotel due to the convenience of walking to the main attractions such as The Bund, 外滩.
The hotel is also located right next to 南京路。
Metro lines 2 and 10 are where most of the major tourist attractions are, hence it’s convenient to travel between these places! 
🍔: not much food recommendations from me as my family and I mostly eat as we walked along 南京路. It is comparable to Singapore’s Somerset vibes as we walked along the street, with many food options available!
✅： I booked a River Cruise (45mins -1 hour) that takes you across the Shanghai Huangpu River. Pre-booked the tickets though Klook. However there were MANYYY agencies that were selling river tickets as well. Do take note that some are selling for a short cruise ride (10mins). 
Will definitely recommend to go for the full experience of the 45 minute ride to enjoy the night scenery with the lights lighted across The Bund!#travel #china #shanghai #

#travelinginchina The Huangpu River flows through the heart of city & divides Shanghai in older Puxi & newer Pudong area. River at near The Bund was popular tourist destination in Shanghai. East side was Pudong with modern high-rise skyscrapers along with iconic Pearl tower & 600-meter-high Shanghai tower whereas Lights turn on at 6pm during winter. Also a good place for night photography.

Gliding along the Huangpu River at night, Shanghai’s skyline dazzles in neon brilliance. The Bund’s colonial facades glow on one side, while Pudong’s skyscrapers, led by the Shanghai Tower, pierce the night sky.

Shanghai, an international metropolis where modernity and history blend together, attracts countless tourists with its unique charm. I had the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of Shanghai's diverse culture, modern style and long historical relics during a three-day and two-night trip. From the bustling Bund to the ancient Yu Garden, from the modern Lujiazui financial district to the tranquil Tianzifang, every corner of Shanghai made me feel the unique temperament of this city. Day 1: Classic Tour of the Bund and Nanjing Road On the first day I arrived in Shanghai, I chose to start my tour from the most representative Bund. The unique charm of the Bund made me feel the strong historical atmosphere as soon as I set foot on this land. The Bund's buildings combine Chinese and Western architectural styles and are known as the "International Architecture Expo". From here you can see the historical changes of Shanghai, including the ancient British Consulate and modern skyscrapers. Especially the scenery on both sides of the Huangpu River, which seemed to take me through a hundred years and show the elegance of Shanghai as the Pearl of the Orient. While strolling leisurely on the Bund, I couldn't help but be attracted by the scenery along the river, especially at dusk, when the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the river, the lights of the buildings gradually lit up, and the scenery of the Bund instantly became dazzling. At this time, the cruise ships on the Bund also started to set sail. I decided to take a cruise ship, tour along the Huangpu River, and experience the unique charm of Shanghai. Looking from the boat, the lights on both sides of the river are brilliant and the night view is as beautiful as a dream. After visiting the Bund, I came to Nanjing East Road. This street, known as Shanghai's "shopping paradise", has a variety of shopping malls, brand stores and department stores. I particularly like the strong commercial atmosphere here, the busy streets and colorful billboards are dazzling. Walking on Nanjing Road, you can enjoy the fast pace of a modern city while feeling the accumulation of history. Day 2: Cultural Tour of Lujiazui and Yu Garden On the second day, I chose to visit Lujiazui Financial District, a modern landmark of Shanghai. The Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, Jinmao Tower and other skyscrapers here are the symbols of Shanghai. I first went up to the observation deck of the Oriental Pearl Tower. Standing on the top of the tower, I had a panoramic view of Shanghai. Shanghai's skyscrapers are like shining pearls, outlining the city's prosperity and modern atmosphere. Looking down from this high altitude, the entire city appears orderly, with bustling commercial areas and quiet residential areas intertwined, showing the unique charm of Shanghai as a global city. Next, I went to Yu Garden, a traditional cultural landmark in Shanghai. Yu Garden is a typical Jiangnan garden, famous for its exquisite garden landscape and profound cultural heritage. The winding paths, ponds, bridges, rockery and waterside pavilions in the garden are all full of the charm of traditional Chinese gardens. Walking into Yu Garden, I felt as if I had traveled back to an ancient garden, and the air was filled with ancient fragrance. The shops around Yu Garden are also filled with a strong traditional cultural atmosphere, with a wide variety of special snacks and handicrafts, attracting many tourists to stop. I tried the famous Nanxiang Xiaolongbao, which was delicious and had rich soup. It is one of the delicacies you cannot miss in Shanghai. In the evening, I strolled along the old street near Yu Garden and felt the perfect fusion of Shanghai's traditional culture and modern atmosphere. The streets of the Old Street are lined with ancient buildings and traditional shops, while the street lanterns and red lanterns add a warm atmosphere to this ancient area. Walking here, it feels like going back in time to Shanghai at the beginning of the last century. Day 3: Art experience in Tianzifang and Shanghai Museum My third day itinerary focused more on experiencing the art and culture of Shanghai. First, I went to Tianzifang, an art district located in the French Concession in Shanghai. Tianzifang was originally an old Shikumen residential area. After transformation, it was transformed into a small creative park integrating art, handicrafts, catering and fashion. The streets here are narrow and winding, with colorful graffiti hanging on the walls, full of creativity and vitality. Each shop has a unique style. Some sell handicrafts, some offer authentic Shanghai snacks, and some are uniquely designed cafes and bars. I wandered around Tianzifang for a few hours, admiring the art exhibitions and tasting Shanghai-style snacks. I felt like I had become part of this artistic community. In the afternoon, I visited the Shanghai Museum. This museum is one of the most important museums in China. Its collection is very rich, covering various artworks such as ancient Chinese bronzes, ceramics, paintings, calligraphy, etc. I particularly like the museum's bronze and ancient porcelain exhibition areas, which are exquisite and showcase the outstanding achievements of ancient Chinese craftsmanship. Here, I not only appreciated the superb artistic skills, but also learned about the profound heritage of China's 5,000-year-old culture. Travel summary and suggestions Through the three-day and two-night trip, I have a deeper understanding of the city of Shanghai. Shanghai is a city that blends modernity and tradition. It has a shining modern skyline and retains many historical and cultural sites, allowing people to feel the passage of time and the accumulation of years. Whether it is the scenery of the Bund, the ancient charm of Yu Garden, or the artistic atmosphere of Tianzifang, this city is full of charm. I have a few suggestions for those who are planning to travel to Shanghai: First, try to avoid the peak holiday season, especially the Bund and Nanjing Road when there are a lot of tourists. It is best to go in the morning or evening to avoid the peak crowds. Secondly, Shanghai's transportation is very convenient and the subway has extensive coverage. It is recommended to purchase a transportation card for convenient travel. Finally, Shanghai has a wide variety of food, including not only traditional Shanghai cuisine, but also food from all over the world. You can try different local specialties during your trip, and you will definitely not be disappointed. In general, Shanghai is a city full of vitality and charm. Whether you are a history lover, a culture and art fan, or a follower of modern cities, you can find what you like here.
