The perfect gourmet spot for a solo female traveler in Shanghai! Here are some recommended spots where you can eat crispy and juicy baked xiaolongbao! ⭐️【Dahu Chun Shengjian】Review When you go to Shanghai, you want to eat baked xiaolongbao! The baked xiaolongbao here are particularly famous, and there are many branches in the city. This branch is particularly popular with tourists because of its easy access. You order and pay at the register first, and then receive your product. I got a 3-kind mix of 6 pieces, which was a bargain at 30.5 yuan. That's about 640 yen in Japanese yen. The baked xiaolongbao was freshly made and crispy on the outside. The dough was plump and the filling inside was hot and juicy. I was full after eating alone. The crab baked xiaolongbao didn't taste much like crab, but the baked xiaolongbao with shrimp was delicious! The inside of the store is not large and there are many customers, so it's not a place where you can relax, but rather you eat quickly and leave. I paid with Alipay. ⭐️Address China 7, Huangpu, 临十狮楼CN Shanghai Municipal Government Office: 200010 #Gourmet Summary

Keep this nanny-level guide to avoid the crowds and experience something new~ 🌟 Pre-trip preparation: Spring clothes + lightweight is the key The temperature difference in Shanghai in April is large (10°C-22°C), so layering is the most practical! Bring a windbreaker + thin knitwear to take off when it's hot and put on when it's cold. Choose sneakers or loafers for your shoes, and you can walk 20,000 steps a day without pressure~ ⚠️ Key point: A dual-use umbrella is a must! It rains when you least expect it in Shanghai, and it can also be used as a photo prop. Pack small items such as a power bank, folding shopping bag, and wet wipes in your bag, they will be super useful at critical moments! 🚇 Route planning: Easy to check in even if you walk a lot 1. Xuhui Riverside Cherry Blossom Avenue (limited from March 20 to April 17) Ride a shared bike to chase cherry blossoms! Pass by the Tank Shanghai Art Center to take ins-style blockbusters, visit the Long Museum to see the 3,000-year civilization exhibition, and finally have a cup of limited-edition coffee at the Starbucks Snoopy pop-up store☕️, your girlish heart will burst! 2. Wukang Road Citywalk (free route) From the bow balcony to Ba Jin's Former Residence, there is a Republican style all the way. It is recommended to go to "Joe Coffee" terrace to see the three-piece set, and order a dirty coffee at "Old Mack Cafe" in the evening. The retro green window is super photogenic! 3. New ways to tour the Bund at night Don't just squeeze by the river! Try the "Bund Sightseeing Bus" (unlimited rides for 24 hours), listen to the commentary with headphones, and get off to take photos of the Peace Hotel and Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Take the 2-yuan ferry across the river at night to watch the light show, it's super healing 🌉 4. Yu Garden + Tianzifang (a collision of classical and artistic styles) Visit Yu Garden in the morning to see koi, and eat crab roe xiaolongbao at Green Wave Gallery at noon. In the afternoon, go into the alleys of Tianzifang, shop for handmade earrings, and hang out at the "Duoshizhiqiu" cafe to pet cats and relax~ 5.

There are many people at the Long Museum and Yu Garden on weekends, so it is recommended to stagger the peak hours. 3. Bring stomach medicine!

**Yuyuan (豫园)** in Shanghai is a really popular tourist attraction, so it's crowded and crowded! To get the best shots in a place like this, you need some tips. Here are some great tips! 📸✨ 1. Go early in the morning! ⏰ • If you go to Yuyuan early in the morning, there are relatively fewer people, so you can take pictures leisurely! Especially between 7 and 8 AM, there are fewer people and the sunlight is soft, so you can get really great pictures. 2. Find a pretty background! 🏯 • Yuyuan has many traditional Chinese gardens and old-fashioned buildings. Among them, if you take a picture with the buildings reflected in the water or the trees in the garden, you'll get a great shot! 🌳💧 • If you take a picture on a bridge or in front of a pond, you can make a really great background. 3. Use poses and accessories! 💃🕺 • If you want to capture the traditional atmosphere of Shanghai, it's also good to use traditional Chinese clothing or accessories! (e.g. folding screens or red objects) • It may be a bit artificial, but if you keep the traditional feel, it goes well with the unique atmosphere of the garden. 4. Avoid crowded times! 🚶♂️🚶♀️ • **Lunch time (12:00~2:00)** or **Dinner time (5:00~7:00)** are especially crowded. It's better to avoid these times because you can see everyone's faces when taking pictures. If you take pictures in a corner or a place that's not easily visible, you can create a quiet feeling! 5. Altitude adjustment! 🎯 • There are various elevation differences in the garden, so if you take pictures from a high place, you can capture a wide background without people being visible. If you take pictures from a low place like a Minion, you can get more fun pictures! 6. Use Live Photos Try it simply with Live Photo, or • Use an app like Slow Shutter Cam to set the exposure for a long time to create an effect where only the people behind you are shaking! ⸻ Tips for taking a great picture in Yewon, if you remember just this much, you'll be able to take really great pictures! Even if there are a lot of people, if you choose the right time and place, you'll be able to take the best pictures of anyone else! 🎉📸 #ChinaTravelMoment #Yewon #YewonStrawDumplings #TravelPlan #Shanghai #YewonRecommendation #ShanghaiHotPlaces #ShanghaiThingsToSee #ShanghaiPlacesToVisit #ShanghaiTravel #2024WishEvent #Yewon

There's no need to spend money on a Huangpu River cruise. My mother said this was the best deal in Shanghai. The Bund's night view is beautiful, so it's recommended to visit after Nanjing Road. Day 2: Yu Garden (4A)—City God Temple—Site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China (5A)—Jing'an Temple Yu Garden is a private garden built by Pan Yunduan, who once served as the governor of Sichuan. It is much smaller than the Humble Administrator's Garden and Tiger Hill in Suzhou. The City God Temple is a Taoist temple right next to the exit of Yu Garden. The Site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China is also a 5A scenic spot. Those interested in history can come and experience the place where the most important meeting in the history of the Communist Party of China was held in such a small room. It truly is a spark that can start a prairie fire. Jing'an Temple is a temple located in the bustling downtown area. Its roof is entirely covered with golden tiles, which is quite unique. Food: For breakfast, we recommend Shanghai's specialty snacks, such as pan-fried buns and duck blood vermicelli soup from Xiao Yang Sheng Jian. The pan-fried buns are filled with flavorful soup and have a delicious taste. For lunch, we recommend Hua Fu (Lujiazui Center Branch). The tableware, presentation, and taste are all top-notch. The restaurants on Nanjing Road and the Bund are more expensive. Accommodation: We recommend the Jinling Purple Mountain Hotel Shanghai. It's a five-star hotel located near the subway Line 2 in Lujiazui, close to Shanghai Tower. It offers a pleasant environment at a reasonable price.

Two of us could only take one day off, so we went on a 2-night, 3-day trip from Saturday to Monday. Here’s our travel itinerary. ❤️Day 1❤️ 1️⃣ Dim Sum Lunch at DimDouDum We took a 9 AM flight from Incheon to Shanghai, arriving just in time for lunch. We had dim sum at DimDouDum in Xintiandi. 2️⃣ Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea A must-visit historical site for Koreans! The entrance fee is 20 yuan. 3️⃣ Xintiandi Shopping Right next to the Provisional Government site is a famous shopping street. I bought cosmetics at Harmay. 4️⃣ Tianzifang A famous area with various shops in small alleys. Great for buying souvenirs. I bought tea at Blend Bunny, and my companion bought magnets at the shop next door. 5️⃣ Yuyuan Garden When we visited in January, it was festival season, so we had to buy a ticket to enter. Instead, there was a large night market outside. 6️⃣ Nanjing Road East A must-visit in Shanghai! We walked from Nanjing Road East Station to the Bund, enjoying the sights. 7️⃣ The Bund The iconic night view of Shanghai. The view of Nanjing Road East in front and European-style buildings behind is beautiful. 8️⃣ Crab Noodle Soup for Dinner The restaurant we originally planned to visit had a long wait, so we went to a local restaurant that seemed popular. We had crab noodle soup. 9️⃣ Getting a Manicure Nail art is almost half the price in China compared to Korea. If you like nail art, I recommend getting it done while traveling. I made a reservation in Korea and got gel removal and magnetic gel nails for 139 yuan. ❤️Day 2❤️ 1️⃣ Starbucks Reserve Roastery We had booked a day tour to a water town, so we had to be at People’s Square Station by 11:50 AM. After breakfast at the hotel, we had coffee at Starbucks, which is just one subway stop away. 2️⃣ Fengjing Ancient Town There are several water towns near Shanghai. We went to Fengjing Ancient Town. It opened in 2023, so it’s clean and not crowded. Great for photos. Recently, many people have been getting Wanghong makeup and wearing Hanfu for photos at Yuyuan Garden, and you can do the same here for a much cheaper price. You need to book in advance, so if you’re interested, make a reservation. 3️⃣ Late Dinner at Haidilao Hot Pot The tour ends back at People’s Square Station. We had a late dinner at Haidilao nearby. ❤️Day 3❤️ We had breakfast and headed to the airport for our 12 PM flight. We arrived in Incheon a little after 3 PM.

📍Trip Overview A little trip around Shanghai city, with Disney as the main focus 🚩Route Day 1 Airport → Yuyuan → City → Hotel Day 2 Disney Day 3 Disney Day 4 Hotel → Airport I took a taxi from the airport and a shuttle bus between the hotel and Disney. 🏖️Photogenic Spots ①Everything in Yuyuan is a photogenic spot! It's like a theme park, and it costs about 80 RMB to enter. Even if you don't go inside, there are a few stalls, so you can still get a feel for the atmosphere. ②Disney The Zootopia area is impressive, with detailed design down to the last detail! I also recommend the greetings. 🚇Transportation Most hotels have free buses between Disney and the hotel. Otherwise, I recommend taking a taxi. You need Alipay to get on the subway, and the transfer information doesn't appear on Google Maps, so I gave up. 🍜Exquisite Food You can enjoy Xiaolongbao at a restaurant in Yuyuan. 🏠 Recommended accommodation We stayed at Courtyard by Marriott. It cost about 4,500 yen per night for three people without meals. The room was quite spacious and clean. It's only a 5-minute bus ride to Disney. 💡Notes ・I didn't download Alipay, so I had a lot of trouble with various bills😢 ・There are many taxi touts at the airport, but they are all rip-offs. However, you can get a nice car, they will take you to recommended spots, and they are flexible, so it's a good idea to use them if you are planning to buy time with money!

#travelinginchina Discover the beauty of Yu Gardens, a tranquil oasis nestled in the heart of bustling Shanghai. Steeped in history, this stunning classical garden dates back to the Ming Dynasty and is a masterpiece of Chinese landscape architecture. From the intricate rockeries to the serene ponds, every corner of Yu Gardens is a picture waiting to be captured. Walking through the lush paths, I felt like stepping back in time - the peaceful ambiance and traditional pavilions took me on a journey through Chinese culture. One of the highlights was the exquisite Exquisite Jade Rock, a natural formation so beautiful, it’s considered a treasure. If you are ever in Shanghai, a visit to Yu Gardens is a must! It’s a perfect escape from the city’s fast pace, offering a rare glimpse into China’s rich cultural heritage. #yugarden #shanghai #explorechina #travelinspiration

I ate a lot while watching the day show and the parade 😋😋 At night, I had time until the ILLUMINATE castle show, so I went to see Mickey 💕 The night show was really moving. On the way back, I realized that I had left my luggage in a locker in the park due to an unexpected emergency 🚨 It was already 10pm at this point... I asked the security guards and they told me to come tomorrow I reluctantly went to the hotel 🏨 Day 3 I left for Disney early in the morning to pick up my luggage! I took the shuttle bus to the park 🚌 I'm glad it was there safely 💕 I decided not to use the lockers in the park anymore lol Since I had time before my flight I went shopping and had lunch at Disney Town No matter where I ate, the Chinese food was too delicious!

Shanghai trip that I booked right away as soon as my Chinese visa was released I went alone, so I was worried and worried before going, but Shanghai is a travel choice that I absolutely! have no worries or regrets about🇨🇳 I went alone for 3 nights and 4 days and saw everything that Shanghai is famous for, including the Bund, Nanjing East Road, Oriental Pearl Tower, Yuyuan, and Disney!! Also, I went alone, but I didn't have this opportunity so I rented a costume at Yuyuan and enjoyed the fairy experience🥰 🧳3 nights and 4 days travel schedule🧳 📍Day01 Airport → Check-in to accommodation → Nanjing East Road → Dinner → Huangpu River Cruise → Bund night view → Accommodation * I couldn't go on the Huangpu River Cruise because of the heavy snow on the first day, but if you have time, this is a recommended experience! 📍Day02 Accommodation → Wukanglu + Wukang Mansion → Lunch → Xintiandi + Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea → Yewon → Yewon Costume Rental Snap Photo Experience → Waitan → Dinner The second day was the busiest day of the year. If you go to Wukang Mansion in the morning, there will be fewer people, so it's great for taking pictures!! Also, when moving from Wukanglu to Xintiandi, instead of taking a taxi or subway, try using a 🚲shared bicycle🚲!! There's only a straight path, so it's so convenient and great to ride a bicycle and enjoy the Shanghai air~ It's like Korea's Ddareungi, so I recommend riding a bicycle☺️☺️ The highlight of the second day was experiencing the fairy costume + snapshot photo experience at Yewon. I went alone, so I wanted to take pretty pictures, so I made a reservation in advance! (You can go on the day without a reservation and ask for the experience!) The staff was so kind, and they asked me what style I wanted, showed me a draft, and made it pretty! I'm crazy about Chinese dramas, so I asked them to do it while showing me the photos I wanted, and they did it so well! The photographers even showed me poses for the snapshots and said they'd take more photos if I wanted to!! In addition, they even used various props to take the photos, so it was one of the most fun experiences!! If you have time, it's also fun to experience being a fairy at Yewon, so try it out!🤭🤭 📍Day 03 Accommodation → Oriental Pearl Tower → Lunch → Disneyland → Accommodation The third day was Disneyland Day!! Actually, when I went to Hong Kong, I rode all the rides I wanted at Disneyland, so my goal for Shanghai Disneyland was Zootopia, Tron, and the parade, so I didn't do the open run and went leisurely around 2 o'clock! So I looked around Oriental Pearl Tower in the morning, went to a nearby shopping mall to shop, ate, and left my luggage at the accommodation and headed to Disney~ When I visited Disney, it was Christmas season + the weekend, so there were really a lot of people!! But I didn't have to wait separately to enter Disney or Zootopia! I think I waited about an hour and a half for the rides on the weekends! I also went alone, so I got stuck in the single ride line and went into Zootopia after waiting for 30 minutes ✌️✌️ I also waited for about an hour and a half to ride Tron, and I think I waited less than 40 minutes for the other rides!! I also saw the Disney highlights, the illumination and fireworks, and went back to my lodging! To be honest, I think the illuminations I saw in Hong Kong were more spectacular. In Shanghai, everyone was there 2 hours before the illuminations, so I couldn't see them properly, which was a bit disappointing. 🥹 📍Day 04 Check-out → Tarunpa shopping → Airport → Korea On the last day, I did a quick Tarunpa shopping. There were a lot of snacks I wanted to take back to Korea, so I filled my suitcase with everything from Lay's potato chips to Oreos and headed to the airport👍 I took the Maghreb train to the airport. It only takes 7 minutes to get to the airport, so ride the Maghreb train!!! 💛 This was my 3 nights and 4 days in Shanghai, which were both fulfilling and leisurely!! I want to write more about the restaurants and experiences, but if I get the chance, I'll write about them in a new post! Don't be afraid of traveling alone in Shanghai. Just go. It was such a great trip that I want to go again.🥹🥹 #January travel subsidy event #February travel subsidy event #Shanghai #上海#shanghai #China travel #Overseas travel #trip
