Exploring Beijing and Shanghai? This trip gave major city vibes — think riverside strolls, cutting-edge buildings, and chill coffee breaks ☀️🏙️ Here’s my guide to the best spots I found in Shanghai! Top Spots to Visit in Shanghai: 1. The Bund (Zhongshan East Road, Huangpu District) Must-visit for sunset or night views! Stroll along the Huangpu River and catch epic skyline shots (totally Instagrammable). It’s open all day, so no rush — just go when the light is right. Tip: Visit during weekdays in the late afternoon to avoid crowds! 2. 1000 Trees This modern architectural wonder is where art and nature fuse — the building’s exterior is literally bursting with greenery. Bring a camera, especially on sunny days (makes those Nature-Vision/Architecture-Vision shots pop!). There are rivers and outdoor art installations nearby for chilling out or people-watching. Quick Tips from My Experience: If you’re craving a break, find a cool indoor coffee shop — there are plenty near The Bund with authentic Chinese wall décor. A perfect spot for some chill time or to edit travel snaps! Getting Around: Metro is fast, reliable, and cheap! Get a Shanghai metro card at any station. The Bund and 1000 Trees are accessible via public transit — just plug the locations into your maps app for the nearest stop. Food: Hit local coffee shops for a uniquely Shanghai vibe (some serve stellar matcha lattes). For dinner, check out riverside spots along The Bund for a view with your meal. Travel Essentials: No visa needed for short stops if you’re eligible for the 144-hour transit policy, but double-check before you go. Always carry some cash and a translation app — it makes everything smoother! #ShanghaiVibes #ModernChina #TravelTips #CityBreak #tripdotcom#china_diaries #chinatrip

Shanghai is a city that dazzles day and night—it’s where old Europe meets booming China, and where the skyline sparkles by the riverside! If you want authentic homestyle welcome with hotel-level amenities, Jubeile Homestay is an absolute winner. 🏙️✨ The hosts go above and beyond, offering top-notch service and insider city tips that turn a good trip into something genuinely memorable. Getting there is easy—Jubeile Homestay sits in a lively, central district, so you’re just minutes by metro or taxi from the Bund’s iconic skyline, buzzing Xintiandi, and the leafy French Concession. You’ll love the Western-style building details and the calm views over rivers and city towers—a fantastic photo backdrop, especially after sunset! For the best shots, head to the nearby bridge that frames the skyscrapers against the water; it’s a must for night photography lovers. Service is a major highlight here. The staff help arrange tickets, offer local dining recommendations, and even assist with cultural experiences. Rooms mix Chinese charm with modern comforts, and there are plenty of quiet corners for relaxing after a busy day exploring. Take a stroll along the riverside, snap the vibrant flowers against modern high-rises, and soak up the outdoor cultural scene—Shanghai really shines outside. Book Jubeile Homestay on trip.com for guaranteed availability and fast check-in. When in town, start early at famous spots like Yu Garden and enjoy evenings on the Bund. Pro tip: Catch the sunset over the bridge for a striking blend of Shanghai’s historic and futuristic vibes. #Shanghai #Homestay #CityView #PhotoSpot #TravelChina

The Bund (外滩) Open: 24/7 Address: Zhongshan East Road, Huangpu District (right by the Huangpu River) Tip: Perfect for a daytime stroll to soak up the Western-style architecture and modern skyline.
