The Bund<\/h3><\/div>

The Bund<\/h3>

Of course! The Bund is a must visit and there are few visitors to Shanghai who wouldn\u2019t make the time to explore this Shanghai icon. Located in the Huangpu District of Shanghai on the bank of the Huangpu River, the Bund is nothing short of impressive. Extending 1.5 kilometres, the Bund is historically significant for the stately European style buildings, synonymous of the commerce and trade that put Shanghai on the international map. Among the highlights are the old HSBC Building, Customs House, the Bund Bull (you\u2019ll know it when you see it), and the Bund sightseeing tunnel. Our team\u2019s favorite? For us the Peace Hotel is a winner. Like other buildings designed and built in the same era, the Peace Hotel offers a step back in time, reflecting art deco design and glamor. Walk the entire length or from a distance simply enjoy the view encompassing the now famous Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, the Jin Mao Tower, and constant parade of locals and visitors.<\/p>\n<\/div>Read more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yuyuan Garden<\/h3>

Yuyuan is perhaps the city\u2019s most celebrated garden, originally constructed in 1559 as the private property of a local dignitary. Beautifully restored and maintained, the Yu Garden is a peaceful reprieve from Shanghai\u2019s otherwise bustling pace, fulfilling the intention of its creator who wanted to create a place of comfort for his parents. Spend a pleasant hour or two wandering the many pathways, perfectly kept gardens, and elaborate pavilions constructed in line with traditional Chinese philosophical and design principles.<\/p>\n<\/div>Read more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Oriental Pearl Tower<\/h3><\/div>

Oriental Pearl Tower<\/h3>

Completed in 1994, the Oriental Pearl Tower, standing at a gravity-defying 468 meters, is one of the city\u2019s legendary landmarks.

Hop on the lightning-fast elevator and shoot up to the 350-meter-high observation deck for a jaw-dropping 360\u00b0 view of Shanghai. And if you\u2019re not put off by heights, step onto the glass-bottomed skywalk and experience the ultimate adrenaline rush as the city sprawls out beneath your feet like a rolling wave. Ideal visiting times are the golden hours of sunset or under the dazzling city lights at night.

Nanjing Road<\/h3>

A visit to Shanghai would be incomplete without time spent exploring Shanghai\u2019s busiest thoroughfare, Nanjing Road. Stretching east to west for more than five kilometers, Nanjing Road throbs with people day and night. Think of it as New Year\u2019s Eve – every day of the year! Of course you\u2019ll find shopping here – some of the finest in Shanghai – but there\u2019s more to discover on Nanjing Road. Expect everything from luxury label flagship stores and high street fashion in malls like Plaza 66, Jing An Kerry Center, and HKRI Taikoo Hui on West Nanjing Road. Enjoy a drop in the intensity when you start at the East Nanjing Road end, where food and souvenirs are more the focus. Be taken in by the aroma of local snacks like crispy scallion pancakes, juicy soup dumplings, and sugar-coated hawthorn skewers. Done with walking after a day of discovery?

Shanghai Museum and Shanghai Museum East<\/h3><\/div>

Shanghai Museum and Shanghai Museum East<\/h3>

In every major city in China (and all smaller urban hubs) you will find a museum or two which showcases ancient Chinese history and traditional culture. With a heritage that spans millennia, it must be difficult for curators to narrow their selection of artefacts to provide the greatest insights into China\u2019s incredible history. With that said, the team at the Shanghai Museum and Shanghai Museum East have done a fine job. A storehouse for more than 140,000 artefacts of ancient Chinese culture – many of which have been generously donated or purchased by the government, it will take some serious dedication to make your way through the entire collection in a single visit. The more recently opened Shanghai Museum East in Pudong is an extension of the original museum. Designed to enhance the visitor\u2019s experience of the artfully designed 20 exhibition halls, it offers interactive experience spaces that showcase the beautifully rich heritage found in Chinese craftsmanship.<\/p>\n<\/div>Explore more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Among the many cultures that have left their mark on Shanghai, the French feature prominently. Influences are seen in design, food, and fashion, and notably, in architecture too. To experience this influence there is no better destination than the Former French Concession, a district appreciated for its heritage reflected in distinctive architecture, which melds French art deco and neoclassical design with Chinese cultural influences.

Tianzifang<\/h3><\/div>

Tianzifang<\/h3>

And although time has passed, Tianzifang continues to seamlessly blend the traditional and contemporary, eastern and western, the urban and artisan.

Jade Buddha Temple<\/h3><\/div>

Jade Buddha Temple<\/h3>

While the Jade Buddha Temple holds a sacred place in the hearts of faithful practising buddhists, it is also a haven where travelers can experience quiet, contemplating in the quiet that offers a peaceful balance to Shanghai\u2019s busy pace.

Zhujiajiao<\/h3><\/div>

Zhujiajiao<\/h3>

As the water town located closest to Shanghai, a visit to Zhujiajiao is warranted if a traditional water town is on your must-see list. Incredibly, the town’s history extends back 1,700 years to the Three Kingdoms period in China. A welcome contrast to the big city vibe of Shanghai, Zhujiajiao is a stark contrast. Like all other ancient water towns, Zhujiajio is characterised by Ming and Qing dynasty architecture, quaint stone bridges, traditional Chinese residences, and countless food and craft vendors offering their wares. One particular highlight is the enthusiastic engagement in cosplay by local teens and students. Many don traditional costumes, hair, and make up to capture the perfect shot for their socials. It\u2019s hard to say who has more fun. Those dressing up, or the bystanders taking it all in.<\/p>\n<\/div>Explore more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The temple also houses a remarkable collection of Buddhist relics, including ancient scriptures, statues, and ritual objects, each telling a story of rich heritage. What makes Jing\u2019an Temple truly unique is its striking contrast with the surrounding modern skyline.

The collection reflects the focus of the time, China\u2019s \u2018ordinary people\u2019 and the government\u2019s push for an egalitarian society. Gaining a reputation internationally, the collection has been exhibited at the Asia Society Museum in New York, the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands, the Fairbank Center at Harvard University, and the East Asian Library at Stanford University.

Longhua Temple<\/h3><\/div>

Longhua Temple<\/h3>

You could be forgiven for thinking everything in China is ancient, especially when you come across sites such as Longhua Temple, the largest and oldest Buddhist temple in Shanghai constructed 1,700 years ago. Even centuries ago, it was considered a \u2018must-see\u2019 Shanghai icon, with the temple bell revered as one of eight major sites during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644\u20131911) dynasties, while the pagoda was appreciated for the exquisite reflection captured in the river against the backdrop of a peach forest.<\/p>\n

Originally named after the legend of Maitreya Bodhisattva attaining enlightenment under the Longhua tree in Buddhist scriptures, the thousand-year-old Longhua Ancient Pagoda standing in Longhua Square is a seven storey octagonal wooden pagoda. It is considered the best preserved Song Dynasty tower in the Shanghai area and a national key cultural relic protection unit.<\/p>\n

Today, Longhua Temple still holds enormous appeal for those wanting to connect to their Buddhist faith, while travelers can visit and observe the architectural and artistic details and care taken to preserve the temple for future generations. If you are planning a visit, consider timing it to the Longhua Temple Fair in April, one of the traditional temple fairs with a 300 year history, or to Chinese New Year\u2019s Eve when the Evening Bell-Striking Ceremony heralds in good luck and blessings.<\/p>\n

Locals, especially those seeking a social element to their temple experience, enjoy the unique atmosphere found over a warm cup of vegetarian coffee or bowl of vegetarian noodles with toppings, both of which can be enjoyed at Longhua Temple.<\/p>\n<\/div>Explore more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If cruising on weekends, festivals and holidays, be sure to book ahead as the Bund is overwhelmed with crowds hoping for best viewing spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Night tour at Yuyuan Garden and Chenghuangmiao (City God Temple) area<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The area encompassing Yuyuan Garden and Chenghuangmiao – also referred to as City God Temple – is of course frequented by visitors during the day. But for something a little different, include this precinct in your night time exploring activities. Both the garden and temple area lend themselves to quiet reflection and wandering at any time, however, by night the traditional Chinese buildings look particularly beautiful under the reflection of the lights. Wandering through feels a little like traveling through time and space. Visiting during Chinese New Year (usually falls between Jan and Feb)? Join the many thousands of visitors who are mesmerised by the beautiful Chinese lanterns every year. For night views and authentic local food, this is a must see on your things to do in Shanghai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Night views<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s one thing Shanghai is not short of, it\u2019s amazing views by night. Trying to narrow this list? Don\u2019t worry, we have you covered. Best spots for seeing Shanghai by night can be found on a hotly contested list that includes the observation deck of the Oriental Pearl Tower, Sightseeing Hall of the Jinmao Tower, the Shanghai Observatory of Shanghai Tower, and The Stage on top of the Sinar Mas Plaza. Unless you are a hardcore night view fan, you\u2019re unlikely to make the trek to every one, so take a lead from locals who prefer the stunning night views of both the Bund and Lujiazui at the less crowded North Bund area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an on-the-ground night view, head to the main downtown area, which is surrounded by highrise buildings, most sporting facades that double as giant size LED billboards for the latest, greatest, and most sought after consumable. By contrast, the unique golden roof of the Jing\u2019an Templeputs on a show too. It glitters by night making it the perfect destination for a more tranquil and classical night view. The Shanghainese love their lights so much, they created the Shanghai International Light Festival. Held around mid September every year at the Shanghai Exhibition Center, the festival lights up the city through a showcase of over 100 events.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Coffee and cafe culture<\/h2>\n\n\n

Little known outside of Shanghai is the fact that this fabulous 24\/7 city is a coffee and cafe mecca. At last count in 2024, Shanghai was home to a whopping 9,553 cafes, ahead of other international capitals like New York, London, and Tokyo. Add to this the proliferation of cafes and coffee venues on high traffic strips like West Nanjing Road (there is a coffee shop every 30 meters!) and around two million cups of coffee are consumed daily, you may wonder whether tea is in fact a staple of China.<\/p>\n

Rest assured, tea\u2019s dominance continues but not without some serious competition from coffee in all its forms. In Shanghai, the choices are endless. Choose from international brands like Tims or Starbucks, which alone has over a thousand cafes in Shanghai. Even Lavazza has taken up residence in Shanghai. Home grown brands have hopped on the bandwagon too, with Luckin Coffee and Manner gaining in popularity, alongside options from McDonald\u2019s McCafe and 7-11\u2019s CityCafe. But if your coffee has to be something a little out of the ordinary, then choose from one of the many smaller, independently owned boutique cafes that line places like Yongkang Road, also affectionately referred to by locals as \u2018cafe street\u2019. In this district, and in other places like West Nanjing Road, Middle Huaihai Road, Julu Road, Sinan Mansion, Wukang Road, Tianzifang, and Xintiandi, you are bound to find the exact coffee you love, whether it\u2019s espresso, filtered, flat white, or long black.<\/p>\n

One final distinction worth noting is the uniqueness of Shanghai\u2019s coffee flavors. Blending tastes from east and west, for the adventurous there is plenty to step out from beyond a coffee comfort zone to something very Chinese Jiangnan style. Creative combinations of coffee and tea, coffee and soy milk, western coffee and Chinese desserts are popular with the Shanghainese, as are Oolong latte, jasmine latte, tieguanyin latte. You will even find fruits and flowers thrown in with osmanthus latte highly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n

Cafe hopping<\/h3>\n\n\n

Coffee elites will find themselves at home in Shanghai\u2019s coffee culture, with the unexpected to be found on almost every inner city corner. From the upmarket bespoke to multinational coffee brands, Shanghai offers something for every level of cafe and coffee lovers. With so many options, it can be hard to narrow the field, so we\u2019ve put together this curated list. You can thank our team when you\u2019re taking that first sip of your favorite cup.<\/p>\n\n\n
