2024 Shanghai Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)
In Shanghai, known as the “Paris of the East,” the cultures from East and West are intertwined to create the city’s cosmopolitan style. What was once the ten-mile Shanghai International Settlement, established by the British in conjunction with Americans and French living along the Huangpu River in present-day Puxi, the metropolis currently develops and changes every day. There are historical and cultural architectural wonders lining the Bund and Xintiandi, as well as fashionable attractions in Pudong, such as the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Shanghai Disneyland Resort. Young creative souls can go to the Former French Concession’s Tianzifang and 1933 Laoyangfang (a former slaughterhouse turned into unique shops and art galleries) to experience what the area was once like centuries ago. The fashionable can walk up and down Nanjing Xi Shopping Street to their hearts’ content. Foodies can go to the Chenghuang (City God) Temple in the Yu Garden complex to try Shanghai delicacies. Shanghai is a multifaceted place no one will regret visiting.

Xujiahui Catholic Church is A Piece of Art 🤩
#100waysoftravel
Departing from Suzhou for 1.5 hours, arrive at the magic city of Xujiahui! I didn't expect Xu Jiahui to be so easy to capture, so scary and intimidating. Without saying much, I started to share and drive scholars. I didn't expect Xu Jiahui to be so easy to capture and explore!! Gothic architecture, completed in 1910, is known as the "First Church of the Far East" and is still the largest Catholic church in Shanghai. The Xujiahui Catholic Church has been open to the public since March 4th this year, so there are not many tourists. The red bricks and granite on the exterior of the building, as well as the color/glass windows in the interior that perfectly match the light, give a solemn and atmospheric feeling without suppressing the group ticket: free, pre agreed upon. Pre appointment method: You claim to be a venue for Xuhui Cultural Tourism. The new land sign that will explode in 2023 is the first floor atrium, and there are 3D printed open doors on the upper and lower floors of Guitong. The manufacturing model is derived from the Tushanwan archway. Q can take a panoramic view of the entire atrium through the glass on the third floor, which is quite atmospheric. The indoor lighting is soft, and taking photos creates a piece of artistic skill. A book that can be read quietly is a good choice. The third floor balcony can capture the opposite Xujiahui Catholic Church, with side lighting in the morning and afternoon, and the key position is perfect. General advance appointment: Mini program, Xujiahui Academy is located in B1 of Xujiahui Academy. I almost missed the dirty one, a cultural and creative market collection that gathers Hai Gu Ka Kuang County tea drinks, cultural and creative industries, and national style exhibitions! You can find some unique cultural and creative products. There is also a trendy calligraphy exhibition (with a light on the face) with a black and white style. I like to take pictures and enjoy browsing. The exhibition will last until the end of June, so feel free to visit. Although the exhibition is not important, as long as it is very popular, there are not many people. Key Return Free Two Xujiahui Academy Three East West Parks

Shanghai Museum (People's Square Hall) ♥️
#museums
Shanghai must see exhibitions this year! From the moment I learned the news about visiting ancient Egyptian civilization, I eagerly awaited the "Top of the Pyramid: Exhibition of Ancient Egyptian Civilization" and was invited by art enthusiasts to visit. Here is a simple exhibition guide. This time, 492 sets of 788 cultural relics from different periods of ancient Egyptian civilization, collected from dust and transported, are displayed in the first floor space of Shangbo. The entire exhibition is divided into three parts: "The Kingdom of Pharaohs", "The Age of Tutankhamun", and "The Secrets of Sakara". I personally suggest observing the exhibition in this order. Starting from the kingdom of pharaohs, this area explores the background of ancient Egypt, showcasing its cosmology, royal order, and beliefs of later generations. From daily life to cultural aspects of the spiritual world, including statues of Ramses II and painted human coffins, the "Age of Tutankhamun" area showcases what was written in the tomb of King Tutankhamun of the 18th dynasty, nearly 3000 years ago. The lighting in this exhibition hall makes viewers feel like they are standing at the edge of a pyramid under the setting sun. The "Secrets of Sakara" exhibition hall displays many animal mummies from the Sakara tomb area, as well as civilizations that can be explored. The life of the Cat God Priest has always been. In addition to the exhibition on the first floor, there is also an immersive exploration experience on the second floor called "The Way to Disappear: The Pyramid of Giza". You can purchase a ticket separately to participate (G198/person). The 45 minute VR experience allowed me to escape into the Pyramid of Giza, which is quite interesting. In addition, Shangbo plans to hold ten "Museum Strange Meow Nights" every Saturday night for nine months, where everyone can bring their pet cats to watch the exhibition together? Shanghai Museum (People's Square Hall) Dad, July 19-2025. Research. On July 17th (closed on Mondays), 148 tickets will be left for each person, and tickets for parents and children (200 for one major and one small, and 320 for two major and one small) will be reserved. The summer vacation has all been fully booked, and tickets for the next month will be available at noon on the 1st of each month, with advance arrangements made. In order to conduct research, we can set the location for the alarm clock to look good in September! After the appointment, there are two more opportunities to change the visa
key locations of Shanghai explosion asked
#citydaytours
Key locations of Shanghai explosion asked!! From the circle of friends, Hi~I'm Maomao. How few trips are there in the summer vacation? I went to Mordor once. The green wutong trees are all over the street. The old western-style houses are full of vintage trees. If you only know about the crowded Bund, then I went to Shanghai for 18 times. The experience tells you that using citywalk is the right way to punch cards. I summarized 14 free locations of the film dispenser. It takes one day to complete your circle of friends. As for the common framework of the three piece suite and the old western-style houses, it is suggested to expand the corner shooting of the intersection of Yongjia Road, Taiyuan Road, Jing'an Temple, a ceremony and the ocean to hold a Mahle Villa, Shamei Building, Shanghai Postal Museum, Garden Bridge of Shanghai, the intersection of Long Road and Changzhi Road, a Lushun Road and the road intersection, East Changzhi, North Bund, Riverside Green Land, Xiepu Road Ferry, Xiepu Road Ferry (P2), the real version of Lalaland, which is like a romantic film, the southern overpass can be photographed to combine the city and ancient buildings, and there is a kind of shock through the Three Jing'an Temple (P3) 4 Taiyuan Road Yongjia Road Intersection (P4) The castle wrapped in green ivy is only suitable for summer viewing. If you like to see the Wuyu Jinxiang New Asia Hotel (P5), you can see the Bund architectural complex at a glance. One day, it will be even more stunning. The towering skyscrapers at the intersection of Liudong Changzhi Road and Lushun Road (P6) have risen from the ground, creating a stunning visual impact. Walking across the zebra crossing, taking a photo is a big picture

Zhujiajiao Ancient Town — A Peaceful Haven Away from the City's Hustle and Bustle
In January this year, I embarked on a journey to Zhujiajiao Ancient Town. Located in the suburbs of Shanghai, this water town left a deep impression on me with its unique architectural style and rich culinary culture.
The architectural style of Zhujiajiao Ancient Town is quaint and charming. Walking on the bluestone roads, the old houses and stone arch bridges from the Ming and Qing dynasties make you feel as if you've traveled back in time. Whether it's the white walls and black tiles of the residences or the ancient alleys, everything is filled with a strong sense of history. Especially the bridges and waterways of the ancient town, which reflect each other, with the breeze rippling the water surface, enveloping the entire town in tranquility and harmony.
Among them, the Fangsheng Bridge is one of the iconic buildings of the ancient town. The bridge stands tall, and standing on it, overlooking the entire town, it feels as if the whole world has slowed down. This serene beauty makes you want to stop and savor this rare peace.
In Zhujiajiao, besides the beautiful scenery, the food is also an experience not to be missed. Especially the local live eels, which are mouth-watering. In the restaurants, the fresh eels are meticulously cooked, with tender and juicy meat, and the taste is incredibly flavorful. Especially the freshly grilled eels, with a slightly crispy exterior and tender interior, each bite is filled with rich flavors, as if the taste of the Jiangnan water town has been infused into it.
In addition, other snacks in the ancient town are also very distinctive. The numerous street vendors offer a wide variety of food choices, whether it's traditional Jiangnan pastries or various freshly made hot foods, they are all irresistible.
Thames Town: A Cultural Retreat Worth Savoring
Yesterday an ancient town, today a slice of Europe—Shanghai offers a striking contrast between East and West. 🌺
Not far from the Guangfulin Relics (about 7 kilometers away), lies Thames Town. It's quite peaceful on weekday mornings. After breakfast, take a leisurely stroll to the town's main attractions: the Catholic Church, Zhongshuge Bookstore, Wushe River Walk, and Kent Avenue.
The architecture in the town exudes the vintage charm of a British village, making it incredibly photogenic. 🎞️
Zhongshuge Bookstore, hailed as the most beautiful bookstore in China, is adorned with books from floor to ceiling. The towering bookshelves are filled with classic works of foreign literature, and even the glass floor compartments are packed with various books, making it a truly unique bookstore. 👍
The town also boasts numerous restaurants. For lunch, enjoy Hong Kong-style cuisine at Shun Kee Tea Restaurant, then take a leisurely walk to the European aristocratic-themed Thinker's Rose Garden for afternoon tea. 🍵 The second floor features high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, a piano, and medieval bookshelves, creating an elegant dining atmosphere. 🎀
Visit Thames Town to explore bookstores, sip afternoon tea, and relish the slow-paced joys of travel. 💕
Human Touch in Xinchang Ancient Town.
After 8 PM, most shops close,
The streets become quite dark, and I felt a bit deceived by the night photos,
Thinking that 'open all year round' meant brightly lit streets,
It was a bit disappointing, I have to be honest,
After all, this is a residential area, not a commercial district,
There are no services available after 8 PM,
But perhaps there are different arrangements during special holidays.
Fortunately, I stayed at a nearby hotel, just a walk away,
I decided to come back early in the morning, before the tourists arrived,
A few places selling breakfast on the street, the less crowded streets were truly beautiful,
The air was clean and refreshing, I explored thoroughly,
Determined to walk every road, some marked historical buildings,
Upon entering, they were just old and dilapidated houses.
As I wandered back and forth (some alleys are passable),
Some are just backyards where people do their laundry,
I walked to another road and saw an uncle,
Not wanting to retrace my steps, I asked if the road was passable,
He said: No, this is my home, you should go that way.
(I smiled awkwardly, thanked him, and left)
But honestly, if it wasn't for this special trip,
Otherwise, taking the subway here is quite far from the city center.
It takes half an hour from Longyang Road Station to Xinchang Station,
And the subway exit is not the ancient town yet, you still need to take a taxi.
But the ancient town is indeed beautiful, and quite large,
The light and scenery are best when there are no people around,
After 9 AM, people start to gather, and the details are less noticeable,
I really want to ask the residents what it feels like to live here,
The environment is very simple and pure, not commercialized,
There is also an ancient temple, Nanshan Temple, nearby worth visiting.

No FastPass, no need for money, how to enjoy Disneyland
|1.🌟 Once you enter the park, head straight to Zootopia and play the Heat Pursuit first. It's one of the best attractions, immersing you in the world of Zootopia from the moment you start queuing. The realistic prison, the racing experience, drifting, 5D sound effects, both adults and children will have a blast. Don't miss it.
2.🌟 After Zootopia, you can catch the Frozen Sing-Along Celebration, a favorite for little girls. Each show can accommodate many people.
3.🌟 After Frozen, you can catch the Flower Street Parade, right at the starting point. Quickly find a front-row spot and wait a few minutes for the special Zootopia parade to start. After that, there's the Disney Mickey Fairy Tale Express Parade. ⚡ As the parade is ending, head to nearby attractions like Peter Pan's Flight or Crystal Grotto, where you usually don't have to queue much.
4.🌟 After Peter Pan, walk a short distance to Tomorrowland. Since my little one is under 120cm, we skipped the Jet Packs and TRON Lightcycle Power Run. The little one can play Buzz Lightyear, with a 5-minute queue. Riding in a small car and shooting, boys should like it. We happened to meet Star-Lord and Gamora, nice! A 5-minute queue for photos, they look just like in Guardians of the Galaxy, so cool.
5.🌟 After Tomorrowland, head to Adventure Isle. You must play the Roaring Rapids, an underrated attraction. Both adults and children can play. We stored our belongings (including phones) for free. The queue time was 15 minutes. With safety ropes, you can choose your route. We chose the cave, with different difficulty levels at each junction, including climbing and single-plank bridges, similar to treetop walking + rock climbing. A 6-year-old girl had a great time and shouted for another go at the end.
6.🌟 After the Roaring Rapids, we saw that the queue for Thunder Mountain Rafting was 1 hour, so we played the Explorer Canoes 🛶 first, with a 10-minute queue. We paddled a big circle in the lake, and the little one splashed me with water. 😅
7.🌟 The canoes and Thunder Mountain Rafting are next to each other, friendly for kids over 110cm. The height requirements for rafting at Happy Valley and Fantawild are higher. My little one has never played rafting before, so we had to try it. We bought raincoats and shoe covers in advance. The shoes stayed dry, but the clothes got a bit wet. This is a good time to change into a beautiful princess dress. ⚡ So, if you plan to raft, bring an extra set of clothes.
8.🌟 After rafting, continue upwards to Pirates of the Caribbean. The 40-minute queue is worth it. The experience is amazing, immersive. Those who are timid should prepare mentally. My 6-year-old daughter didn't find it scary, especially loved the final drop from the cave to the exit. She said it was thrilling and played twice (the accompanying kids were scared, so she played twice).
9.🌟 When the first fireworks show is about to start, queue for Soaring Over the Horizon. There are fewer people. My daughter and I both love this attraction. You can smell the corresponding scents at each place, feeling like you really have wings, flying to those beautiful places.
10.🌟 After Soaring Over the Horizon, you come out to the fireworks viewing area. Now, you just need to quietly wait for the second fireworks and light show. A beautiful day ends here.

A Classic Shanghainese Dish

Xiaolongbao (Soup Dumplings):

For an authentic experience, visit Jia Jia Tang Bao near People’s Square. This no-frills eatery is renowned among locals for its perfectly crafted dumplings.

The History of Longhua Temple in Shanghai 🌟🇨🇳
Located just south of downtown Shanghai, China, is Longhua Temple. Known for it’s tall pagoda and rich history, this ancient temple has a history of more than 1700 years.
In the temple complex there are six halls: Daxiong Hall, Maitreya Hall, Sutra Building, Sansheng Hall and Abbot’s room. Each has different varieties of Buddha statues and a special story. On the East and West side of the temple are Bell and Drum towers. Be prepared to pay extra to ring the bell!
During the Lunar New Year, Longhua Temple hosts a bell ringing event to welcome the new year. It’s also common for visitors to put incense above their head to wish for luck for the new year 🧧
Although there is a long history, the temple itself has been destroyed and rebuilt many times. It was last destroyed during the Tang dynasty and rebuilt in the Northern Song Dynasty. The pagoda is actually tilting slightly due to the soft soil in Shanghai!
