Shanghai Bund Ginkgo Viewing Route Without Detours for Photo Spots

🧚‍♀️A must-visit in Shanghai this week💕 The best season to see the Bund ginkgo trees is here🏘️Ginkgo trees alongside century-old churches⛪️Lujiazui skyline and more💯Sharing my city walk route to hit 4 stunning ginkgo photo spots without detours all at once‼️ . ⛪️Holy Trinity Church: 🍂A 175-year-old church by the Bund! The two huge ginkgo trees here are in full golden glory! After waiting a year, I finally got the shot! 🤳Ginkgo trees framed with the red brick Gothic church, beautiful from every angle. For an overhead panoramic shot, you can go upstairs in the building opposite! . ⏰Visiting hours: Every Sunday at 8 AM and 11 AM, visit lasts 1 hour, queue up half an hour early at the Jiujiang Road entrance. 📷Best to shoot from morning until before 2 PM; in winter, the light gets poor if you come too late! . 🚌Bund 71 Bus Stop: Located at the intersection of Yan’an East Road and Zhongshan East 1st Road, rows of ginkgo trees here can be framed with the Oriental Pearl Tower, the Bund, and Lujiazui buildings, creating a strong urban vibe. . ⛲️Ancient City Park: 💗Near the Bund and Yuyuan Garden, the three-story platform offers ginkgo views with the ancient city wall and Lujiazui skyline, though the trees are a bit sparse now. ☕️The park’s café has window seats on the second floor where you can also frame ginkgo trees, but you need to get there early. 🏘️The ginkgo trees at the park entrance are huge and can also be framed with Lujiazui buildings. . 🍃Yianfu Green Space: 🤳A lesser-known green park by the elevated highway, with dozens of ginkgo trees and fallen leaves still present. It mainly features a ginkgo path, perfect for photos and very quiet. . 👉One-day itinerary if you have enough time: Holy Trinity Church - Old City Hall Building (can enter even without visiting exhibitions) - Bund 71 Bus Stop - Ancient City Park - Yuyuan Garden (currently has a winter light show) - Yianfu Green Space

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
