Citywalk North Bund Stroll Shanghai
Shanghai North Bund has become a new popular spot for social media check-ins. Starting from near the Banyan Tree Hotel in the morning, take a leisurely walk along the riverside all the way to the Waibaidu Bridge. Along the way, you can enjoy the sunrise over the water and have a panoramic view of the iconic trio of Pudong and the Oriental Pearl Tower across the river. The viewing platform, the silver droplet-shaped dome, the dazzling Rainbow Bridge, the Gate of Music, the cruise terminal, and the wind organ chairs under the cherry blossom trees are all exquisitely unique amidst the spring blooms. Take a stroll, sit down for a cup of coffee, and soak in the atmosphere of the Magic City. Tourists can join the North Bund area from the Huangpu River or along the Suzhou River, where it is relatively less crowded, and not to be missed.

Absolutely Stunning Shanghai Bund 🇨🇳
#cherryblossom2024 🌸
🌸 The cherry blossoms at the North Bund at night are absolutely stunning! Trust me, the scenery there is amazing! 🌸
🌸 The sea of violets and daffodils in front of it is a thing of the past now. But when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and paired with the magical skyline of Lujiazui, it's truly beautiful. The flowering period is short but oh-so-pretty! 🌸
🌸 This weekend is the perfect time to enjoy the flowers. Adjust the blue tone before and after sunset, admire the lights of the skyscrapers, the deep blue night sky, and the pink cherry blossoms dancing in the night breeze. Find a cozy spot by the path, sit back, and savor the enchanting moments of spring. The cherry blossom forest lights up around 17:30, Lujiazui lights up around midnight, and the sunset is around 18:30. 🌸
🌸 In my opinion, the most atmospheric time to see the night cherry blossoms is between 18:00 and 19:00. If you want to capture daytime cherry blossoms separately, make sure the night view lights of the cherry blossom forest turn yellow before 17:30. 🌸
📍 Location: North Bund Riverside Green Area, South Gate 📍

Cherry Blossoms surrounding North Bund 🇨🇳
#cherryblossom2024 🌸
The atmosphere of cherry blossoms surrounding the North Bund at night is excellent. You can always trust the scenery of the North Bund!
The sea of violets and daffodils in front of it has become a thing of the past, and if the cherry blossoms are fully bloomed and paired with the magical skyline of Lujiazui, it is really beautiful. The flowering period is short and temporary.
This weekend is a good time to enjoy the flowers, adjust the blue tone before and after sunset in the evening, the lights of the skyscraper, the deep blue night sky, and the pink cherries fluttering in the night wind. Sitting on a long chair by the side of the path, quietly enjoying the moving moment of spring, the cherry blossom forest lights up around 1730, the Lujiazui shape lights up around 00, and the score is around 30 at sunset.
In my opinion, the time when night cherry blossoms have a more atmospheric atmosphere is between 18:00 and 19:00. If you want to take photos of the daytime cherry blossoms separately, it is necessary to have the night view lights of the cherry blossom forest turn yellow before 17:30.
Location: North Bund Riverside Green Area, South Gate

Shanghai | The North Bund is so romantic, and the best part is that it's not crowded!!
The Bund is too crowded, so I chose to go to the North Bund. The pink beach at the North Bund is so romantic! On the day I went, the clouds were also in love with us, and after the rain, there was even a layer of pink clouds, which matched the pink sand beach, making it so romantic and gentle.
One highlight advantage:
√ Pink romantic sand beach, dopamine style, perfect for photos with a full-on girly heart, super pretty. You can dig in the sand, swing on the swings, and play with ocean balls.
√ Easy to bring kids, children can play on their own, while adults can relax on lounge chairs, snack, and enjoy the sunset and night view.
√ At the North Bund, you can admire the Oriental Pearl Tower trio, and the night view is just as good as the Bund, but most importantly, it's much less crowded. Although the beach is not big, it's enough for kids to play, and I heard there are band performances on weekends, which create a great atmosphere. I went on a weekday, and it wasn't crowded.
You can go there after 4 pm, walk around, enjoy the breeze by the river, admire the sunset, and then wait for the lights to come on to enjoy the most beautiful night view of Shanghai.

The Romance of March in the Magic City | North Bund
Amidst the photos of cherry blossoms filling the skies of Shanghai and guides on where to view them, the violets of the North Bund have carved out a lane for themselves. Come here to experience the romance of March in the magic city!
📍Address: North Bund Riverside Green Space
🚇Transport: Exit 3 of the International Passenger Transport Center Station on Metro Line 12
📆Shooting Date: March 10
💐It is suggested to directly locate the manner coffee shop to avoid taking a wrong turn. On weekends, with cruise ships lining the river, the area near the Little Giant Egg doesn't offer much for photography and tends to be crowded. It's recommended to head straight for the violets.
☑️The violet flower sea is quite concentrated, with white, purple, and pink colors. It's suggested to take photos with the Pudong skyline as a backdrop. If it's crowded, consider using a telephoto lens to zoom in.
☑️The manner coffee shop is usually crowded. If it's not too busy, the view from inside the shop looking out is also quite good. On a busy weekend, it's advisable to just buy a coffee and sit down, if there are seats available, of course.
☑️At the main entrance of manner, there is a heart-shaped balloon sculpture, which is the epitome of romance.

Riverside walk in Hongkou Riverside, the riverside green space in North Bund is beautiful
On a day of occasional cloudiness and rain, you can walk along the Huangpu River from the north side of Waibaidu Bridge and enjoy the scenery of North Bund. Although the riverside green space in North Bund is small, it is very beautiful, like a mini botanical garden. When you reach the Qinhuangdao Road Ferry Terminal, you can take a ferry to Qichang Terminal in Pudong.

The truth I understood after visiting the Bund for 5 times
I took many detours when visiting the Bund, always because I missed some places I wanted to check in, so I went again!
The truth I understood after visiting the Bund for 5 times...
I took many detours when visiting the Bund, always because I missed some places I wanted to check in, so I went again!

Autumn walking guide in Shanghai, every second is heart-stirring!
✔️North Bund Riverside Green Space
I like the North Bund area because of its beautiful scenery and wide view. There are fewer people, and large green plants and flowers surround the steel giant egg. You can also look across the river to the Oriental Pearl and the three-piece suit. It's very romantic to take a walk here in the evening in autumn.
✔️Suzhou River Cultural Life Block
On the Guangfu Road by the Suzhou River, the new Fotografiska Image Art Center has opened. The huge space simultaneously exhibits individual exhibitions of 4 artists. Next to it is the Louis Vuitton limited-time space, presenting a new art and cultural life experience. Stroll by the river, drink coffee, take pictures, and don't miss this freshly baked trendy check-in place for friends who like art and fashion.

The night view of Magic City
I like to ride a bike with my phone in this city
Record the beautiful life and everything I see in my eyes
Growing up in this big city
Watching her changes day by day
I've been squatting for this position for a long time
Finally got the night view
The night view of the North Bund is also very beautiful
If you are lucky enough to come to Shanghai
You can come here to check in by the way
There will only be surprises

The Bund National 4A Scenic Area
The Bund National 4A Scenic Area is located in the southern part of Hongkou District.
We came here for the first time and were amazed. Compared with the Bund, there are fewer people here, avoiding the crowd, enjoying the river view along the way, the 'magic seeds' of the riverside green space, the treasure check-in place where you can take pictures casually, framing the Huangpu River, flowers, trees and the 'three-piece suit' of Magic City with one key, and finally sitting on the ferry to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Huangpu River, a comfortable and leisurely tour experience.

For those visiting Shanghai for the first time: It's not recommended to go to North Bund
For those visiting Shanghai for the first time: It's not recommended to go to North Bund, there are many people on the Bund, some people will suggest going to North Bund, but for those visiting Shanghai for the first time, going to North Bund may not be a good choice. (To clarify: The North Bund mentioned here refers to the North Bund Riverside Green Space area)
Let's talk about the advantages of North Bund:
1. Going to North Bund at night to see the Pudong Trio is better than the Bund, and you can also see the full view of the Bund's international architecture group, which is a good visual experience. 2. During the day, you can consider going to the silver giant egg in North Bund, which is quite photogenic on sunny days.
3. Whether it's day or night, there are fewer people in North Bund than in the Bund. These are the advantages, now let's talk about why it's not recommended for people visiting Shanghai for the first time to go to North Bund, especially if you've already been to the Bund. 1. The scenery of North Bund is relatively monotonous, apart from what's mentioned above, there are no other attractions to see. If you've already seen the Pudong Trio at the Bund or Waibaidu Bridge, I don't think it's necessary to go to North Bund to see it again.
2. Compared to North Bund, there are many more attractions around the Bund, all within walking distance. For example, Waibaidu Bridge, Zhapu Road Bridge, Holy Trinity Church, New Heaven Church, Bund Source, Postal Museum, etc.
3. It's indeed quite shocking to see the full view of the Bund's international architecture group from North Bund at night, but if you want to take good photos, it's quite difficult because the distance is a bit far, most mobile phones will produce small images, and if you zoom in, it will be blurry.
4. Compared to taking photos of the full view of the Bund's international architecture, actually touching these buildings on the Bund might give you a better feeling.
5. North Bund is located at the International Passenger Center Station on Line 12, which only has Line 12, so it's not as convenient as the Bund in terms of public transportation.
6. There is currently a construction area in North Bund, which affects the view of the lighthouse.
Of course, if you're not visiting the Bund for the first time, or if you want to have a better visual experience of the Pudong Trio, North Bund is still worth considering. PS. I always think that Waibaidu Bridge is the best place to see the Pudong Trio in terms of cost performance, there are not many people, and the view is very open.

Shanghai | North Bund Guide
Do you want to miss all the good scenery of the destination? Look at my strategy is right!
I divided Shanghai into more than a dozen areas, which is convenient for everyone to travel according to the area, all the places I introduce are unique scenery only in Shanghai.
This tour is to be introduced in the [North Bund]
1 music door: the iconic landscape of the Bund, these three spheres will be lit at night, very sci-fi feeling. At the time of construction, the whole installation was installed. The address is No. 638 Dongda Ming Road
2 The top floor of the music gate: The front of the terrace is the cruise ship berth of the International Passenger Transport Center. If you are lucky, there is a cruise ship that can take a cruise ship. A cool photo with Lujiazui (cover image). This terrace seems to be dedicated to activities, but it has not been encountered several times.
3 Yacht Club: From the Jiayuan Building, No. 188, Fair Road (there is a Jianye Bookstore here is also worth seeing), it is the yacht club. Looking at various yachts at close range, I dont know if it will make people richer. The way the yacht leaves the port is very special. It is necessary to enter a closed ship lock first, and wait for the water level in the ship lock to meet with the water level of the Huangpu River. It is a bit like the lock of the Panama Canal.
4Hongkou Binjiang: From the yacht club to the Waibaidu Bridge, the riverside green space is the Hongkou Riverside. There are a total of 2.5 kilometers of public green space, blowing the river wind, whether it is jogging or walking.
5Magic Matrix: A newly opened outdoor climbing sport with a 40-meter-long transparent slide, a 5-story swing, a high-altitude wooden bridge, a high-altitude bicycle, and a tightrope.
6: On the road here, you can take a cool photo with the three sets of Modu, and pay attention to safety! The location is right at the door of Shanghai W Hotel.
7International Passenger Transport Center Subway Station: The roof of the deep starry sky that you fell in love with, the twelve constellations have it.
8New Bund Garden: The rooftop here is the first observation deck of the North Bund. At the end, friends who have a relationship can see it~
