Traveling to China is now easy and very affordable. The main expenses will be tickets and hotels. It’s best to book about 2-3 months in advance. ✈️ Book a ticket with China Southern Airlines (23 kg free baggage allowance) with a 2.10-hour transit in Guangzhou (just the right amount of time to stroll and grab a quick bite at the airport) (or if you prefer, there are direct flights too). 🏨 For hotels in China, most travel is done by Metro. It’s recommended to choose a hotel near a Metro station for convenient travel. Check prices and book at least 2 months ahead. 📞 For your phone, I activated roaming and added travel insurance in the package. The price is very good, 599 THB for 10 GB over 10 days. I used it fully and still had data left, which is better than having to buy more later. #TravelChina #PrepareForChinaTrip

It is recommended to visit at night and take a Huangpu River cruise to enjoy the riverside scenery from the water. • Oriental Pearl Tower: A landmark building in Shanghai. You can go up to the observation deck for a panoramic view of the city. It is recommended to buy the two-ball combo ticket to experience the 259-meter fully transparent skywalk. • Yuyuan Garden: A classical Jiangnan garden featuring pavilions, towers, rockeries, and ponds, showcasing the exquisite beauty of Jiangnan gardens. Nearby is Yuyuan Bazaar, where you can taste various Shanghai specialty snacks. Food Recommendations • Local Cuisine: Recommended restaurants include Lvbolang and Lao Zhengxing Restaurant, where you can try specialties like braised pork, crispy eel in oil, and stir-fried amaranth. • Specialty Snacks: Must-try snacks include Dashuchun Shengjian at Yunnan South Road, Xian De Lai ribs with rice cakes, Butterfly Pastry at International Hotel on Huanghe Road, and Xiao Yang Shengjian on Wujiang Road.

A connecting bridge where you can see the Pearl Tower very clearly 🙌🏻🔅 Plus, the bridge also branches off to several places like Superbrand Mall, Disney Store, and other malls. If you stop by near the Pearl Tower, don’t miss coming up to this connecting bridge. The view is amazing, 100/10, absolutely stunning. No matter which way you look, you’ll see beautiful, famous tall buildings of Shanghai. Around the roundabout, they’ve also planted peony flowers, very garden-like. ⁉️ If you want to take photos with a clear view of the Pearl Tower, come here. ⁉️ They also offer photo-taking services on the bridge. If you’re coming alone, go for it 💖 # # I recommend coming before 8 or 9 PM because they turn off the Pearl Tower lights earlier. Coming around 7 PM is just right!
