Charming Shanghai

As the earliest city in China to have contact with the outside world, Shanghai has always been a representative of China's bustling cities and is known as the "Magic City". According to the travel data of Mafengwo users, the article presents the top ten most popular tourist attractions in Shanghai. These attractions are the essence of Shanghai, suitable for tourists who want to "punch in" the attractions for the first time.

 Public transportation such as subways and buses are widely accessible, ensuring that tourists can easily travel to various scenic spots in the urban area. Centered around the Bund, tourists can visit Nanjing Road Walkway, Lujiazui, Chenghuang Temple, People's Square and other representative attractions in Shanghai. Disneyland is far from the city center and has a large passenger flow. It is best to play alone for a day.

 The Bund

 The Bund is the starting point of modern Shanghai, and also contains the essence of the whole city. Since the opening of Shanghai for trade in 1843, it has become the busiest area in the entire city, and to this day. Along the wide Huangpu River, the century old buildings of the world on one side of the Bund complement the new urban landscape of Lujiazui on the other side, showcasing Shanghai's past and prosperity in an instant.

 Travel methods

 Strolling along the Bund

Most tourists choose to enjoy the scenery on the side of the Bund, as this side can capture the towering skyscrapers across from Lujiazui, which is also the iconic filming area of the Bund.

 Ferry Night Tour

There are two types of ferries on the Bund, one is a cross river ferry that travels from the Bund to Lujiazui on the opposite bank, and the other is an hour long tourist sightseeing ferry.

 Cross River Ferry: The cross river ferry purchases tickets from the Jinling East Ferry Terminal on the Bund to board the ship. The ticket price is 2 yuan, and it takes about 10 minutes to transport tourists to Lujiazui across the river.

 Sightseeing ferries: Sightseeing ferries buy tickets from the 16 Pu on the Bund. The ticket prices range from 80-150 yuan. The difference lies in whether there are meals or sightseeing seats.

 Overlooking from the observation deck

In Lujiazui, there are many skyscrapers with observation decks. These observation platforms are generally located at a height of 100 meters, providing a panoramic view of the Bund from above. Skyscrapers with observation platforms include Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai Jinmao Tower, World Financial Center and Shanghai center Tower. The highest observation platform is located in the Shanghai center Building, 546 meters high. Shanghai Jinmao Building has an outdoor aerial walkway at a height of 340 meters, and sitting on the edge of the skyscraper at a height of 100 meters is sure to be an unforgettable experience.

Terrace restaurant, bar
