Can I buy extra baggage allowance? 🍭 Has anyone ever seen or visited this store? It's a candy store 🍫 "Busy for you," with a yellow banner on the storefront… featuring a cartoon character wearing a blue hat. It's easy to spot and can be found in many tourist cities. 🌆 The store has a very clear marketing strategy, and it's easy to find, crowded day and night. In many major cities, there are over 1000 branches throughout China (sometimes 2-3 stores per city!). Highly recommended for souvenirs! They sell everything from food to other items. 🍭 Highlight: - The smallest candies available. - Individually sealed packaging, one piece per bag. - The largest snack piece is as big as a person! 🤣 - Affordable Chinese-style snacks. - Minimalist packaging in small individual bags, up to large (extra-large) portions for the whole family to share. - Small items are sold by weight, categorized by price group, and can be mixed and matched. - Includes food, household goods, and fresh produce. 🧋Tips: Recommended items to buy at this store (edited…added): Small bags, sold by weight 😍 - Mala chili chicken feet - Quail eggs baked in sauce - Wasabi roasted peanuts - Mala oil-marinated jellyfish - Chinese sausage (small size) - Stuffed Chinese dates…

#ShanghaiDisney If you want to fully enjoy Zootopia, early entry is essential, allowing you to enter one hour before opening. Nick and Judy greetings are also popular, so if you want to go, it's a good idea to plan ahead. Tickets appear to be available only through the official Shanghai Disney app. They can be purchased one week in advance and generally don't sell out except during long holidays and public holidays. As noted on the purchase screen, early entry to the Zootopia area is not guaranteed, so be careful. The official app is required, so be sure to install it. You cannot purchase an early entry pass unless you link your purchased 1-day ticket to the app. To qualify for early entry, it's best to arrive at the park after 6:00 AM. Since the first train departs late, it's best to choose a hotel within walking distance of Disneyland or within taxi distance.

#TravelTalk 🥢 Review of Jiu Jiu Di Shui Dong – A Local Chinese Restaurant with Rich Flavors That Thai People Will Love (This is my second visit!) This is a local Chinese restaurant recommended by a friend who used to study in Shanghai. I can honestly say that even on my second visit, the taste is still as amazing as before. It gets quite busy in the evenings, but the wait isn't too long because the restaurant has plenty of tables. The atmosphere is pleasantly lively. 📍 Jiu Jiu Di Shui Dong 2nd floor, building on Changle Rd. (Changle Lu) You'll find it easily by searching on DiDi. This street is near Huaihai Rd., perfect for strolling, eating, and shopping. There are bars and pubs lining both sides, giving it a very modern Shanghai feel. > Recommendation: Evening is the best time to go. If you want to continue drinking, go on Friday or Saturday, as the bars in that area close early on other days. --- 🍽️ Dishes I ordered (and recommend): 🔥 Mapo Tofu The restaurant's signature dish. Rich in flavor, with a perfect balance of spicy mala pepper that tingles the tongue. Those who like spicy food will definitely love this. 🍖 Herb-marinated deep-fried pork ribs Plastic gloves are provided, making it very convenient to eat. The fragrant herbs and perfect crispness make this a popular dish. 🦆 Roasted duck Crispy skin, tender and juicy meat. It's excellent with the dipping sauce. It has a Peking duck feel but more local. 🐟 Deep-fried fish with garlic and dried chili This dish is even better! It's a bit salty, so it's best eaten with rice. But the fish is incredibly crispy, so crispy you can even chew the bones! So much fun! 🍖 Braised pork belly in savory sauce This dish is salty and fatty. If you don't like fatty food, skip this one. But if you like rich, flavorful braised dishes, you'll love it. 🍳 Egg fried rice The aroma of the Chinese wok is strong, and the rice grains are beautifully separated. This dish is perfect for balancing out the spiciness of everything else on the table. --- 💸 Cost: Divided among the bill, it's approximately 500–700 baht per person. For authentic, intensely flavorful Chinese food, it's definitely worth it. --- 🎯 Summary: Jiu Jiu Di Shui Dong is a local-style Chinese restaurant that's sure to please Thai palates. The flavors are bold and rich, not bland. The atmosphere is authentically Chinese, and it's conveniently located near Huaihai Rd. If you're in Shanghai and want to try a non-touristy Chinese restaurant, this is a must-try!

The Christmas Market in Shanghai brings a festive European-style atmosphere to the heart of the city, blending traditional holiday charm with Shanghai’s modern energy. Wooden stalls line the market selling mulled wine, handmade crafts, gingerbread, and seasonal snacks you rarely find elsewhere in China. I loved wandering between the sparkling lights and Christmas trees while enjoying live music and small performances that make the place feel warm despite the winter chill. What makes this market worth recommending is how immersive and joyful it feels—you can shop for unique gifts, try holiday treats, or simply soak in the festive mood. Whether you’re with friends or exploring solo, the Shanghai Christmas Market delivers a cozy holiday experience. #christmasmarket

I look forward to this market every Christmas, and this time the centerpiece is an 8-meter-tall Christmas tree along with a giant holiday wreath — both perfect for photos! Of course, I had to drag my girlfriends along to enjoy it together. Shanghai has officially stepped into winter, and the weather is definitely chilly, but somehow the cold becomes part of the charm.

Apoli Itabakery is a charming Italian-style bakery tucked away in Shanghai’s French Concession on 380 Xingguo Road, and it’s become something of a mini-phenomenon among locals, travelers and foodies. Walking in, the vibe is straight out of a fantasy movie — with stone walls, terrazzo-tile floors, dried-flower decor, and warm, ambient lighting that gives the place a cozy, slightly magical “old-Europe” charm. Apoli specializes in savory breads like thick-filled loaves with combinations like pastrami + pickles, bacon + anchovies, or slow-cooked chicken + black truffle. Many of those savory breads are priced around ¥20, making them surprisingly affordable given the generous fillings. Sweet options are equally tempting with favorites such as blueberry-butter tarts, maritozzo, truffle-ham toast, cinnamon-butter rolls, blueberry tarts, creamy cakes and more. Because of its beautiful décor and photogenic presentation, Apoli draws a lot of attention on social media, consequently, long queues are common, especially during weekends or peak hours, so we did our visit early for a smoother experience. So if you are in Shanghai, do stop by Apoli Itabakery as it delivers a cozy, atmospheric slice of Europe in Shanghai, complete with hearty savory breads, indulgent desserts and an ambiance that’s perfect for a leisurely coffee break or a quick food-photography session. #hellochristmas #shanghai #bakery

Must-see! The Freedom Gundam statue stands at the entrance of LaLaport; its overwhelming mecha-like grandeur is even more awe-inspiring than photos or videos. We recommend visiting during the day; the sunlight makes for amazing photos from every angle—front, side, and even from below! The Gundam base shop inside the mall boasts limited-edition models, merchandise, and assembly parts, making it a must-visit paradise for Gundam enthusiasts. Many of the limited-edition models on display are only available here, so allow plenty of time to browse. 📍 Expo Source Exhibition Hall (Indoor Model Exhibition) Address: 1368 Expo Avenue, Pudong New Area, Shanghai (near Expo Avenue Metro Station) Opening hours are generally 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, subject to change depending on the exhibition.

You can get up close and personal with all the details worth noting. The atmosphere inside is also great; many children and cosplayers come here to take photos. 📝 Itinerary Tips Based on Real User Reviews: It's recommended to start early, first visiting the LaLaport Freedom Gundam statue at Jinqiao, then exploring the Gundam base, and finally going to Expo Park in the afternoon to enjoy the exhibitions. Sunny days offer excellent outdoor photo opportunities, while indoor exhibitions provide air conditioning and undisturbed viewing. If you're visiting on a weekend or holiday, there are many restaurants near LaLaport, so you can have lunch there. You can also experience the anime-themed drinks and pop-up cafes within the mall. Before purchasing tickets, check Trip.com for any special exhibitions or events on the day of your visit! 🎯 Transportation Guide: - The subway is the most convenient option, with direct access from Jinqiao LaLaport and Expo Avenue stations (Line 10/Line 7). Driving is not recommended (parking is limited in the mall and exhibition halls on holidays). - A combination of walking and subway travel is recommended to minimize time and energy wasted. 🍜 Food Recommendations: LaLaport Mall offers a wide variety of restaurants, including Japanese cuisine, burgers, and desserts. A specially recommended themed café features adorable mecha mascot latte art! 🔖 Useful Tips: 1. Free Wi-Fi is available in the mall and exhibition hall, perfect for sharing photos anytime. 2.

If you're looking for more than just coffee, but a little happiness in a cup, this is the place for you. Every drink comes with a miniature teddy bear, seemingly hugging the cup. It's attached directly to the glass, becoming part of the serving, and then—watch out—you can take it home! 🧸💛 The souvenir you're left with after drinking a latte is priceless. The menu is simple: floral teas with rose petals, lattes, cocoa, and lemonades. And the concept is even simpler: cozy + cute + minimalist. The interior is minimalist, without being overly cluttered—the focus is entirely on the drink and the furry companion, who, of course, is photographed from every angle. 📸 📍 Where we were: 13 de Marzo Café — Xuhui Yipin Yuan (Shanghai) Near our hotel, The Kunlun JingAn, within walking distance. It's a great place to stop by on your way out. 💡 Important to know: This coffee shop is a chain, with locations in various parts of Shanghai (and apparently in other Chinese cities too). It's best to come during the day when there's a good selection of drinks and teddy bears—they can get sold out during busy hours. #Shanghai #CoffeeTime #13deMarzo #ShanghaiCafes #TravelChina 🧋🧸🇨🇳

Review of Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Shanghai Today I’d like to share my experience visiting the Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Shanghai a place I truly believe everyone should visit at least once in their life, especially coffee lovers. What stood out to me the most is that at the Starbucks Reserve you can find drinks you won’t try at any other Starbucks location. Everything feels unique, elevated, and makes you feel truly special. My partner and I ordered beverages from the exclusive Shanghai-inspired menu, each named after different parts of the city. The drinks were delicious, though quite sweet. For those who prefer more robust or less sugary flavors, like myself, I would recommend trying filter-based options or drinks with fewer syrups.❤️ The food selection is also impressive. You’ll find many unusual dishes for example, a wonderfully fragrant mushroom pizza and a variety of pastries. Visiting the Starbucks Reserve Roastery feels almost like taking a tour of a coffee production facility: you can watch the roasting process, see the beans in motion, observe the modern equipment, and enjoy it all in an incredibly stylish space. Highly recommended! #StarbucksReserve #StarbucksReserveShanghai #ShanghaiRoastery #CoffeeLovers #CoffeeExperience #ShanghaiTravel #TravelChina #CoffeeCulture #StarbucksRoastery #ShanghaiVibes #CoffeeTime #UniqueFlavors #TravelDiaries #MustVisit #CafeHopping

🌿 Tian An 1,000 Trees: The building of 1,000 trees Another must-visit landmark in Shanghai. Tian An Qian Shu (Tian An 1,000 Trees) draws inspiration from Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province. Designed by Thomas Heatherwick, the concept aims to transform a high-rise building in Shanghai into a mountain covered with a forest. Inside, there are shopping malls and restaurants.

#November Good Places 2025 The Sinan Mansion area in Shanghai has always been the inspiration base for hipsters. This time I came to the "Sinan Bookstore Poetry Store" hidden in a corner of the city - a quiet space converted from the old site of St. Nicholas Church. During the day, the white sculptures in the outdoor garden contrast with lush tree shade, creating a rare sense of peace in the heart of the city. Attraction recommendation: Sinan Bookstore · Poetry Store 📍Address: No. 53 Sinan Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai (inside Sinan Mansion) 🕧 Opening Hours: Daily 10:00-21:00 This is not just a general bookstore, the European style left by nearly a hundred years of history, even the door is full of photo-taking aura. The bookstore focuses on poetry and books, and the atmosphere is tranquil. Many creators will choose to spend a quiet afternoon here. Push the door and enter, and immediately feel the literary and artistic atmosphere permeating between the heavy brick walls. If you flip through it, you may come across a collection of poems that you have not been able to find for a long time. The outdoor area is perfect for taking pictures, with white sculptures dotted around it, surrounded by vibrant flowers and plants, and the architectural lines of the church itself. Sitting on a stone bench in the garden to read or daze, gaze at old trees and new flowers, and feel the peace of communion between man and nature – a rare healing feeling in a bustling city. Tips: - The atmosphere of Sinan Bookstore · Poetry Shop is private and quiet, suitable for alone meditation/reading, it is recommended to come at dusk on weekdays for more flavor. - Some areas within the bookstore are limited to low-pitched conversations, please keep quiet and respect other readers. - It is recommended to visit the outdoor garden for photography, where you can "view the flowers" and feel the temperature of the historical building. - Due to the conversion of an old building, some stairs are narrower, please pay attention to safety when going up and down. Food Recommendations: If you get hungry after strolling around the bookstore, there are several cafes and high-quality small restaurants in the nearby Sinan Mansion. You can try the popular cake shop "Si Nan Tang" or "Ancient and Modern Cafe", both of which are the first choice of hipster route. Transportation Guide: Take Metro Line 1 to Shaanxi South Road Station, then walk for about 10 minutes; it is more convenient to take a taxi, directly locate "Sinan Mansion". Destination practical tips: - The area around Sinan is mostly to protect historical buildings. Remember to pay attention to the signs before taking pictures. Photography is prohibited in individual areas. - The bookstore occasionally holds poetry readings and creation sharing sessions. #Shanghaicheck-in #City Poetry #Sinan Mansion #Must-visit for hipsters #bookstore roaming
