Shanghai Bund Must-Visit Guide: 24 Hours in the Heart of the City

✨【Must-See Attractions】——Picture-Perfect Spots 1️⃣ Oriental Pearl Tower 🎈 Best Night Shot: Most magical when bathed in purple lights. The tower changes colors hourly after 19:00. The 21st-floor glass observatory offers stunning views of the Huangpu River's shimmering lights. ✨ Hidden Gem: The riverside promenade at Pudong Art Museum😎. Frame your shot through the archway🛜 for a magazine-worthy photo. 2️⃣ The Bund's Historic Buildings 🎉 Vintage Vibes: The Customs🛃 Clock Tower lights up at 18:00. For a golden-hour shot, use a wide-angle lens at the Peace Hotel entrance🚪, where the golden lights contrast beautifully with the deep blue night sky🈳. 🎁 City Walk Route: From Waibaidu Bridge🌉→ Chen Yi Square→ Jinling East Road Ferry Station, uncover filming locations from the hit show "Blossoms Shanghai." 3️⃣ Lujiazui's "Three Giants" ♈ Magical Angle: Tilt your phone📱 on the ground at Jinmao Tower's base to capture the soaring trio😎. Best after 19:30 when all lights are on for maximum impact. 🍜【Food Guide】——Bund Bites ♐ Local Delicacy: Crab roe rice at "Shanghai's Most Charming" in Bund 18. Priced at 200+ per person but packed with crab roe. Window seats require 3-day advance booking. ♉ Riverside Afternoon Tea🍵: Ritz-Carlton Pudong🙀 on the 52nd floor. Order the "Oriental Pearl Tower" dessert set—best at sunset. 🎊 Night Market Feast😠: Head to Yunnan South Road😎 for classic dishes like Xian De Lai's pork cutlet with rice cakes😎 and fried dough sticks, all under 20 RMB per person. 🏨【Stay Guide】——Sleep with a View 🎈 Luxury Pick: The Waldorf Astoria on the Bund🏨, a historic building with full river-view rooms.

Skip the 120 RMB tourist boats and head straight to the upper deck. 🎈 Metro Express: Exit at East Nanjing Road Station (Exits 2/10, Gate 7), but during holidays, walk from Yuyuan Station instead. 🎊 Taxi Warning: Avoid touts at scenic spots😎 offering "10 RMB to Lujiazui"—they're unlicensed🚗.
