Sightseeing: [Shiliyangchang · The Bund] (free activity) The Bund is the starting point of modern Shanghai and also contains the essence of the whole city. Since the opening of Shanghai as a port (for trade) in 1843, it has become the busiest area in the entire city to this day. Along the wide Huangpu River, the century old buildings of various countries on one side of the Bund and the new urban area of Lujiazui on the other side complement each other, showcasing Shanghai's past and prosperity in the blink of an eye.
Sightseeing: [Super Burn New Year's Flavor Clock out · Chenghuang Temple Spring Festival Temple Fair] (free activity) The corner of the ancient rhyme building is decorated with lanterns, like an ancient house courtyard celebrating the New Year. In Chenghuang Temple Shopping Mall, the taste of New Year is everywhere. Before the opening of Shanghai as a port, the Chenghuang Temple was the only place for Shanghai people to play. It represents the history and traditions of Shanghai, and is a carrier of local culture in Shanghai. The temple fair culture, which has developed over the years from the temple market, almost covers all aspects of people's material and spiritual life such as religion, commerce, and folk customs, and is known as the business card of Shanghai Beach tourism. In the Old Town God Temple, there are many local snacks in Shanghai, such as the special Dim sum in the Green Wave Corridor, the vegetarian buns in the Songyue Pavilion, the pigeon eggs dumplings in the Osmanthus Hall, the Babaofan (Rice pudding with eight-delicious ingredients) in the Songyun Pavilion, and the Nanxiang Xiaolong and Jiuniang Yuanzi. They can really be called the snack kingdom, and you can enjoy them by yourself.
Cruise: [Huangpu River Cruise] The boat tour of the Pujiang River has become the most distinctive tourist project in Shanghai. On the one hand, there is the World Architecture Exhibition Hall in the old Shanghai, and on the other hand, there is the Oriental Pearl TV Tower Tower, Jinmao Tower, and the World Financial Center in the new Shanghai. It is really like a boat in the middle of the river, and people sit in a picture. This route has become a must see for foreign tourists to Shanghai.
Climbing: [Landmark Building -88th Floor, Shanghai Jinmao Tower] (Tour time not less than 1 hour) Jinmao Tower is located in the prime location of Lujiazui, facing the Bund across the river, and is one of the first 4A tourist attractions. It has both modern and ethnic styles, and is not only a landmark building of the Magic City, but also a landmark building of the 21st century! On the banks of the Huangpu River, gazing up at the clouds, leaning against the Bund, overlooking the riverside, this is an 88 story sightseeing hall with a height of 340.1 meters. Looking out from the railing, you can enjoy the urban scenery on both sides of the Huangpu River and the magnificent view of the Yangtze River estuary!
