As the first city in China to contact the outside world, Shanghai has always been a representative of China's prosperous cities and is known as the "Magic City". Based on Mafengwo user travel data, this article presents the top ten most popular attractions in Shanghai. These attractions are the essence of Shanghai and are suitable for first-time visitors who want to check out the attractions.
Public transportation such as subways and buses extends in all directions, ensuring that tourists can easily travel to various attractions in the city. Centered along the Bund, tourists can visit Shanghai's representative attractions such as Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, Lujiazui, City God Temple, and People's Square. Disneyland is far from the city and has a large passenger flow, so it is best to visit it on a single day.
The Bund
The Bund is the starting point of modern Shanghai and also contains the essence of the entire city. Since Shanghai opened as a port (for trade) in 1843, it has become the most prosperous area in the city to this day. Along the wide Huangpu River, the century-old buildings of various countries on one side of the Bund complement each other with the new cities of Lujiazui on the other side, showing the past and prosperity of Shanghai in the blink of an eye.
Tour methods
Stroll on the Bund
Most tourists will choose to enjoy the scenery on the Bund side, because this side can take pictures of the rows of skyscrapers in Lujiazui on the other side, and it is also the iconic viewing area of the Bund.
Ferry night tour
There are two types of ferries on the Bund, one is a cross-river ferry that goes from the Bund to Lujiazui on the other side, and the other is a one-hour tourist ferry.
Cross-river ferry: Buy a ticket to board the cross-river ferry from Jinling Dongdu Wharf on the Bund. The ticket price is 2 yuan and it takes about 10 minutes to transport tourists to Lujiazui on the other side.
Sightseeing ferry: Purchase tickets for the sightseeing ferry from Shiliupu Pier on the Bund. The fare ranges from 80 to 150 yuan. The difference lies in whether meals and scenic seating are included.
Overlooking the observation deck
In Lujiazui, there are many skyscrapers with observation decks. These observation decks are generally located at a height of 100 meters, allowing you to overlook the scenery of the Bund from a high altitude. Skyscrapers with observation decks include the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Jin Mao Tower, World Financial Center, and Shanghai Tower. The highest observation deck is located in the Shanghai Tower, with a height of 546 meters. Shanghai Jin Mao Tower has an outdoor skywalk at 340 meters. Sitting on the edge of the skyscraper at a height of 100 meters will surely be an unforgettable experience.
Terrace restaurant and bar
There are many high-end restaurants and bars on the top of the European-style buildings on the Bund side. These places are the best places to stay away from the crowds, and they also create an excellent area for you to enjoy the scenery of Lujiazui. The price of the restaurant is quite high, at RMB 300+ per person.
