1/ Enjoy a night scene

Shanghai is known as the "Magic Capital" and also known as "Night Shanghai". As the city card of Shanghai, the night scene has always been the greatest charm of the magic capital Shanghai. The Bund, Nanjing Road, Oriental Pearl, etc. are also the first places to come to Shanghai to enjoy the night view.

The Bund

The Bund, located on the Huangpu River in Shanghai, starts from Shiliupu Wharf in the south and ends at Waibaidu Bridge in the north. It is the most Shanghai-style city card. Dozens of buildings with different styles and beautiful night scenes on both sides of Pujiang are the essence of the Bund. The old buildings scattered under the lanterns have a visual sense of "ten miles of foreign fields" in the Republic of China.

At night, standing by the Bund and facing the towering skyscrapers such as Oriental Pearl Tower, Jinmao Tower and World Financial Center, you can feel the romance and amorous feelings of the "city that never sleeps".

If you take a cruise ship or ferry in Pujiang, the river breeze blows gently, and the neon lights on both sides of the river complement each other. On the one hand, it is the Bund that witnesses the "ten-mile foreign exchange", on the other hand, it is the skyscraper of a modern city, and there are many beautiful images of the Waibaidu Bridge under the literary works, all of which are the most prosperous and beautiful testimony of Shanghai, a city that never sleeps.

Oriental Pearl

The Oriental Pearl, located in Lujiazui, Pudong, Shanghai, echoes the Bund on the other side of Huangpu River, and is a landmark building in Shanghai. At the beginning of the lights, you can take a fully transparent high-speed sightseeing elevator and board the 351-meter-high space capsule sightseeing floor, which can take in a panoramic view of the beautiful night scenes on both sides of the Pujiang River. If you go to the 267-meter-high revolving restaurant in the air, it will be a wonderful experience to enjoy the night view of Shencheng while tasting delicious food.

Climb the three main spheres of the Oriental Pearl and stand at different heights to enjoy the night view of the city on both sides of Pujiang. In particular, standing on the 259-meter-high fully transparent sightseeing gallery and feeling the beauty of the city that never sleeps at night in a unique way of "walking in the air" is an unforgettable enjoyment for life.

Nanjing Road

Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street has the reputation of "the first commercial street in China". The colorful "Shili Yangchang" is the most prosperous commercial street in Shanghai and even in China.

When night falls, walking along Nanjing Road, tourists from all corners of the country are bustling and endless. Walking in the crowd, the modern buildings on both sides are mixed with European-style foreign buildings, and the vertically hung shop light boxes are row upon row, reflecting the beautiful European-style buildings and full of the bustling atmosphere of old Shanghai.

Tianzifang

Tianzifang, which was rebuilt from the Shikumen complex in Shanghai, is the creative base of many literati and artists.

Walking in the old alley, looking at the tiger skylight on the roof, the finely arranged red tiles, the cracks on the gable and the green moss, everything is full of the flavor and breath of old Shanghai. Outside the open-air bar, listening to the languages of different countries, mixed with the crisp Shanghai dialect of local residents, you can also stop and find a street artist to draw a portrait for yourself.

Of course, as a young artist, you can also visit the cultural celebrity studios represented by Chen Yifei. When you are tired of walking, you can also find a cafe to sit down, blow the cool breeze in the alley and taste a cup of delicious afternoon tea.

sinan road, named after Jules Masnan, a French composer in the early 2th century, is a famous French-style road, a clean and romantic one-way street, with two rows of French phoenix trees covering the sun, connecting Huaihai Road and Xujiahui.

The garden houses on both sides of Sinan Road have different styles, English, French and Spanish, which tell the identity of the modern concession. The garden-style villa on Sinan Road is said to have concentrated almost all the residential styles in old Shanghai and is a living sample of Shanghai's urban history. Walking here seems to be back to that hurried and messy but still prosperous era.

Xintiandi

Xintiandi, which is close to Huaihai Road, was transformed from the old Shanghai Shikumen Alley. Now it is not only a must-see for Chinese and foreign tourists, but also a fashionable place frequented by local young people. During the day, you can come here to watch the street shooting of beautiful women and enjoy leisurely afternoon tea. At night, you can shuttle between bars and experience the exquisite life in Shanghai at night.

Compared with the small and crowded Tianzifang, Xintiandi is more spacious. All kinds of fashion shops are distributed neatly and orderly on a straight pedestrian street. Strolling through Xintiandi, there is a blue brick walkway at the foot, next to red and blue clear-water brick walls and heavy lacquer doors, which seems to go back in time, just like being in Shanghai in the old days.
