Unlock the century-old Dragon Boat Festival in Luodian Ancient Town, all the joy of the Dragon Boat Festival in summer is here!

Not long ago, at a certain intangible cultural heritage exhibition, I accidentally learned about the Luodian Ancient Town in the magic city of Wuli, and there are so many hidden skills: Luodian folk paintings, Luodian colored lanterns, Luodian Flower God, and Luodian dragon boats. So, as an action-oriented person, I immediately asked my friends to join the excitement of the Dragon Boat Festival. 👉 Meilan Lake Address: Lane 358, Nianji Road, Baoshan District, Meilan Lake Scenic Area This is the main venue for the annual Luodian century-old Dragon Boat Festival. Although there are still a few days left before the Dragon Boat Festival, there are already many colorful dragon boats on the lake, shuttling back and forth, and various training and rehearsals have already amazed people! It is said that the officially certified Luodian intangible cultural heritage dragon boat is mainly for viewing rather than pure competition, no wonder the teams show off various skills like lying rowing, back rowing, and chain turning. 👉 Baoshan Temple Address: No. 518, Luoxi Road, Luodian Town, Baoshan District To this day, it is still the uniquely awarded Luban Prize super beautiful temple. Every year around the Dragon Boat Festival, Baoshan Temple's Gion will have a very creative Gion elegant gathering, where you can browse, shop, and feel the charm of intangible cultural heritage at zero distance. Such a market is too amazing! 👉 Aunt Wu's Local Specialty Snacks (Tingqian Street Store) Address: No. 15-9, Tingqian Street, Luodian Town, Baoshan District Thanks to Aunt Wu, who became famous for her grass-head pancakes, you can also eat her grass-head big meat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, which are equally delicious. 👉 Datong Bridge Address: The intersection of Tingqian Street and Nanlong Street Alley, Luodian Town, Baoshan District The ancient Ming Dynasty stone arch bridge has become one of the landmarks of the ancient town, silently connecting the fireworks atmosphere of both sides of the ancient town for hundreds of years.

Just wrapped up an epic escape to Shanghai and trust me—this city is an absolute vibe! 🌆✨ Between dazzling skylines and jaw-dropping history, Shanghai proves why it’s the ultimate blend of East meets West. Everything’s clean, modern, and super accessible, making exploring a breeze for first-timers and pro travelers alike. Top Spots to Visit in Shanghai 1. The Bund (Waitan) 🌃 You simply *cannot* skip this. The Bund serves up world-famous views of Shanghai’s futuristic skyline, and the riverside promenade is ideal for Insta-worthy evening strolls. Go after sunset when the Pudong skyscrapers light up for the best vibe. 2. Yuyuan Garden & Old City Step back centuries at Yuyuan—this stunning classical garden is surrounded by the bustling Old City. Wander traditional alleys, shop quirky souvenirs, and taste classic snacks (try xiaolongbao!) at the bazaar just outside the garden (No. 218 Anren St, open 8:45am–4:45pm). 3. Nanjing Road 🛍️ Shanghai’s glitzy pedestrian street is retail heaven—high-end shops, local brands, food everywhere. Pro tip: In the evening, the neon lights are next-level. Start snapping! 4. Xintiandi This walkable, car-free district oozes style—restored “shikumen” stone-gate houses mixed with hip cafés and lively nightlife. Getting Around 🚇 Metro is the GOAT here—cheap, clean, English signage everywhere. Grab a transport card at any station (refund it before you leave!). Eat This! Don’t leave without eating soup dumplings (xiaolongbao—try them in Yuyuan or Jia Jia Tang Bao), plus crispy shengjianbao at breakfast spots. Top Tips Shanghai is super safe, cashless payments are king (Alipay/WeChat Pay), and most sights take card. Weather? Bring a light rain jacket most months. #ShanghaiAdventures #TheBundViews #CityEscapes #EatYourWayShanghai #EastMeetsWest
