#ShanghaiTravel Shanghai Walking Tour Review: From People's Park to The Bund Shanghai is a vibrant city, and the best way to experience its atmosphere is to explore on your own. A recommended route is to start at People's Park, a central park teeming with greenery and a hub of local activity. You'll witness fascinating glimpses of Shanghai life, including elderly people practicing tai chi and dancing, or groups of parents looking for partners for their children at a flea market. From People's Park, you can walk along the main road to The Bund, or Wai Tan Beach. Along the way, you'll experience the city's modern side, with its luxury brand stores and towering skyscrapers. Upon reaching The Bund, you'll be greeted by breathtaking views of the Huangpu River, lined with historic European buildings on one side, and the Pudong district, lined with cutting-edge skyscrapers on the other. This idyllic blend of old and new is especially stunning at night, when the buildings are illuminated. This Shanghai walking route offers a variety of experiences, from the tranquility of the park to the bustling commercial districts, with breathtaking views. Explore Shanghai on your own terms and you'll surely fall in love with it.
