📍Attraction Address: The Bund is located on Zhongshan East First Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai. It starts from Waibaidu Bridge in the north and ends at Jinling East Road in the south. ⏰Best time to visit: During the day, you can appreciate the architectural style, but be sure to protect yourself from the sun in summer. Nighttime is the highlight of the Bund, with dazzling lights from 7 pm to 9 pm, perfect for taking photos. The skyscrapers of Lujiazui across the river complement each other, creating a dreamy scene. 🚗Transportation Guide: 🚇Take Subway Line 2 or Line 10 to Nanjing East Road Station. The Bund is just a few minutes' walk from the station, making it convenient and fast. 🚌Although there are many bus routes to nearby stops, the Bund is often congested, and buses can take a long time, so it's not the best option. 🚗Driving is not recommended, as parking spaces are scarce, traffic control is complicated, and parking is difficult to find. 💗Other tips: 🌟Enjoy the night view: The Bund at night is dazzling and romantic. The landmark buildings across the river in Lujiazui, such as the Oriental Pearl Tower, Jin Mao Tower, and World Financial Center, are brightly lit and offer a spectacular view. 🌟World Architecture Expo Group: The 52 classical revival buildings each have their own unique characteristics, showcasing the former glory of the "Wall Street of the Far East." The harmony and beauty are unique, and each building has a rich history. 🌟Waibaidu Bridge: The northern starting point of the Bund, the bridge where Yi Ping jumped into the river in the TV series "Romance in the Rain," is worth a stroll. 🌟Yuanmingyuan Road: A small street hidden behind the World Architecture Expo Group, it is a microcosm of old Shanghai's "Ten Mile Foreign Field," a popular spot for photos. 🌟Bund Art Museum: If you are interested in modern art, you can spend an hour or two visiting. The entrance fee is 60 yuan. The permanent exhibition features modern art masterpieces, and there are free explanations every day to help you understand the meaning of the works.

As the winter chill settled over Shanghai, the city’s skyline glittered under a sea of lights, but there was something special that drew crowds from all corners of the bustling metropolis. Nestled in the heart of this vibrant city was a little slice of Germany—its charm wrapped in the festive atmosphere of a traditional Christmas market. From the moment I stepped into the market, I was transported far from the neon streets of Shanghai. The air was filled with the rich scent of mulled wine, roasted chestnuts, and freshly baked gingerbread. Wooden stalls lined the market square, each adorned with twinkling lights and handcrafted decorations, offering a mix of festive delights and traditional German treasures. It definitely shows Shanghai’s diverse blend of cultures come together in a shared moment of holiday joy, exchanging smiles as they embrace the season's spirit. This German Christmas market in Shanghai wasn’t just a celebration of holiday traditions—it was a reminder that, no matter where we are in the world, we share the same hopes, dreams, and joy this time of year brings. In that magical space, the spirit of Christmas was alive and thriving, a beautiful reminder that the world is smaller than we think when we gather in the spirit of love and togetherness. . . . #Shanghai #shanghai #traveldiaries #deliciousfood #christmasmarket #christmas #germanchrismasmarketinshanghai #china

#triptravelchina #christmastravel 🔥🔥Following Shanghai Christmas 🎄✨ This year's real atmosphere!!! Christkindlmarkt on the Bund 2024 - The German Christmas Market 📆 27 Nov - 28 Dec (open Wednesday-Sunday) The event is not too small or too big. It takes about 1-2 hours to walk around. It emphasizes the atmosphere and European food. There are a lot of German sausages, burgers, and hot chocolates. There are also snacks such as cakes. We chose to eat sausages and bread. The shop below is not sure what it is called, but it looks like a tower next to a Christmas tree. The price is about 55 yuan (270 baht). I have to admit that I wanted to eat it since last year. The event looks the same. I don't know if it's the same shop, but it's delicious!!! The sausages are firm and served with some kind of side dish and bread. You can buy them and take them to eat at the semi-corner tables near the Christmas tree. In addition to food, there are also Christmas-themed photo spots. There is also a carousel. Last year, it seemed like there was Santa (try looking at the schedule on WeChat. There is a time to tell Santa that he will come this year). I would like to recommend that anyone who is convenient buy tickets in advance. Today, I secretly saw a sign like Tickets at the venue are sold out. Only those who have purchased in advance can enter. But when we went, they were hidden and hadn't set up yet. 📍Beijing Dongzhi/圆明园路(路口) Yuanmingyuan Lu/East Beijing Road ***Get off at East Nanjing Station, Exit 6 💵 Entrance fee: - Presale 30¥ - At the venue 40¥ (We booked by scanning the QR Code on the event poster as attached in the last picture.

The Bending Girl is here! This spot at the Bund Source is simply a blessing for artistic youths and photography enthusiasts! One day, I happened to pass by and was attracted by a sculpture surrounded by a crowd. Only after asking did I realize that this was the legendary Bending Girl sculpture! Really, seeing it with your own eyes feels completely different, that serene beauty tinged with a hint of sadness compels you to bow your head as well, immersing yourself in her world. 📸 For photography lovers, this place is really super photogenic! Whether it's the soft morning sunlight or the evening lights, both add a different atmosphere to the Bending Girl. Moreover, the background of the Bund Source itself has a lot of character, a blend of classical and modern, plus such a storytelling sculpture, it's simply a perfect backdrop for photos. Moreover, this is not just a great place for taking pictures, it also made me think deeply. The Bending Girl stands there so quietly, as if she is telling something. Everyone sees and feels something different, which is perhaps the charm of art! Ladies, next time you go to the Bund Source, don't just pass by in a hurry, stop and have a deep gaze with the Bending Girl! Just rush towards it and that's it~

Strolling along Waibaidu Bridge and Yuanmingyuan Road 🚶, soaking up the sun, feeling the buzz, unexpectedly meeting Zheng Kai and Cook also wandering the Bund, with impressive English, encountering pretty girls posing for photos, and stumbling upon the new Xiaomi car (presumably being advertised). This is the most colorful Bund of the four seasons, and also the most beautiful time, the coffee by the Suzhou River is ready to be enjoyed. Tips: The tulips 🌷 at Waibaidu Bridge are fewer than in the past two years, and the poppies have disappeared, but the old Shanghai charm is still strong. Yuanmingyuan Road offers the best view for photographing the Oriental Pearl Tower 💎, a favorite location for wedding dresses and advertisements. Nearby is the workplace of Miss Wang from the novel 'Blossoms'.

This route is less than 2 kilometers in total, right? The scenery is beautiful and it's not tiring to take photos. First-time visitors to Shanghai can stay at: 📍Postal Museum A historically significant and beautiful building, established in 1924, with a rich collection of exhibits. No appointment is necessary, you can go directly. 📍Suzhou River Cruise 4⃣️ docks, multiple routes. They are Waibaidu Bridge Dock, Sihang Warehouse Dock, Changhua Road Dock, and Changfeng Park Dock. The ticket price is 60-100 yuan. 💡Reminder: It's suitable for taking a stroll but not ideal for photography. The enclosed cabin reflects light severely, so it's better not to board the ship if you want to take night views. It's more beautiful to take photos of the cruise from the bridge. 📍Yuanmingyuan Road This short hidden gem road has many beautiful old buildings such as New Tian'an Church, Yuanmingyuan Apartments, Ampere Trading House, and Xiejin Building. 📍Yifeng Waibaidu Source The red brick wall is very eye-catching, and you can see the Oriental Pearl Tower. Many wedding photos are taken here. 📍Securities Museum Located in the Pujiang Hotel (formerly known as the Lichafan Hotel), it was established in 1846 and relocated to its current location in 1857. In 1907, it was expanded into a Victorian Baroque-style building with neoclassical features. 📍Waibaidu Bridge The "grandmother bridge" in the hearts of old Shanghai residents. It has appeared in many TV dramas and movies. 📍The Bund International Architecture Group No need to elaborate, the most beautiful night view of Shanghai is here, and it's always crowded. 📍Jinling East Road Ferry Terminal Take a one-way trip on the cost-effective ferry for only 2 yuan to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Bund. Remember to check the last schedule in advance on the "Shanghai Ferry" app and catch the sunset. It's absolutely breathtaking.

Behind the Bund, there is a charming little road Historically, Yuanmingyuan Road was a road with only a single side of street facade, facing a large green area of the British Consulate. The buildings on this road are neatly arranged, continuous and varied in style, depicting the vicissitudes of Shanghai over the past 100 years. After the British Consulate was built at the confluence of the Huangpu River and the Suzhou River in 1855, the area around Yuanmingyuan Road, which was opened up, quickly became a gathering place for foreign consulates, associations of Western countries, cultural institutions and foreign firms, making Yuanmingyuan Road one of the roads with the densest historical buildings. Main buildings include: Ampere Foreign Firm Yuanmingyuan Apartments YWCA Building Hami Building (formerly Shami Building) Co-prosperity Building Orchid Heart Building True Light Building

Wandering near the Bund provides beautiful views anytime of day or night. #staycation

Since the first % coffee shop opened, it has planted grass, but because people often talk about it, because the store is small, there are many people, so they have not gone. Recently, a new coffee shop opened on the Bund Mingyuan Road in the Bund. Today it is on Nanjing East Road. You must pull this grass. I haven't come to Yuanmingyuan Road for many years. I have completely changed. There are almost no tourists on the pedestrian street. There are several coffee shops along the street. The storefront looks simple and comfortable. There are not many coffee makers in the coffee shop. Its unexpected to finish the coffee and sit down for a while. Because I don't drink too much acid coffee, I bought a latte according to my habits. The cup type varies from small to large, and the coffee tastes great!
