Boarding the Crystal Princess is like stepping into a dreamland. As the boat sails on the river, the lights on both sides are bright, and the historical buildings on the Bund and the skyscrapers in Pudong complement each other. The ship has luxurious facilities and delicious food. This night cruise is a feast for both vision and taste, intoxicating and unforgettable.
Shanghai, this charming city, has unique stories in every corner. When you step on the cruise ship of the Bund Source of Suzhou River, you will start a wonderful journey of in-depth dialogue with this city.
The cruise ship slowly sets sail from the Bund Source Pier, and the breeze brushes your cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness. The Bund Source, as the core area of the Bund's historical and cultural features, gathers many buildings of different styles. They are like three-dimensional history books, silently telling the past of Shanghai. Various architectural styles such as British, French, and Gothic are intertwined, exuding unique charm in the sun.
As the cruise ship moves forward, Waibaidu Bridge comes into view. This century-old bridge spans the Suzhou River, connecting Huangpu District and Hongkou District, and is one of the iconic buildings in Shanghai. It has witnessed countless historical changes and carries the memory of this city. The lines of the bridge are simple and smooth, and against the backdrop of the river, it is even more simple and elegant. Standing on the cruise ship, looking up at the Waibaidu Bridge, and taking a beautiful photo with the "Shanghai Three-piece Set", it seems that Shanghai's past and present are all in your pocket.
As the cruise ship moves, Shanghai Mansion, Sichuan Road Bridge, Shanghai Postal Museum and other attractions appear one after another. Shanghai Mansion is like an elegant gentleman, standing quietly on the Suzhou River, overlooking the prosperity of the city; Sichuan Road Bridge, as an important transportation hub, is busy with traffic, showing the vitality of the city; and Shanghai Postal Museum is like a time treasure box, the ancient postboxes and precious cultural relics in the museum, under the sunshine, seem to be telling the century-old development of Shanghai's postal industry.
When the cruise ship approaches the Sihang Warehouse Anti-Japanese War Memorial, a solemn atmosphere comes to the face. This vicissitudes of life building carries the epic history of the Anti-Japanese War. It makes people remember the heroic deeds of the heroes and also makes people feel the indomitable spirit of this city.
On the Suzhou River Bund Cruise, you can not only appreciate the historical buildings and cultural landscapes along the coast, but also feel the unique charm of Shanghai. It has both the prosperity and bustle of a modern metropolis and the tranquility and thickness of historical culture. Whether it is a sunny day or a night with lights on, taking a cruise to visit the Suzhou River Bund is an unforgettable experience, as if reading a flowing poem, with every chapter full of surprises and touches.

Lujiazui, as a financial center and city landmark in Shanghai, does have many highlights worth mentioning. The following are my real comments on Lujiazui, hoping to help you better understand this bustling area: Advantages: Modern skyline: Lujiazui has the most representative skyscrapers in Shanghai, such as Shanghai World Financial Center, Jinmao Building, Shanghai Central Building, etc. The architecture is unique and the night view is particularly spectacular, making it a great place to take pictures and punch in. Rich business and entertainment: There are many high-end shopping centers (such as Zhengda Plaza, IFC Mall), luxury hotels and a variety of restaurants, from international cuisine to local characteristics, to meet different needs. Convenient transportation: subway and bus lines are developed, convenient to reach other areas of the city, convenient transportation. Beautiful riverside landscape: The riverside trail along the Huangpu River is suitable for walking, running or enjoying the city lights in the night, especially on holidays or special holidays, where light shows and fireworks are unforgettable. Inadequate: crowded: holiday or weekend, tourists and locals are many, may feel crowded, affecting the experience. Higher prices: dining, shopping and accommodation here are generally expensive, may not be very friendly for budget tourists. Strong business atmosphere: Lujiazui may feel too modern and cold if you prefer a more cultural or historical area. Overall evaluation: Lujiazui is a modern and prosperous area, very suitable for people who like urban landscapes, night views and high-end shopping experiences. Although the flow of people is dense and the price is high, its unique skyline and riverside scenery are definitely worth seeing. If you like the busy and modern architecture of the city, Lujiazui is definitely a must visit place in Shanghai.
Lujiazui is the "financial heart" of Shanghai and a microcosm of the prosperity of modern cities. There are many high-rise buildings here, including the Shanghai Tower, the Shanghai World Financial Center, and the Jinmao Tower, which are towering into the sky. Standing on the top floor and looking down, you can see the winding Huangpu River and the Bund's international buildings. The view is amazing.
The streets are clean and tidy, the glass curtain walls are shining in the sun, and the pedestrians are walking hurriedly, showing the vitality of the city. Binjiang Avenue is a good place to rest. You can watch the cruise ships passing by in the river breeze. The night view of the Bund on the opposite bank and the neon lights here complement each other, which is romantic and shocking. The subway network is well-connected and the transportation is convenient, but the flow of people is large during peak hours in the morning and evening. Whether it is to feel the pulse of finance or check in landmark buildings, Lujiazui can make people feel the speed and height of Shanghai.

The lights are beautiful, the streets are bright, there are a lot of food on the road, small gifts are distributed at the entrance, and blessing plaques are given. It feels like you are spending money to consume and watching advertisements.
The moment you step into the vermilion lacquer gate, the heat of sandalwood and crab soup dumplings hits you in the face. The copper bells hanging under the eaves jingle, but they can't suppress the electronic female voice of scanning code payment. In the hall, young people wearing trendy brands hold electronic lotus lanterns and hesitate in front of the LED wishing screen whether to choose "get rich quickly" or "get out of singleness".
The Nine-Curved Bridge is the most magical: tourists holding selfie sticks and egrets holding silver fish are in the same frame, and in the glass window of the Green Wave Gallery, state-level snacks and Internet celebrity milk tea coexist strangely. At the corner, the old stall owner selling pear paste candy knocks the gong, and the sound waves hit the holographic projection of the God of Wealth opposite, breaking into a cyberpunk incense ash.

Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is really one of the classic landmarks that must be visited in Shanghai. This time I went shopping with my friends and played for a full 4 hours. I felt that the time was not enough. There are tall buildings on both sides of the street, modern and historical buildings are intertwined, and there are various brand flagship stores, snacks, and souvenir shops along the way, which can satisfy shopping, eating, drinking and having fun in one stop. Especially the scenery in the direction of the Bund is super shocking. You can see the skyscrapers in Pudong and the scenery of the Huangpu River. It has its own charm both during the day and at night.
The pedestrian street is very popular, the street performers are very interesting, and occasionally you can encounter various creative exhibitions or flash events, which always allow people to find new surprises. This place is suitable for friends to play together, and it is also suitable for family and children or couples to date. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, the sense of security is strong, and the public security is good.
In terms of cost performance, Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is free to open, shopping itself does not cost money, shopping and food consumption are flexible, and there are rich choices. If you are tired, there are many cafes and dessert shops along the street to take a rest.
Tips: It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes because you will really walk for a long time. It is recommended to take pictures near the Bund, where the view is particularly good. There are more people on holidays or weekends, so it is recommended to go out early for a better experience.
In short, Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is a must-see attraction for friends who come to Shanghai for the first time. It is worth strolling slowly and savoring it carefully. . .
There are a lot of people, it's very lively, and there are a lot of people checking in. It's still very good to take pictures here, and it feels like a good movie. - Taikang Soup Dumpling Restaurant: A time-honored soup restaurant in Shanghai, with special delicacies such as crab roe soup dumplings and fresh meat dumplings.
M Bean Chocolate World: You can experience pulling colorful chocolate beans, which is full of fun.
Harbin Food Factory in Shanghai Harbin: Butterfly cakes and apricot strips are its signature snacks.
Lao Xiangzhai: Chicken biscuits and moss strips are individually packaged for easy storage and carrying.

The highlight, "Eternal Love", combines a variety of artistic forms such as acrobatics, singing and dancing, and drama, tracing the history of Shanghai, recalling the past and cherishing the present. Not only is the scene shocking and watchable, but it is also very educational, reminding everyone to cherish the hard-earned happy life today, and it is absolutely worth the ticket price. The 5D live-action drama "The Great Earthquake" truly restores the scene of the Wenchuan earthquake. It adopts a novel performance form of recruiting tourists as extras, making everyone feel more involved, and there is no sense of extras during the performance. The plot revolves around a couple and a mother and daughter, full of family affection, and is quite touching. Finally, there is a water carnival in the outdoor children's water play area, and the children are so high that they don't want to go home.

Tickets purchased online can be boarded at the designated pier with a QR code, which is very convenient!
You can arrive at the pier earlier and quickly get on board to find a seat with a good view in the cabin.
The entire tour process has a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Pujiang River, and it is even more beautiful to take pictures on the open deck.
You can bring your own food on board, sit and eat, watch and chat, beautiful, beautiful!
Taking a boat tour on the Huangpu River is a great option and highly recommended for visitors at evening. It’s pretty good value too. Try to go on a clear day so you can enjoy the calm waters and take in the stunning mix of bustling city life and historic charm along both banks. Don’t do that on days, go on nights only!

It's great to go during the Spring Festival. The place is big and there are fewer people than many amusement parks. You can basically play in a 20-minute queue. Adults and children can have fun. There are also many folk performances. At the end, we also watched the fireworks show.
Happy Valley is more suitable for cool weather. All the rides are outdoors, and the queues are also in the outdoor area. There are not many people in summer, and you can basically get a queue within 20 minutes. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the park, so it is recommended to wear long pants.

Overall, it's a good place for children, with very few visitors. Buying tickets a day in advance offers incredible discounts. The park's hardware, roads, landscaping, and rides are a notch below those of Disney and Universal Studios. Staff training is inadequate, and meals are currently 50% off. The location is quite remote, so I wouldn't go back again.
A colorful park with short lines and 50% off dining in July and August. During the scorching summer heat, Shanghai Legoland features mostly outdoor attractions, but children who enjoy building blocks can spend a whole day at the indoor "Police Headquarters" attraction. Highly recommended for children under 12.
