2025 Shanghai Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Under the lights of Shanghai's skyscrapers, there are many mysterious stories that have been passed down from generation to generation. Let's read and see if there are any creepy places in Shanghai that you know or have been to. Don't forget to use your discretion when reading. 1️⃣🚪Wukang Building (Pictures 1-2) Many people may have seen this building in Shanghai travel posts often. Its unusual European-style shape is one reason why many Chinese sisters stand and take pictures with this building. But do you know that this building has a creepy story hidden in it? During the Cultural Revolution, many people jumped from this building, so the locals started calling it a "springboard". One of them was a famous actress who many people said could still smell her perfume through the door of an abandoned room. Some people also said that they heard the sound of it falling on the ground. After her bedroom window slid open by itself 📍Location: 1850 Huaihai Rd (M), Xuhui District, Shanghai, China 2️⃣💃 The Paramount (Image 3) The Paramount was one of the most stylish and trendy places in Shanghai in the 1930s. The socialites would go there to dance until late into the night. Even Charlie Chaplin once went there to dance. Over time, The Paramount transformed into a dance hall where girls could be paid to dance. The most beautiful of the dancing girls was Chen Manli. Legend has it that she refused to dance with a foreign soldier, which made him so displeased that he sent someone to murder her on the dance floor. Locals say that on some nights, Chen Manli's spirit would slowly come out to dance alone. 📍Location: 218 Yuyuan Rd, Jing'an, Shanghai, China 3️⃣🚇 Caobao Rd. subway station (Image 4) The Caobao Rd. station has an unlucky location, as it is located near a morgue. (The female staff bathroom was said to have been next to the hospital's morgue.) There have been rumors of as many as nine mysterious deaths at the station. Trains inexplicably stop working. Sometimes, a woman's laughter can be heard echoing along the tracks at night. 📍Location: Caobao Rd. Metro Station (Line 1, 12) 4️⃣🐅 Cha House (Image 5) It was originally the home of the Qiu brothers, Shanghai's paint industry tycoons in the early 20th century, who collected a variety of wild animals in their garden, including peacocks, Bengal tigers, pigeons, and even crocodiles. However, after the brothers fled the mansion, the animals were eventually abandoned and died. It is said that during the building's renovation in 2009, construction workers encountered unexplained beasts and bite marks, leading many to believe that the place is filled with the evil spirits of abandoned animals. 📍Location: 420 Weihai Rd, Jing'an, Shanghai, China 5️⃣🐉 Dragon Pillar (Image 6) Among the many pillars supporting the elevated structure in Shanghai, the Dragon Pillar on East Yan'an Rd. is the most famous, not just because of its design. But the story behind the construction is that the engineers were unable to drill through the soil in that area, despite Shanghai’s normally soft soil structure, and construction was halted. A Chinese monk explained that the engineers failed to drill through the soil because they were trying to drill through the veins of a dragon, and suggested decorating the pillar with nine golden dragons. The monks then performed ancient chanting at the site for several days before the ground finally gave way. The monk died shortly after. Although some experts have come up with scientific explanations, the dragon pillar remains one of the most famous legends in Shanghai. 📍Location: Intersection of North Chengdu Rd. (成都北路) and Yan'an Rd. (延安路) 6️⃣🎶 Pacific Department Store (Image 7) The Pacific Department Store in Xu Jiahui was established in 1993. Locals know that it likes to play the classic children’s song “Bao Bei Dui Bu Qi” (Darling, I’m Sorry) over the speakers all day long, and it plays it repeatedly, to the point where people get bored and even annoyed. It is said that this mall is located on the graveyard of an orphanage. Night watchmen would often hear the cries of babies and the laughter of children even when there was no one else in the building. Therefore, a feng shui master advised them to play lullabies day and night to comfort the lingering spirits. This mall was closed in 2023. Where have you been? I'm sure many people have taken pictures with the Wu Kang building, right?

✓ Heyi Supreme Hotel During a business trip to Shanghai, I stayed at a hotel near People's Square and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. This hotel is a high-end brand under the Home Inn Group, located in a historic building that was once the Sincere Department Store, exuding a rich old Shanghai charm. The hotel combines traditional classic and modern stylish designs, incorporating elements of Eastern elegance and Western craftsmanship, offering a refined ambiance. The room I stayed in was a standard king room, with a spacious 25 square meters. The overall design was simple and comfortable, and the lobby featured many old Shanghai-style decorations. The nightly rate was approximately TWD 2,500. The hotel's location is extremely convenient, close to People's Square Station and East Nanjing Road Station on the metro. It's within walking distance to The Bund, Yuyuan Garden, and the Huaihai Road shopping district.

Chongming Island is a hidden paradise just over an hour from the hustle and bustle of Shanghai. It is filled with lush green rice fields, organic gardens, conservation areas and a slow-paced lifestyle. Must-do activities include: 🌿 Dongtan Wetlands: Home to the endangered Chinese alligator, it is also a bird sanctuary with 116 species of birds, including many rare species. During the migration season, up to 3 million birds call the island home, and the best time for bird watching is from November to March. 🍂 Dongping National Park: There are trails to explore the park and a zipline station for thrill seekers. The autumn foliage is especially beautiful. 🥬 Experience the Farm: Chongming Island is home to a variety of fruits and vegetables, and each vegetable is incredibly large. It is recommended to visit the farm and pick seasonal fruits, such as oranges and yangmei. Watch local games, take a boat ride or cycle around the farm. 🥢 Eat local food: The food here is very fresh because the vegetables are grown locally and the meat is raised in the home. The seafood is also big because Chongming Island is located by the sea. Transportation: Method 1: 🚖 Taxi or Didi (most convenient) Suitable for groups of friends or families who want to travel comfortably. It takes about an hour from downtown Shanghai, about ¥200–¥300 per trip. Method 2: 🚇 + 🚌 Subway + Express Bus (cheaper) Take subway line 1 to Wenshui Road Station (汶水路), exit 4, then take the Chongming Express Line (崇明线) bus that stops outside the station.

Anyone who goes to Shanghai must go to Shanghai Expo Culture Park. It took 7 years to build. Inside the park is very big. There are many tourist attractions. But today I would like to recommend this place, Shanghai Greenhouse, a tropical plant greenhouse. There are 3 zones with different themes. 🌿⛰ Hall 1: Sand Mirage - This hall displays desert plants. There are beautiful and rare plants, cacti and giant baobab trees that we have only seen in documentaries. Hall 2: Clouds Forest - A tropical mist forest. When you enter, you will see a simulated waterfall. It is very beautiful and magnificent. It is like being lost in a South American rainforest. There is a suspension bridge upstairs to walk and see the view and plants from a high angle. The walkway to the mist valley has a tunnel showing the underwater ecosystem. There are also salamanders to see. Hall 3: Clouds Canyon - A very mysterious mist valley. This hall has a lot of flowers. Add to that the palm trees and rocky cliff decorations, and it looks like a primeval forest in Jurassic Park. ✅ Advance booking is required to visit the Greenhouse. 🕘 Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 (Closed every Monday, except for public holidays). Last admission is at 16:30. 💰 Ticket price: 98 yuan on weekdays, 128 yuan on weekends and holidays. 🚇 Transportation: Take MRT Line 13 and get off at Shibo Avenue Station Exit 4, or Line 7 and get off at Houtan Station Exit 4.

#Overseas travel #Shanghai #China travel #China #Shanghai restaurants 🇨🇳 Shanghai, China (中国上海) 🦞 大蚝钳途 龙虾 烧烤 涮羊肉(浦江欢乐颂店) May to July is the season for Chinese crayfish (小龙虾). You can eat Chinese crayfish xiaolongxia all year round in China, but if you eat it in May to July, you can taste the meaty, seasonal xiaolongxia, so you can eat even more delicious xiaolongxia. I visited a famous Shanghai restaurant called 大蚝钳途 龙虾 烧烤 涮羊肉 (Pujiang Yue Le Fang Jian) ​​which was a 20-minute walk from the hotel I was staying at. My friend and I ordered soy sauce-based xiaolongxia with rice cakes, various skewers, and grilled seafood. This xiaolongxia restaurant surprisingly lets you choose the size of the xiaolongxia, so we chose the large xiaolongxia that was easy to spread and eat. We ordered this and paid 341 yuan. Xiaolongxia is usually eaten with spicy sauce, but I don't prefer spicy sauce, so I always order it with soy sauce-based sauce. First of all, the xiaolongxia with a sweet sauce and full of meat was so delicious. I think the head part is the best part of xiaolongxia. The grilled oysters and scallops that I ordered together were soft and had a nice garlic flavor, which made me applaud! I also ordered various skewers such as pork belly, beef, and beef cartilage. All the menu items were so delicious. If you are traveling to China during the Xiaolongxia season, you must try Xiaolongxia (小龙虾) 🦞🇨🇳♥️

🛍️✨🇨🇳 If you are a shopaholic, you must not miss visiting Nanjing Road. There are many famous brand shops here, including food, drinks, and clothes. 💕✨ A cute guide to Miniso, a large gift shop in China that has a lot of cute licensed merchandise from Disney and Sanrio. The Hello Kitty collection is currently popular. There are a lot of products here. This is a 4-story building, divided into different types of products, making it easy to walk around and find things. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ There are a variety of products at various prices and they are of good quality. I really like them. ⚠️ If you go during the day, there will be a lot of people. You have to wait in line to enter the store. I recommend going on weekdays when there are fewer people. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #ShanghaiTravel #gmmsdiary #journey #Travel #BackpackingTravel #TravelChina #Shanghai #TravelChinaByYourself #Shanghai2025 #RecommendDeliciousRestaurant

🥐 Hello, Starbucks fans... Today, Gammy is on West Nanjing Road, Shanghai, looking for a luxury cafe in the heart of Shanghai. I was so amazed when I found it. ☕️ STARBUCKS RESERVE ROASTERY is a large coffee shop decorated in a luxurious style, befitting the brand. There are many beverages and freshly roasted coffee beans are produced in the shop. 🥨 Souvenirs with unique patterns of this city are available in many varieties, including coffee cups, water bottles, cloth bags, and coffee beans. 🍵 There are many seats, many photo spots, and many people as well. 🍯 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #gmmsdiary #travelshanghai #journey #travel #backpacking #travelchina #shanghai #travelchinabyyourself #shanghai2025 #pointoutdeliciousrestaurants

Last month, I finally fulfilled my dream of traveling by cruise ship, checking off an item on my life bucket list. With summer vacation in full swing, many friends around me want to take their families on a relaxing sea getaway~ Here’s a super-detailed guide I’ve put together for everyone! **About Dining** Before boarding, I was worried about not being used to foreign cuisine, but surprisingly, 50% of the food here is Chinese, and it’s à la carte—and free! As someone who loves late-night snacks, this cruise caters perfectly to night owls like me, with restaurants open 20 hours a day. Pro tip: The paid restaurants are also fantastic, especially the crepes and ice cream! **About Entertainment** I never expected such a wide range of activities on board—London Theatre shows, an indoor heated pool, and a water park perfect for summer! √ **London Theatre Shows | Themed Parties** The live atmosphere is electric, with dazzling performances and fun interactive games. √ **Indoor Heated Pool** Who knew you could soak in warm water while surrounded by the ocean? So relaxing—feel the sea breeze and let go of all work stress. √ **Arizona Water Park** With summer approaching, this is the perfect spot to cool off. It’s huge, with activities for all ages! **Photo Spots** √ **Swarovski Crystal Staircase** I’d heard this staircase was Instagram-worthy, and seeing it in person was even better—absolutely stunning! √ **Outdoor Deck** I’ve always wanted to watch a sunset at sea. Here, you can enjoy the evening breeze with your loved ones, sip some wine, and take breathtaking photos from the second floor. √ **Honor Avenue** A dazzling dreamlike canopy—look up and snap away! The whole stretch is photogenic. **About Cabins** I absolutely loved my ocean-view room. It’s the perfect place to unwind and watch the sunset in peace. Higher floors offer better views! **Travel Tips for Free Exploration:** In Jeju Island, take a taxi to Hamdeok Beach → Udo Island → Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak. On the second day, enjoy a citywalk in the downtown area.

✨Shanghai Bund Check-in Guide: Get breathtaking river views for 2 yuan, capture cinematic shots at hidden spots✨ How can you miss the golden hour at the Bund when visiting Shanghai? Here’s my secret way to experience it: wait from 6 to 7 PM for the lights to come on, and watch the century-old buildings instantly transform into a dazzling "Wall Street"! (Highlight: The ferry ticket is cheaper than coffee!) 🌆【Must-Visit Spots】 1️⃣ Jinling East Road Ferry Station (2 yuan/person) 👉 Head straight to the right side of the 2nd-floor deck 👉 The 5:30 PM ferry perfectly captures the "Lujiazui Four Towers + sunset glow" ⚠️ Avoid the 6:30 PM rush hour or you’ll be packed like sardines 2️⃣ Beijing East Road Intersection (next to The Peninsula Hotel) 👉 Use a telephoto lens to compress the space 👉 Frame the "Oriental Pearl Tower" inside the arch of an old Western-style building 👉 The light and shadows are best around 4 PM 3️⃣ Waibaidu Bridge Lovers’ Wall 👉 Magical contrast between the steel bridge structure and distant skyscrapers 👉 Fewer people and more beautiful views after the lights come on, 100 times quieter than the main Bund area ☑️【Hard-earned Tips】 × Don’t trust the 120 yuan sightseeing bus! It shows the same river view as the 2 yuan ferry × The fewest people are from 7 to 8 AM, you can have the entire Bund to yourself × All viewing platforms are free! Search "Bund Viewing Platform" on Amap for navigation 🏨【Accommodation Bonus】 Staying at Hanting near Nanjing East Road Metro Station is a game-changer! → 10-minute walk to the Bund → Room windows offer a view of the pointed Oriental Pearl Tower → Convenient for late-night snacks (recommend the old local restaurant on Gansu Road)

Ah~~😱~~ Is this the LV Group I know? ! This unique "THE LOUIS" is super gaudy! ! 🚢 Good at using breakthrough architecture to redefine the urban landscape, in the most prosperous Nanjing West Road business district in Jing'an District, the world's only giant LV cruise ship, with a metal Monogram pattern on the hull, replicating the classic suitcase shape, has become a new landmark in Shanghai💕 🚢 It was only opened at the end of June. When I went there, I could only appreciate it from the outside. It is definitely more beautiful at night than during the day; the three-story shiny LV cruise ship looks like a giant aluminum ship, with a signature stacked suitcase on the top, paying tribute to LV's century-old box-making history, and also echoing Shanghai's port culture as the gateway to the East~! 🚢 This should be the hottest check-in spot in Shanghai this summer🥰 I have already started to see online video sharing: Not only can you visit design exhibitions and buy brand boutiques here, but you can also go to the rooftop cafe to enjoy a high-end feast. Make an appointment quickly~ I personally think that there is something wrong with the aesthetics this time. Is it because of the local customs?😂 #Shanghai Landmark #LVMH #Shanghai Must Visit #Landmark Building #Shanghai Good Place
