Accommodation
Central Hotel Shanghai or similar (4-star)
Begin at the Bund, where historic waterfront buildings line the river and face the modern skyline across the water. Continue to Yu Garden, a Ming Dynasty classical garden with traditional pavilions, ponds, and rock formations that show a different side of Shanghai’s historic character.
Next, visit Fuxing Park, a landscaped public park where local residents gather for daily activities. Continue to Bugaoli, also known as Cité Bourgogne, a residential area with traditional laneways and mixed architectural styles. During the visit, you can try local snacks from nearby stalls before spending the afternoon at the Shanghai Museum, home to ancient Chinese bronzes, ceramics, paintings, calligraphy, and other cultural relics.
The Bund developed as one of Shanghai’s best-known waterfront areas because of its concentration of historic buildings facing the Huangpu River.
