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

On the bustling Nanjing West Road in Shanghai, a "giant ship" in red and silver is setting sail—the world's first "Louis Vuitton Ship" concept landmark has officially opened. This is not just a building, but an extraordinary journey that blends art, culture, and innovation. The "Louis Vuitton Ship" has a total area of 1,600 square meters and features three levels of experiential spaces, officially opening on June 28th. ⏰ June 26: Celebrity Event ⏰ June 27: VIP Experience ⏰ June 28: Official Opening to the Public, with the store innovatively combining three formats: "exhibition + retail + dining" From a distance, it looks like a ship about to set sail. Up close, it's filled with classic Louis Vuitton trunk elements—rivets, clasps, and the Monogram print, with every detail meticulously crafted. During the day, it's an elegant and sophisticated "ship," and at night, the interplay of red and blue lights creates a romantic and dreamy atmosphere. Every snapshot is a masterpiece! Its unique design is inspired by the legendary history of Louis Vuitton's hard trunks created for transoceanic voyages in the 19th century and also pays tribute to Shanghai's brilliant history as an international shipping hub. Let's embark on the Louis Vuitton "Extraordinary Journey" together, to experience the craftsmanship and listen to the collision of art and exploration. 📍 Address: Shanghai Xingye Taikoo Hui (No. 288, Shimen 1st Road, Jing'an District) ⏰ Opening Date: June 28

#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) 🦞🇨🇳♥️

🍞 Shanghai APOLI ITABAKERY – A 'Harry Potter Vibe' Bakery in the French Concession Located near Wukang Mansion at 380 Xingguo Road in Shanghai's French Concession, APOLI ITABAKERY has quickly become a popular Instagram hotspot. Known as the 'Harry Potter Magical Bakery' among dessert lovers and influencers, it stands out for its unique atmosphere and visuals. 🎨 Interior & Ambiance The interior features stone walls, terrazzo tile flooring, and dried flowers adorning the building, creating a magical vibe reminiscent of an old European bakery. The warm lighting and charming decor make it a perfect spot for photographers to capture stunning shots. 🥐 Menu & Prices The bakery specializes in **Italian-style savory bread**, offering options like 'Pastrami Beef + Pickles,' 'Thick Bacon + Anchovies,' and 'Slow-cooked Chicken + Black Truffle.' These generously filled breads are priced reasonably, mostly around 20 RMB. For desserts, they offer treats like Blueberry Butter Condensed Milk, Maritozzo, Truffle Ham Toast, Cinnamon Butter Roll, and Blueberry Tart. A Japanese blogger praised the bakery, saying, "I bought seven items for 104 RMB, and each one was substantial and reasonably priced." 📈 Popularity & Wait Times The bakery is so popular that long queues form daily. Since its opening, waiting in line has become a common sight, with social media platforms like Weibo and Lemon8 dubbing it the "Harry Potter Bakery." However, on hot days or during peak hours, you might have to wait over an hour, so visiting early is highly recommended.

The Bund Bull, a bronze bull statue is another check-in point when visiting Shanghai that you can't miss.

If you are facing the Pearl Tower, walk to the right for about 500 meters. It is in front of Bangkok Bank (on the opposite side of the road). #ShanghaiTravel #ShanghaiTravel #TheBund #shanghai

Shanghai is the largest city in China, and it is a fusion of Chinese culture and modernity, and the East and the West, making each building and street attractive.

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

I always think that the latest and coolest consumer experience is right to come to Shanghai. Although I have some imagination about the palace banquet, it is just like the specifications of the ancient emperor's banquet. It is a feast for the eyes and the details are really in place. I highly recommend it 👍next level! 🌟From a girl's perspective, "I am here to wear ancient costumes"! There are so many beautiful styles of Hanfu, such as chest-length skirts, large-sleeved shirts, and horse-faced skirts. It is best to come at 5 o'clock to choose and take pictures. When the dinner starts at 7 o'clock, it will not be so smooth to take pictures when there are too many people~ 📷 Before 6 o'clock, use your makeup and makeup to welcome the golden shooting time! There are almost no people in the hall, and the whole scene is like you have reserved it🤣The carved beams and painted buildings, red lanterns, and screen pavilions are very atmospheric, and it looks like a movie blockbuster no matter how you take it! 🍱The overall food is quite satisfactory, not as bad as the Internet says! After each performance, a dish will be served, and the historical story will be introduced according to the light projection of the dish. The performers' costume dance is delicate and moving, and it is quite atmospheric💕 ✔️Similar to Japanese omakase, you can eat one dish at a time. Before the main banquet begins, you can choose your favorite tea cup, eat snacks with a small pot of Dahongpao for each person; and "maids" will add sweet wine that looks a bit like fermented rice! 💰Banquet prices are divided into lunch and dinner -Lunch: VIP seat 498 yuan/person, banquet seat 398 yuan/person -Dinner: VIP seat 698 yuan/person, banquet seat 498 yuan/person 👗About changing clothes -Clothing and hairstyle: 100 yuan/person -Clothing, hairstyle and makeup: 200 yuan/person (If you go on your birthday, makeup and photos are free, saving 200 yuan directly 📍Building 1, No. 1485, Beijing West Road, Jing'an Temple Street #Shanghai Travel #Palace Banquet #Shanghai Store Exploration#Costume Performance

Shanghai Fumao International Hotel is a newly opened high-end business and resort hotel located in the bustling metropolitan area of Shanghai. It combines modern art design with the essence of Haipai culture to create a luxurious yet practical travel experience. After debating between a king bed and twin beds for a long time, I just wanted to lie down all day. I love King Koil mattresses, which are used in hundreds of hotels I stay at every year, especially high-end ones. I always sleep very soundly on them. The room is also equipped with a Haier washer-dryer combo, laundry detergent, and a handheld steamer—very well equipped! The TOTO bathtub paired with Gaomei toiletries offers a top-notch experience!! You can really soak in this big bathtub! The minibar has drinks, tea, and coffee, and the value for money is pretty good. Facilities: Hotel parking: Free during your stay!! Remember to get a parking voucher at the front desk; Wedding lawn: A princess dream come true, so romantic SOS Travel tips: Qiantan Taikoo Li: Metro Line 8, a super popular commercial complex; Sanlin Old Street: Local history of Shanghai, the old street is really chill; Disneyland, The Bund, Miracle Garden... attractions and photo spots are all nearby!

I have always liked the non-modern side of Shanghai. The French Concession area with a literary and historical filter is my favorite and I never get tired of it. I heard that after Koreans were exempted from visas to China, Shanghai was packed every weekend. It was amazing to see the grand occasion with my own eyes. 🤣 🌟 Young people gathered and spread out around the Wukang Building. It might take three days and three nights to write about the French Concession. From a personal perspective, I recommend only going to one must-visit place "Walking on Wukang Road". It's like opening a three-dimensional historical picture album that combines European architecture, Shanghai culture and celebrity anecdotes~ With a cup of coffee, it's super beautiful! 🏡 Wukang Building One of the most famous landmarks in Shanghai, encounter a century of retro romance, the second floor of the opposite post office is the best place to take pictures! 🏡 Former Residence of Soong Ching Ling The French-style villa with red tiles and white walls retains the life scenes of Soong Ching Ling during her lifetime and witnessed her later years~ 🏡 Romeo Balcony The Spanish-style balcony is famous for its resemblance to the scene in "Romeo and Juliet", and the romantic index is full marks💕 ☕️ Gathering The Chinese wabi-sabi style combined with green plants and wooden structures is my favorite garden-style cafe, full of Zen and very elegant! ☕️ Lao Mai Coffee The Internet celebrity retro cafe, pushing the door in is like entering a yellowed old movie. It is recommended to sit by the window on the second floor to experience the leisure time of Wukang Road! 🍁Wukang Court This newly developed area is the favorite of young artists. The red brick arch is a perfect photo background. You can also see a variety of snacks such as pan-fried buns and Nanxiang steamed buns. After eating, visit the Songyinli Gallery in Wukang Court to experience the rich art here🎨 💯The "Sinan Mansion" that can extend to Fuxing Middle Road consists of 51 historic garden houses, which are French, British and full of the fusion of history and modernity. Walking into the old house will take you back to the Republic of China💕 #Wukang Building #French Concession #Wukang Road #Sinan Mansion #Wukang Court

Sharing a 4-day, 3-night Shanghai travel plan for people with limited time but with everything included. There's Disneyland. Shanghai is a very good city. Good atmosphere, clean city. Definitely want to go again. But today, I'm sharing the plan first. Honestly, 3 days is not enough. The city is so big that we can't go everywhere. Anyone who is thinking of a plan can use ours. We'll come back to review the app and various transportation methods. #Shanghai #ShanghaiDisneyland #shanghai

Because I found this restaurant very popular when watching Korean variety shows, I thought it was Koreans eating there, but many Shanghainese people also said that it was authentic, delicious and cheap, the environment was clean and cool, and it was really great to eat sizzling oil👍 🍢The signature dish is Hulunbuir lamb skewers, which have a special electric grill to make the atmosphere of freshly roasted lamb, and the fat and lean meat with the aroma of oil is a plus! Share different skewers such as garlic chicken wings and spicy golden money bones with beer. Be sure to add unpeeled garlic for a different flavor. Special snacks: including garlic chicken wings, beef tendon head and brain (dare not order😝), fish tofu, pimple soup, etc. are also very popular~ ✔️Cold cucumber and cold tomato are also suitable for summer! 🍢Although it is a chain store, the waiters will adjust and take care of it when they pass by. The meat is good. It is a very pleasant skewers dining experience. No wonder it is so popular!

Last time we went to Shanghai, we stayed here for 2 nights. We were quite impressed. If you like a quiet place to stay, not crowded, near the metro but the price is less than 2xxx, this place is the best. ✅...🏨 The room we stayed in was a Standard Twin bed room. The bed was very soft. I have never been disappointed with the bed when staying in China. No matter which hotel you stay in, the bed is good, not soft, and does not cause body aches. There is a sofa in the room, very soft. I sat and worked on the sofa both nights. There is a work desk + lamp for serious work. I guess this branch is a branch where many people come to work because there is a lot of parking. —- 🪞The bathroom here is not separated from the shower room like other places. The sink is in the bathroom. The light in the bathroom is not very bright. But the mirror near the work desk works better. But the Rain Shower has a glass door separating the wet and dry areas. The bathroom is not so small that it is uncomfortable to shower. —- 🍟 The breakfast here, compared to other Mercure hotels I have stayed at, has a smaller selection of food. But there are a lot of tables in the dining area. Don't be afraid that there will be no place to eat in the morning. —- 🏢 The hotel lobby is very spacious. There are quite a few sofas to sit and wait. There are several minimarts in front of the hotel, about 100-200 m away. We walked there to buy snacks every night. —- 🌳 The atmosphere around the hotel is quite quiet, not chaotic, not crowded. If you don't like loud noises, this place is perfect. —- 🚇 It is close to both Metro Line 1 stations, less than 1 km away⊹ Hulan Road Station 230 m⊹ Tonghe Xincun Station 780 m —-💰 The cost of accommodation per night is about 14xx - 19xx for a Standard Twin room, depending on the booking period✨ —- #HotelReview #AccommodationReview #TravelChina #TravelShanghai #ShanghaiReview #TravelAbroad #TravelAbroadByYourself #TravelAbroadByYourself #Shanghai #ShanghaiHotel #ShanghaiAccommodation #ChineseHotel

#ShanghaiTravel #ShanghaiTravel #RadissonCollectionHighlandShanghai RadissonCollectionHighlandShanghaiHotel, where I was able to stay comfortably for 3 nights and 4 days!
