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

As a Shanghai resident for three years, I've carefully selected five must-try restaurants, from classics to hidden gems. 🎖️ ① Diandu De My absolute favorite Cantonese restaurant!! Their red sushi rolls are so delicious you won't find them in Japan! 🔴 I've been there over 20 times, so I've listed many of my recommended dishes, so please refer to them when ordering! 🌿 ② Crab Xue When you think of Shanghai, you think of "Shanghai Crab 🦀." A restaurant where you can fully enjoy crab dishes...♡ Why not splurge on one meal of crab during your trip? ✨ The portions are large, so I recommend three or more people. But if you're going with two, an appetizer (cucumber), one other dish, and crab mixed rice will be enough! There are only about four locations, so check to see if there's one near your destination! But it's worth taking a taxi just to get to this place! ③ Lu Cha This restaurant serves Hangzhou cuisine, located about an hour from Shanghai. ✨ I highly recommend it for its wide selection of delicious food at reasonable prices! I absolutely love the fried rice here! While each location has a different vibe, the one in Qibao is amazing! There's even a small pond inside, creating a truly wonderful atmosphere. 💗 ④ Xiao Yang Sheng Jiang A chain of "baked xiaolongbao" (steamed dumplings) that originated in Shanghai and is now available nationwide! ❗️ If you bite into it, the juices will come out 100%! 💥 The first time I tried it, I accidentally chewed it and my entire left leg was covered in juices. lol When eating, first poke a hole in the bowl with your chopsticks to absorb the juices before eating. 🤣 ⑤ Yuxing Ji Mianguan Another must-try when visiting Shanghai?! 🩵 The noodles are topped with plenty of toppings like crab and shrimp! (They also have ingredients other than seafood! ✨) You can choose your noodles with or without soup, and you can also choose the toppings you want on top! Be sure to find your favorite set! I love all of these restaurants and have returned multiple times! 💗 It was hard to choose, but if it's your first time in Shanghai, you can't go wrong with these places! 🎖️ I hope this helps those planning to visit! ♡ If you have any questions, please leave a comment or DM! ✈️🫶 - ＼ I'll continue to share useful information! ／ If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments! #ShanghaiBeginner #Alipay #Alipay #ShanghaiLife #LivingAbroad #UsefulInformationAbroad #BeginnerAbroad #LivingInChina #ShanghaiToday #ChinaTrip #ShanghaiTourism #ShanghaiTrip #TravelingAliLog #Ali'sShanghai #Expatriate #ShanghaiTrip #ShanghaiGourmet #상해 #상하이 #DianduDe #ShanghaiCrab #CrabXiao #CrabAndYellowCrabAndMeatRice #GreenTea #GreenTeaRestaurant #XiaoYangShengFriedFood #YuxingJi #ShanghaiGourmet #ShanghaiGourmet

🗺️🗺️ [Travel Plan] Day 1: Have breakfast at the popular Dugout coffee shop, stroll along The Bund, and then visit Jing'an Temple. We traveled entirely by Amap. In the evening, we walked in for a meal. (Long time ago) Day 2: Disney Shanghai: I went on my birthday, so don't forget to get your birthday pin. For those who wake up late, grab a bite to eat. First, head to a popular Thai restaurant for their signature dish, pickled cabbage fish soup. Then, don't forget to try Ama's milk tea inside. They say the wait isn't as long as at the branch outside. After eating, we went for rides without buying any passes. We managed to get three: Tron, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Zootopia. Then, we waited for the fireworks. Perfect for those who don't plan on riding too many rides. Just the right amount of tired, but not too tired. Day 3: Wake up and try the world's largest Starbucks. Stroll around Xintiandi for crab fat noodles. Then, hunt for Hay Tea. In the evening, we'll have hot pot. Day 4: Wake up and stroll around The Bund. Visit a coffee shop near the water for photos. Stroll along Nanjing Road. Day 5: Head back to Thailand. We stayed at the JI Hotel for all four nights. It's convenient, but we chose the wrong branch. It's a bit far. When booking, we recommend going to the Bund branch. It's probably closest. 📍📍[Must-See Attractions] 1.

The Disney Store in Shanghai is one of the largest Disney stores, located right in Shanghai's Pudong district. It offers a wide selection of Disney-related merchandise. 🤩 The highlight here isn't just the character toys from familiar cartoons, but also a variety of interesting accessories: handbags and backpacks, mugs and thermoses, clothing and hats, home decor, collectible figurines, and much more. There are some exclusive items that can only be purchased at the Disney Store! Everything is so interesting and cute! Even I, an adult, wanted to buy a lot of them. And what can we say about children! It's a paradise for any child. And for us adults too. 😍 For tourists: 🌆Address: 180 Fenghe Road, Pudong 🚇Transportation: Easily accessible by metro – Line 2, Exit 1. Close to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. It's an easy walk to the store. ⏰Hours: The store is open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. ✍🏻Tip: I recommend visiting on weekdays to avoid long lines and crowds, as well as in the morning or close to closing time. After shopping, take wonderful photos both inside with the characters and outside the store. It's beautiful there in the evenings! A visit to the Disney store in Shanghai will be a wonderful experience for all Disney fans and beyond!

Asia's Largest Indoor Garden! A Must-Visit Attraction in Shanghai 📍 Shanghai Expo Cultural Park・Botanical Dome 💡 Highlights: Urban Oasis × Indoor Waterfall × Global Plant Zones 🎟️ Student Ticket: Around ¥50 Looking for a green escape in the bustling city? The Shanghai Botanical Dome is a delightful surprise!✨ Once part of the 2010 Shanghai Expo site, it has now transformed into a glass greenhouse that feels like a fairyland 🌿. The moment you step inside, you'll be awestruck by the scene— The towering glass roof lets in soft light, At the center stands a magnificent indoor waterfall 💧, Mist drifts through the air, sparkling as sunlight filters through. No special effects needed—this is the real-life "Enchanted Forest" 🍃✨ The park is divided into several themed zones, Including tropical rainforests, desert plants, and temperate gardens, Each area has its own unique scents and colors, Transporting you through the natural landscapes of different countries 🌍🌸.

To be honest, when we went to Zhujiajiao, I was skeptical. We'd previously visited the "Venice of China" in Dalian, and it didn't particularly inspire me. There were tons of people, but that's okay. The main thing is, I didn't find much soul in the place. 😄 As strange as it may sound, that's how it is. Arriving at Zhujiajiao, we bypassed the tourist entrance and went into the area where the locals live. It was so wonderful. You walk among the old buildings, people living their lives, some cooking, others washing. Everything is so peaceful. 😍 Then, of course, we reached the tourist areas, where a ton of shops and crowds of people immediately appeared. So if you're planning to visit this place, my advice is: as soon as you've passed the main tourist streets, turn into a hidden corner and take a stroll there. And if you visit a local cafe with a river view, you're guaranteed zen. 🚇How to get to Zhujiajiao? You'll need metro line 17 (brown), Zhujiajiao station. We traveled from Pudong Avenue, and the journey took about 1.5 hours. It's long, but worth it. 😉 #zhujiajiao #watertown #shanghai #chinatrevel #china #traveling

The night streets of Yeowon had a completely different atmosphere compared to the daytime. During the day, the focus was on the elegant gardens, red walls, and serene ponds. But at night, the traditional houses began to glow softly under the subtle lighting. It felt like stepping back in time, walking through a Joseon-era garden. At the entrance, groups of tourists were gathering to take photos, while deeper into the alleys, many people were quietly strolling. The sound of pebbles crunching underfoot with each step and the faint scent of candles in the air created a truly pleasant ambiance. The lights reflecting on the pond were especially beautiful. As the gentle ripples in the water moved, the lights shimmered and sparkled, resembling starlight in a glass. If the garden was simply beautiful during the day, at night it transformed into a space filled with stories. There was hardly any of the usual bustling tourist vibe, making it perfect for a peaceful walk and some quiet reflection. As I walked quietly, listening to the sound of the wind seeping through the walls, I realized, 'The true charm of Yeowon lies in its nights.'

#HotelReview Review of the Tianhua Hotel Shanghai People's Square Nanjing Road Walkway. It was recently renovated in 2025. The new rooms are very clean. We were looking for a room that could accommodate three people and found this place, so we decided to book a room through Trip. The price was affordable. The room was new and very satisfying. The room comes with many amenities, including an automatic toilet, hair dryer, drinking water, and tissues. The housekeeper comes to clean the room daily, and they also provide extra drinking water and tissues. The receptionists were friendly and the service was excellent. 🫧 Highlights: - Close to food sources, restaurants, and a 24-hour minimart. - Automatic toilet with heated seat and remote control. - The bathroom has a bidet hose, which is used for cleaning, but we can still use it. - Air conditioning with multiple settings. - Drinking water provided daily. - Housekeeping cleans the room daily. The bedsheets and towels were changed, and most importantly, the room was clean. - We stayed on the 3rd floor, and the room didn't smell like cigarettes at all. - There's a laundry room on the 4th floor where you can go up and iron your clothes. - There's a power bank station. Nearby places: Hotmaxx, Lawson, 24-hour convenience store, pharmacy, restaurant, grocery store, and chill-out spot. 📍People's Square 🚇 Line 1/2/8, get off at People's Square Station, Exit 9. Walk straight for about 390 meters, and the hotel is on the left. #Shanghai #ShanghaiHotel

Visited Yuyuan Garden, a famous night view spot in Shanghai ❤️ Yuyuan Garden is a classical garden built in the Ming and Qing dynasties! It was fascinating and impressive to see such historic architecture in the middle of Shanghai's bustling city. Visiting at night was even more magical with the lights turned on, floating lanterns in the air, and the nostalgic atmosphere of 1930s Shanghai. You can even dress up in period costumes for photos, and there are plenty of souvenir shops and cafes to explore ☺️ Yuyuan Garden is a vibrant place to experience the charm of the olden days.

Shanghai’s autumn is a romance awakened by plane tree leaves～ When the London plane trees on the streets start turning light gold and the wind blows the leaves down in a flutter, the whole city is bathed in a gentle caramel hue. This is the right way to capture autumn in the Magic City! Here are 3 tried-and-true plane tree CityWalk routes, with photo and outfit tips included—save them for a November trip～ 🍂 Classic Must-Do: Wukang Road - Anfu Road Artsy Route The top combo for Shanghai’s plane tree autumn scenery! Starting from the Wukang Building, this century-old building is naturally framed by golden plane tree leaves. Go before 9 a.m. when it’s very quiet; standing at the intersection to capture the full view with leaves falling is simply magical. Even local aunties passing by will compliment, “You take photos so skillfully”～ Stroll slowly along Wukang Road, where old Western-style houses are covered in vines, and the plane tree branches intertwine to form a golden tunnel. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows, and stepping on the fallen leaves creates a soothing rustling sound. At the end, turn into Anfu Road, where trendy shops and artsy cafes hide under the plane trees. When tired, duck into a terrace café, order a hot latte, and watch leaves drift down by the wall—time seems to slow down. Highly recommend the small alleys near Wukang Court; they’re quiet and scenic. A light-colored long dress paired with a knit cardigan makes every casual shot look like a vintage movie scene. 🎵 Romantic & Offbeat: Fenyang Road - Xiangyang Park Music Route For those wanting to avoid crowds, this is the route! Starting from Nie Er Green Space and walking to Fenyang Road, this area hides Shanghai’s artistic soul. The melodious piano sounds drifting from music shops blend with the rustling plane tree leaves, like a natural and artistic symphony. The old Western-style houses on both sides of the street have Baroque charm, and the light and shadows on the red walls look like dancing musical notes. Any street corner here is photogenic. Crossing Fenyang Road leads to Xiangyang Park, where the plane tree leaves in the French-style garden look even more lively. When the wind blows, golden leaves fall softly. Sitting on a bench watching the leaves is the ultimate date spot. On the way, visit the Shanghai Conservatory green space; lush vegetation and fresh air, with occasional piano sounds from nearby campuses, create a fully artsy atmosphere—perfect for quietly soaking in autumn. 🌿 Healing Slow Walk: Hengshan Road - Huaihai Middle Road Leisure Route Hengshan Road is known as the “Oriental Champs-Élysées.” In autumn, it’s a scenic route where fallen leaves are left untouched, with golden plane tree leaves covering the ground like a soft carpet. Starting from Hengshan Fang, the garden-style houses along the street hide treasure shops. When tired, visit Xujiahui Park to interact with the black swans or check in at the Baidai Little Red House to feel the charm of old Shanghai. Turn into Huaihai Middle Road, where old buildings and unique shops complement each other. Sunlight shines on the shop windows, blending with the lively atmosphere of century-old stores. Recommended to visit after 4 p.m. when the light is soft and not harsh, and the plane tree shadows stretch long. Photos taken here naturally have a gentle filter. If you find a café you like along the way, stop in for a break, sip a hot drink, and watch the bustling street—this is the relaxed feeling of autumn in Shanghai～ ✨ Practical Tips for Your Trip 1. Best Time: Mid to late November through early December, when plane tree leaves are most golden; 3-5 p.m. offers the best light for photos 2. Outfit Suggestions: Light-colored clothes + white sneakers, paired with a knit cardigan for morning and evening temperature changes; photos will naturally have a soft filter effect 3. Avoid Pitfalls: Avoid crowds at noon; try to visit on weekdays; bring a foldable water cup, as cafes along the way offer refills 4. Transportation: Prioritize subway travel; Line 11 Traffic University Station and Line 1 South Shaanxi Road Station provide direct access to the starting points of all routes Autumn in Shanghai is short, but the romance brought by plane tree leaves lasts long～ Walking these little streets on fallen leaves is the true way to understand the city’s autumn vibe. This autumn, invite a friend to join this plane tree rendezvous—after all, an autumn without falling plane tree leaves isn’t a complete Shanghai～

Soaking in the bath 🛀🏻 while watching the Shanghai night view [CityNight], love it, love it! A cloud-level hotel where you can say hi to the Oriental Pearl Tower just by opening the window! As a landmark building in Lujiazui, staying here this time was truly a wonderful surprise. The hotel is located on the 58th floor of the IFC Mall, with 270° floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the entire Bund. We stayed in the Pearl River view room, where during the day you can see the Huangpu River cruise boats weaving by, and at night you enjoy the city’s most dazzling night light show. The afternoon tea in the executive lounge is stunning, with scones paired perfectly with Earl Grey tea.

First-time visitors to the China Eastern Airlines V01 Lounge will immediately notice its unique elongated layout, which takes about 3 to 5 minutes to walk through from end to end. However, this spacious design ensures a relatively quiet and comfortable environment. ✓ Layout and Atmosphere Upon entering, the left side features a floor-to-ceiling window viewing area overlooking the tarmac, while the right side houses a well-designed bar. The bartenders craft drinks with care, and though it may require some patience, the attentive service is commendable. Following the elongated layout, the lounge is divided into several functional areas: a relaxation zone with various sofa seating options, a kids' area, a reading area, and a shower area. Small refrigerators stocked with drinks, snacks, and treats are conveniently located near the sofa and kids' areas. ✓ Dining and Service The hot food section is located deep within the lounge. The dining options are relatively diverse, including freshly prepared noodles, dumplings, and a buffet. Particularly striking are the large beverage refrigerators, which span two to three connected sections, creating an impressive display. While the food quality is average and reminiscent of complimentary hotel breakfasts, it is a notable improvement compared to simpler meal offerings. Additionally, the staff's dedication to cleanliness is worth mentioning, as the glass display cases are consistently spotless. Overall, the China Eastern Airlines V01 Lounge provides a quiet and spacious environment for passengers, with a variety of seating options to choose from. The most relaxing aspect is the opportunity to enjoy the serene outer seating area after dining, where one can peacefully watch planes take off and land. This lounge serves as an excellent place to unwind before boarding.

#SeptemberGoodPlaces2025 The InterContinental Hotel Ruijin is located in the heart of the city, convenient for shopping and close to the Huanmao and Xintiandi shopping malls on Huaihai Middle Road. I love the tranquility of this place, like being in a grand mansion park, filled with plants and flowers, each with a different style depending on the season. It's like a paradise, like stepping back into the days of Shanghai. I'm really looking forward to the autumn ginkgo and crimson leaves in Shanghai; it promises to be a truly old-fashioned romance. The friendly and welcoming staff, the classic English wood-panel décor, the spotless rooms (not a speck behind the TV), the spacious and tranquil garden, and the perfect location in the bustling French Concession all make you feel instantly relaxed! The Executive Lounge offers a wide variety of afternoon tea and dinner options, and the buffet breakfast on the first floor of the main building is available from the start.

Here are two more recommended spots: Sheshan Catholic Church and the entrance to Qibao Ancient Town. Both are rich in history and definitely worth a visit. The department store plaza features a high-ceiling design, making shopping and enjoying the air conditioning incredibly comfortable. Restrooms are also very convenient to use. 👍
