✈️ Full service round trip Shanghai 4,2xx (we went in March 68) Very good price *stop over at Guangzhou for ~2 hours. - Outbound, seats 3-3, small plane | Return, large plane 3-3-3, with screen, movies are quite old but okay, charger available. - 🍝 Food on board, served juicy on every flight. We had a connecting flight in Guangzhou, so we ate 4 meals 🤣 The taste was okay. 🍲 - 🛫 We chose to connect at Guangzhou for about 2 hours, which was enough time, but we had to hurry a bit. When you get off the plane, there will be airline staff waiting to welcome you. You can still stop by to buy Luckin coffee. However, if you are not in a hurry, I recommend about 3 hours. It is comfortable because the immigration in China takes quite a long time to check. - This route will land at Hongqiao Airport. * It is convenient to enter the city, closer than Pudong Airport, but there is no duty free at the departure. In my opinion, I think it is very worthwhile. Full service at this price is the best. Now next year, 69, I see that they still have a promotion. Try it, everyone. ✨ #Get a discount without relying on luck #chinasouthernairlines #Travel to China #Travel to Shanghai #Travel to Shanghai by yourself #Shanghai2025

This month I finally checked out the trending spot The Stage! I bought the early bird ticket for 150 RMB and booked the prime sunset time slot from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. They cap this time slot at only 80 people, and once it’s full, there are no more tickets! It had rained earlier that day so maybe a lot of people canceled, but that worked out perfectly for us. The weather cleared up just in time and turned into the perfect golden hour glow. It was also the first time I got to see the Bund light up at 7 pm. No lines, no crowds, just the freedom to take photos! 📝 Good to Know: ✔️ Tickets are 288 RMB normally ✔️ Entrance is on LG1 ✔️ No outside food or drinks allowed ✔️ They provide sunglasses if you want to borrow some ✔️ Don't forget bug spray

🇨🇳 Shanghai, China (中国上海) 🥟 Jia Jia Tang Bao (佳家汤包, Jia Jia Tang Bao) I am currently traveling in Shanghai, China. On the first day of my trip, I visited Jia Jia Tang Bao (佳家汤包, Jia Jia Tang Bao), a restaurant renowned for its soup dumplings (汤包). Established in 1986, Jia Jia Tang Bao has been serving authentic Shanghai-style soup dumplings for decades and now has multiple branches across the city. We chose to visit the Huanghe Road branch (黄河路店) because it is conveniently located near the famous Bund (外滩). We ordered the Golden Crab Roe Noodles (黄金蟹粉拌面) and Crab Roe Soup Dumplings (蟹粉汤包), which cost 121 RMB in total. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, even using a translator to communicate with us as we are foreigners. Their hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking to try some local Shanghai delicacies, I highly recommend Jia Jia Tang Bao (佳家汤包, Jia Jia Tang Bao). 🇨🇳♥️ As a fan of crab roe dishes, I’ve tried many places, but Jia Jia Tang Bao truly stands out. The crab roe was abundant, rich, and flavorful, making the noodles incredibly delicious. The noodles were soft and paired perfectly with the crab roe. For the soup dumplings (汤包), I first sipped the savory broth inside, then added some pickled ginger for a clean and refreshing taste. The umami of the crab filled my mouth, making it an unforgettable experience.

Hey everyone, I've cracked the code for early summer romance! Shanghai's Central Green Corridor is like a secret garden of hydrangeas, and they're now blooming at 100% capacity—absolutely stunning! 💥 The hydrangea area at Meilong Ecological Park is massive, with gorgeous blue and purple tones that create a perfect photo atmosphere! Plus, the hydrangeas here are about the height of shrubs, making them ideal for portrait shots. Just stand next to them, snap a photo, and voilà—instant masterpiece! 📸 Along the entire Central Green Corridor on Guijiang Road, you'll find large patches of pink hydrangeas interspersed with light purple and blue ones. It’s like a spilled box of macarons—soft, sweet, and romantic. When you reach the section near Qinzhou South Road, the flowers grow even taller, surrounding you completely for an immersive floral experience! Not many people know about this spot yet, so apart from the occasional jogger, you won’t have to fight for the perfect photo spot! If you want stunning pictures, hurry up and go! 🎈 Specific location: Navigate to Guijiang Road and Jiang'an Road, and you'll find the breathtaking hydrangea sea along the way. 📸 Photo tips: Wear light-colored outfits, like a white dress or a pale blue shirt. The lighting after 4 PM is soft, and backlit close-ups look amazing!

A Relaxing Oasis Before Takeoff My experience at the Shanghai Pudong Terminal 2 VIP Lounge was nothing short of exceptional. The lounge provided a peaceful escape from the bustling terminal, featuring comfortable seating and a spacious, calming environment. I especially appreciated the wide variety of food and beverages — from fresh dim sum to Western snacks, with a good selection of drinks including beer and wine. It was the perfect place to unwind, recharge, and enjoy some bites before boarding. We accessed the lounge through a ticket purchased on Trip.com, which was instantly valid and easily accepted by the staff. Trip.com is well-recognized at the lounge, making the process smooth and worry-free. Highly recommended for travelers seeking comfort and convenience before a flight. 📍Address: No. 69 Lounge (Pudong Terminal 2 Shanghai) #airportlounge #ShanghaiPudongTerminal2

Start your morning on Wukang Road, where quiet streets, plane trees, and the iconic “diving board” view at Wukang Mansion make for the dreamiest photo ops. Stop for a coffee at one of the many chic cafés tucked between historic villas. As the day winds down, head to The Bund for a golden-hour stroll along the river. Watch the city light up—colonial facades behind you, futuristic Pudong glowing across the water. A rooftop cocktail here seals the perfect Shanghai citywalk. #localguides #shanghai #citywalk

#springitinerary We explored Tianzifang, one of the most creative and charming places in Shanghai. It’s like a small maze of narrow street filled with cute little shops, cozy cafes and art studios. Walking around was so much fun every corner had something different to see. There were handmade souvenirs, vintage items, and even tiny art galleries.. We also tried some street snacks and the milk tea there was the best! If you're planning to visit Shanghai, this place is a must. You’ll find lots of nice things to buy here! 😊 #TheMackmawAdventure #SpringAtShanghai
