Our things to do in Shanghai post was originally written by Kaila Yu. We have added additional details and information from our experiences on two separate Shanghai where we’ve had the chance to experience the best of China’s most exciting city.
1. Walk Along The Bund
Also known as Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu (East Zhongshan 1st Road) the Bund is located on the west bank of the Huangpu River. It is famous for its waterfront view of Pudong, the financial district across the Huangpu River.
The Bund is a 1.5 km long stretch of colonial buildings lining the waterfront. At night the lights go on showcasing an incredible view of the city skyline.
2. Must-See Sights At The Bund
A bronze statue of Chen Yi, who was the first Communist mayor of Shanghai, stands at the Nanjing Road intersection near the Bund.
The Bund has its own wall street bull just like New York City, boasting its leading standard in the world financial market.
Along the northern end of the riverfront is the Huangpu Park where the Monument to the People’s Heroes is mounted. It’s a tall, abstract concrete tower and a memorial for those who lost their lives during the revolutionary struggle for Shanghai.
3. Pudong Skyscrapers
Pudong is Shanghai’s financial district located across from the Bund on the Huangpu River. It is filled with astounding and unique skyscrapers some of which are the tallest in the world.
Just a few decades ago it was mostly farmland but is now the fastest growing city on earth. Here you can browse the high-end shopping centers located at the base of all the skyscrapers housing many observation decks.
4. The Jin Mao Tower
While the skyline views are awesome, it was the incredible view down the center of the tower from the 88th floor. It looks like something out of a science fiction movie. If you ever get to Shanghai, don’t miss this.
5. Shanghai World Financial Center
The Shanghai World Financial Center is the second highest building in the city and is one of its most recognizable attractions. It the one that looks like a bottle opener.The observation decks are located on the 97th and 100th floors. It doesn’t offer complete 360-degree views as you can only look out one side or the other. But it does offer good views of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the Huangpu River.
6. Ritz Carlton Patio
If you aren’t into observation decks but still want a great view, the Ritz Carlton has a stunning outdoor patio where you can enjoy a cocktail overlooking the Bund and the Pearl.
It’s a large outdoor patio and bar offering food and drink, and it was our favorite place to take in views of Shanghai.
7. Oriental Pearl TV Tower
The Pearl Tower is one of the most recognizable attractions in Shanghai. It’s illusion of twin dragons playing with two pearls has ignited the skyline since 1995.
We don’t recommend going up the Oriental Pearl TV Tower because, in our opinion, it is the tower that you want to look at rather than look out from. But there is an observation deck here as well that lets you see views of the Bund, the Huangpu River, and the Shanghai skyline.
