The North Bund

The North Bund mixes Shanghai's old-world charm with its ambitious future along the Huangpu River. Stroll the waterfront promenade for jaw-dropping views of Pudong's skyline that'll make your Instagram followers jealous. History buffs can explore the art deco Broadway Mansions and the former Japanese Consulate while photographers capture the perfect sunset over the water.

After dark, sip cocktails at sleek rooftop bars with million-dollar views. High-end hotels and serviced apartments cater to comfort-seekers, though budget travelers might want to stay elsewhere and just visit for the spectacular riverfront experience.

Lujiazui

Lujiazui's sky-scraping financial district is where Shanghai flexes its futuristic muscles. The iconic Oriental Pearl Tower glows against a backdrop of glass giants like Shanghai Tower and Jin Mao Tower. Take a breather at Lujiazui Central Green Space or snap those classic skyline shots along the riverside promenade with views of the historic Bund across the water.

Tree-lined walkways connect stylish rooftop terraces where you can people-watch above the fashionable crowds below. Dining options range from Michelin-starred restaurants to trendy cocktail bars, with most venues requiring reservations. Luxury boutique hotels occupy renovated historic buildings throughout the area. The nearby Taipingqiao Park provides a green escape, and Metro Lines 1 and 10 make getting around the city a breeze.

Downtown Shanghai

Downtown Shanghai dazzles with its perfect split personality. The historic Bund waterfront flaunts colonial grandeur while facing off against Pudong's futuristic skyline across the Huangpu River. Stroll the riverside promenade for jaw-dropping views or explore traditional temples tucked between modern skyscrapers. The neighborhood buzzes with energy from dawn till well after dark. From upscale international cuisine to authentic xiaolongbao dumplings, the food scene caters to all tastes. Luxury hotels and boutiques line Nanjing Road's bustling pedestrian mall. Getting around is a breeze with multiple metro stations and the scenic Puxi Tram connecting major attractions.
