There are a number of must do activities in Shanghai so we hope you find our list helpful for ideas on where to go in Shanghai and what to do when you're visiting this amazing city.
1 - Yu Garden
Yu Garden / Yu Yuan / Yu Yuan Garden (yuan means garden in Chinese btw) boasts many eateries. It's famous for its Chinese garden and incredible food and tourist scene, making this place a must visit and one of the best things to do in Shanghai. It's a great place to pick up souvenirs too. Be sure to visit both in the day and night to see all the buildings light up.
Address: 218 Anren St, Huangpu, China, 200000
2 - The Bund
When in Shanghai, another must visit attraction is The Bund. The Bund also known as Waitan is Shanghai's main waterfront area in central Shanghai, China. Bask in the view of the amazing Shanghai skyline from Waitan. Shanghai is famous for all their different and very unique skyscraper buildings and The Bund is where you can get a fantastic view of all the incredible modern Chinese and western architecture.
3 - Shanghai Museum
If you're into Chinese history, art and culture, another top thing to do in Shanghai is visit the Shanghai Museum. The renowned Shanghai Museum is home to ancient Chinese relics, filled with galleries and exhibitions showcasing historical national treasures. Bonus thing is that the Shanghai Museum is free entry.
Address: 201 Renmin Avenue, People's Square, Shanghai, 200003
4 - Tianzifang
Tianzi Fang located in the French Quarter is an arts and crafts enclave where you can expect to find interesting boutique shops, bars and restaurants. Tianzifang developed from a renovated traditional residential area in the French Concession area in Shanghai and so you can see some of the older residential homes while walking around the many alleyways and side streets. If you love shopping, you'll be spoilt for choice in Shanghai with the likes of Nanjing lu (Nanjing Road) which is close to The Bund. Nanjing lu is great if you're into the whole regular, big, modern shopping malls type environment. Nanjing Road is where the main shopping district is at but if you're looking for something more unique, Tianzifang is definitely a must-visit attraction in Shanghai. You'll be able to find some great souvenirs from Tianzi Fang while enjoying a more boutique shopping scene.
5 - Shanghai Urban City Planning Exhibition Center
A top attraction in Shanghai especially if you're into history and want to learn about how this incredible city came to be, is the Shanghai Urban City Planning Exhibition Center, located on People's Square. This is the perfect place to learn about Shanghai's history and future from an architectural and city planning point of view. The Shanghai Urban City Planning Exhibition Center is also commonly referred to as the Shanghai Urban Planning Museum.
Address: 100 Renmin Ave, Ren Min Guang Chang, Huangpu, Shanghai, China
6 - Huangpu River Cruise
One of the best ways to soak in the sights of Shanghai city is to take a boat cruise along Huangpu River. It's one of the must-do activities when visiting Shanghai because of the incredible views of the cityscape. We recommend going on the Huangpu River cruise closer to the evening so you get both the day and night views of Shanghai as well as an epic sunset if you're lucky. We took the regular route down Shiliupu Wharf. Huangpu River Cruise is a great way to relax and soak in Shanghai's cityscape. To get on the boat cruise for Huangpu River, simply visit any of the kiosks along The Bund to get your tickets.
