On the outskirts of Shanghai, there is a quiet and comfortable ancient town, which is called Zhujiajiao. In the morning, Zhujiajiao is the liveliest. There are restaurants selling steaming meat in the street; there are rumbling workshops selling silk quilts; there are small shops selling suave Jiangnan silk; there are bright and stylish shops selling literary tea sets, which repeats the business trajectory that comes with Jiangnan Water Town. Occasionally, there are some boat vendors selling vegetables on the shore of the bridge. You can buy some vegetables and pick up the fresh river food to cook and start a good day.

It’s a good thing to kill time on Caohe Street, because there are two places where you will be fascinated (Cat Empty Bookstore and Daqing Post Office), and when you are tired, you can find a favorite riverside teahouse to have a rest. Although it is not a good season to taste tea, it is a good time for drinking tea. If you love to drink tea, as always, drinking Longjing, only for the freshness of the first tea.

Zhujiajiao Water Town is known as “Shanghai Venice” and “Shanghai Suburb Hollywood”. The small bridge in the town has the title of “Jiangnan Pearl”. There are 36 ancient bridges in Zhujiajiao, which are simple and elegant. 9 long streets are built on the water. The residential houses are built according to the water. Featuring the type of Ming and Qing architecture, the ancient style still exists. In particular, the five-hole stone arch release bridge across the Ming Dynasty building in Dagang was built in the Ming Dynasty and is very beautiful. It is one of the oldest stone arch bridges in Shanghai and the first of the ten scenic spots in Zhujiajiao.

Zhujiajiao Water Town is not as lively as Wuzhen and Zhouzhuang. The guests on a day trip usually leave at 16:00 or 17:00 in the afternoon. When the sun sets, people leave, the shops close and the streets and lanes become quiet and elegant.

Yu Garden is located in the northeast of Shanghai’s old city, with Fuyou Road in the north, Anren Street in the east, and Shanghai Old Town Temple in the southwest. It is a classical garden in the south of the Yangtze River. It was built in the Jiajing years of the Ming Dynasty in 1590s and covers an area of more than 30 acres. In the garden, there are the three famous stones in the south of the Yangtze River: The Jade Linglong, the command post of the 1853 Small Knife Uprising, and the tourist attractions such as the Chenghuang Temple and the shopping street. Yu Garden was opened to the public in 1961 and was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit by the State Council in 1982.

Yu Garden is more tasteful among the high-rise buildings in Shanghai. It was said that Yu Garden was originally a private garden in the Ming Dynasty. It has a history of more than 400 years. After the tour to Yu Garden, your impression will be that the rich people will play various things, and there are gardens in the garden. After crossing the rockery group, you will see a different garden. The design of the Yu Garden really makes people feel very happy and wish you could live and enjoy yourself there. There are many small sculptures on the top of the building in the Yu Garden. The patterns carved on the eaves are also endless. It can be said that this design is really meticulous.

Being one of the four famous gardens in China, the Yu Garden enjoys the same reputation as Humble Administrator’s Garden and the Lingering Garden in Suzhou. The winding path in the park is very typical, and it is the typical Jiangnan Art Garden, which is worth a visit. If you visit there in December, it is “colorful” Season and really beautiful. And the fish there is fat and big and colorful, and the fountains bloom like flowers.

Yu Garden’s green is very naughty, which is climbing everywhere. It’s still so beautiful even on a cloudy day, just like the beauty of a beautiful girl who is angry. The style of the tree in the Yu Garden also imitated the style of ancient buildings, and is more and more upturned, and the strange mountains and rocks of the Yu Garden are also worthy of appreciation.

It is known to all that it is funny to have a trip in Shanghai Disneyland, as it is the dreamland of so many kids, and it is worthy your visit if you are to have a travel to Shanghai. But before it, just check some reviews on the Shanghai Disneyland from other visitors’ experience there before and know about their suggestions.

1, Purchase tickets. There are many channels to purchase the Shanghai Disneyland tickets, including the official website of the Shanghai Disney Resort APP; the official WeChat public number; third-party websites, travel companies; on-site. Disney has always been different in my heart, so the tickets from the third-party websites are not trusted by me. So I bought the ticket from the official APP for a two-day ticket, one person cost 1038 Yuan, and if you buy the tickets from official WeChat public number, the lowest is 50% off, the highest 30% off, which is much cheaper.

2, Fast pass (FP). Before entering the Shanghai Disney, you must download the Shanghai Disney Resort APP in advance and bind it to your fingerprints to check the waiting time and performance time of the projects conveniently. Fingerprints are faster than passwords, which is good for the race against time to grasp the fast pass. The order of operation is, after security check, online purchase of the ID card, then you will obtain the ticket, and you can bound the game group on the APP, then the first time to open the fast pass, the most queued preferred project is leaping the horizon, thundering mountain drifting, creating speed Light wheel. If you grab a piece, you can grab the second one after two hours.

3, Premium customer card. This service is a new Disney project that is divided into Disney Premium Card Sets, Family Pack, Adventure Pack, and single project. And they can be purchased only after the tickets must be obtained. The price varies from day to day. For example, the first day the price of the Disney Premium Card Sets is 825 Yuan, the price of family PACK and adventure pack is 525 Yuan, and the price of single project is 150 Yuan. The next day they may become 660, 420, 120 Yuan. The single card and the free pass enjoy the same service, eliminating the queue for the initial project, but still need to queue when approaching the project nearby.

The Bund is a testimony to the development of the city of Shanghai. The Bund, once the most prosperous financial center in the Asia-Pacific region, represents the essence of the Shanghai culture of that era! The buildings of different styles are a fascinating landscape. Nowadays, Shanghai is developing rapidly, and Lujiazui opposite the Bund has become a new landmark. The two sides of the Pujiang River complement each other and write the shining glory of Shanghai’s new era.

The Bund is one of the best destinations for Chinese city tourism. The Shanghai culture is indeed amazing. The Bund is the window for the Europeans and Americans to understand China. The air is filled with a strong perfume. If you don’t touch people at all levels in Shanghai, you won’t understand why you live in a bird cage? The narrow alley in the summer is the restaurant, the Shanghainese of the bathroom. Why are they so proud, why do they look down on all the outsiders? Featuring the international metropolis, the home base of Fortune 500 companies and foreign banks, the preferred place of the world’s luxury goods store, the China’s best quality education and medical resources distribution center, these elements are enough to explain everything.

Reviews on The Bund

In August 2018, I stayed in Shanghai for about three days. On the first night, I went to the Bund to see the city scenery. There were so many people on the Bund. The streets were crowded with people, and I fully experienced the gongs and drums, and the sounds of the firecrackers, all the people are full of excitement. The Bund is beautiful, and Lujiazui and Oriental Pearl on the opposite are even more beautiful.

Just we said before, there are a lot of people on the Bund in Puxi, but as long as you go a little north, people there will be much less, and it is easy to take up the position. Looking at the view of the Bund is pretty good, and you can pass by Citibank and Peace Hotel, where you can take a photo and keep it as a commemoration. In addition, clothes in Daimaru Department Store are still cheaper, which is a great choice for you if you want to go shopping after visiting the Bund.
