2025 Shanghai Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Because I found this restaurant very popular when watching Korean variety shows, I thought it was Koreans eating there, but many Shanghainese people also said that it was authentic, delicious and cheap, the environment was clean and cool, and it was really great to eat sizzling oil👍 🍢The signature dish is Hulunbuir lamb skewers, which have a special electric grill to make the atmosphere of freshly roasted lamb, and the fat and lean meat with the aroma of oil is a plus! Share different skewers such as garlic chicken wings and spicy golden money bones with beer. Be sure to add unpeeled garlic for a different flavor. Special snacks: including garlic chicken wings, beef tendon head and brain (dare not order😝), fish tofu, pimple soup, etc. are also very popular~ ✔️Cold cucumber and cold tomato are also suitable for summer! 🍢Although it is a chain store, the waiters will adjust and take care of it when they pass by. The meat is good. It is a very pleasant skewers dining experience. No wonder it is so popular!

1️⃣ Enter in the Afternoon Instead of the Morning Fireworks are held at night, so starting early in the morning can be exhausting.

After receiving your ticket, head to the information desk on the right, show your passport, and get a birthday badge. Wear it, and staff members will greet you with birthday wishes! 4️⃣ Must-Ride Attractions 1. TRON 2. Zootopia 3. Pirates of the Caribbean! Even if you enter in the afternoon, you can still enjoy a fulfilling day at Shanghai Disneyland!

Stepping into the Shanghai World Expo Museum feels like entering a portal through time, where stories of world fairs since 1851 unfold across immersive exhibits. Located on Mengzi Road in Huangpu District, the museum sits upon the very grounds of the 2010 Expo site, and its striking architecture—comprising the River Valley and Happy Cloud structures—blends industrial echoes with forward-looking design . Inside, the museum is organized across thematic floors: the ground floor immerses visitors in the atmosphere of Expo events, reflecting “Universal Stage” and “Progress” themes, while upper levels spotlight Chinese ingenuity and future visions. Multimedia displays, iconic memorabilia (like models of the Tower of the Sun from Osaka and the Seattle Expo pavilion), and dynamic dioramas create a rich tapestry . A highlight is the immersive theater, offering a multi-sensory film experience that brings Expo moments to life through 4K projections and synchronized seating effects—a sensory voyage through advancement & innovation . Beyond exhibits, the museum is staffed with visitor amenities: free luggage storage, wheelchairs and strollers, and two daily guided tours, making it family-friendly and deeply accessible . Whether you’re a history enthusiast, cultural explorer, or simply curious about global heritage, the Shanghai World Expo Museum offers a fascinating, multi-layered journey through Expo history, urban transformation, and the spirit of innovation—right in the heart of Shanghai. #shanghaionbudget

#shanghaionbudget Crab Sanbao’s crab roe rice is absolutely amazing! There are so many crab roe dishes, and you can try most of them here. The crab roe is freshly made and the flavor is exceptionally fresh and delicious. The rich and fragrant crab roe 🦀 gets more addictive the more you eat it. If you’re a fan of crab roe rice, you definitely can’t miss this place‼️ 🌈 Recommended Dishes 🌈 🔵 1. Crab Roe Rice This is hands-down their signature must-try dish ‼️‼️‼️ Super fresh and tasty — a full bowl of crab roe + crab meat + crab butter, served over rice or noodles. Mix it all together for a rich, fresh flavor — the thick, fragrant crab roe is simply amazing 😋😋 🔵 2. Crab Roe & Shrimp Dumplings Super big dumplings, thin skin and filled with lots of stuffing. Packed with fine crab roe + springy shrimp. Take a bite and the sweet and savory juices burst out — so delicious you can’t stop eating ✅ 🔵 3.

Walking into the Shanghai Expo Culture Park feels like stepping into a reimagined future where urban energy and natural harmony collide. Once a sprawling steel factory site and hub of the 2010 Expo, this now 2 km² riverside sanctuary embraces its layered history—from preserved pavilions to newly sculpted landscapes. It took shape in two major acts: the northern half opened in 2021 with cultural highlights like the French, Russian, Luxembourg, and Italian pavilions thoughtfully adapted into arts spaces; the southern half debuted in late 2024, unveiling striking new additions like the Shanghai Greenhouse, the world-class Flower Gardens, and the bold “Twin Hills” perched atop a multi‑level car park.  I loved exploring the “舞动广场” (Dancing Plaza) near the east entrance, where a moon‑gate bridge frames reflections across a tranquil pond—serene yet poetic in its design.  The Twin Hills are a real show‑stopper: two man‑made mounds rising 37 and 48 meters, wrapped in winding trails, waterfalls, and over 7,000 trees, offering sweeping views of the Huangpu River and skyline.  The Shanghai Greenhouse Garden—often compared to Singapore’s iconic domes—brings tropical plants and architectural drama together under one airy, plant-rich roof.  Spring and autumn here are especially magical as seasonal blooms flush across the gardens and flower terraces. The park flows naturally from one experience to the next—industrial relics, wetlands, forest paths, themed gardens, cultural venues, and riverfront promenades all connect via gentle footpaths and elevated walkways. It’s a place that invites strolling, photography, or just lingering by the water. Families seem to love the Dog Paradise by the water, where pups run free, while culture seekers gravitate toward the adaptive reuses: an art centre in the old French pavilion and live shows planned for the Russian hall.  It’s a uniquely Shanghai mash‑up of environmental vision, Expo nostalgia, and creative park‑life. I came for a stroll, and walked away with a sense that this is a model of how cities can weave past and future into something beautiful—and endlessly inviting. #shanghaionbudget

✈️ 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

(There is an escalator at the exit of the Raffles shopping mall) Or you can call Didi, which can park in front of the hotel. It is very convenient. - In my opinion, if you walk from the subway, it may be a bit far.

Shanghai in May turned out to be a surprisingly clean and beautiful city. Although there was one day of heavy rain, I had a wonderful time at Disneyland, riding as many as 10 attractions 🥹. The tourist spots are relatively close to each other, making it a great city to visit with anyone! I wandered around photo-worthy spots with views of the Oriental Pearl Tower, capturing moments that were truly healing just by enjoying the scenery. Interestingly, the area near Wukang Mansion was even more charming than expected, so I’m considering spending more time there on my next visit 😛. Highly recommend traveling to Shanghai before the visa-free period ends!

🌆 What to Do Around The Bund, Shanghai Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, The Bund never gets old. This historic waterfront blends colonial architecture, epic skyline views, and a vibrant street life that captures the spirit of Shanghai. Here’s how to make the most of your time in and around The Bund: 📸 Take Iconic Skyline Photos from the Bridge Start your stroll from the Waibaidu Bridge, where you’ll get one of the most famous postcard views — the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower, and Jin Mao glittering across the river. It’s a must for that dramatic city shot! 🏙 Walk the Bund Promenade Stroll along the promenade lined with grand European-style buildings on one side and the futuristic skyline across the Huangpu River on the other. It's especially beautiful in soft daylight or golden hour. 🛍 Explore Nanjing Road Just a short walk from the Bund, Nanjing East Road is Shanghai’s shopping artery. Pop into local favorites like Pop Mart if you're obsessed with Labubus like me 🫣. 🥟 Eat Xiaolongbao (Soup Dumplings) You can’t be near the Bund and not stop for some xiaolongbao. Grab a bamboo basket of these juicy dumplings at a local eatery nearby for a classic Shanghai bite. 🌿 Visit North Bund Greenland Less crowded but equally scenic, North Bund Greenland offers sweeping skyline views, wide open lawns, and a relaxed atmosphere. Perfect for a short escape from the bustle. ☕ Chill at Rei Flower Coffee Head to Rei Flower Coffee — a lovely spot with some of the best views of Shanghai skyline. It’s ideal for sunset coffee sipping, journaling, or just watching the world go by. 🍲 Eat Hotpot Nearby Feeling hungry again? This area has plenty of hotpot restaurants, perfect for cozying up with friends or treating yourself to a steaming bowl of spicy broth and endless toppings. 🏛 Explore the Historic Waitan Waitan isn’t just the promenade — it’s also the surrounding streets and alleys with banks, old hotels, and restored buildings that once made Shanghai the "Paris of the East." Take your time to soak in the elegance. ✨ Pro Tip: The Bund is just as magical by day — fewer crowds, beautiful light for photos, and great visibility across the river. Aim for late afternoon to sunset for the best mix of golden light and city life.
