hanghai is a city that can play "hide and seek". One moment, I was watching the car turning into a star track in the clouds of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. The next second, I went into the shade of wutong on Wukang Road and smelled the coffee fragrance from the old western-style houses. These three days, we don't follow the punch list, we just follow the breath of the city. Passing through every corner, discover the playful twinkle of this city.

Day1： Lujiazui Skyline - Touching the Heartbeat of the Magic City
Oriental Pearl TV Tower: City Totem on Cloud
As a landmark of Shanghai, the 263 meter transparent viewing platform of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower can overlook the Huangpu River and skyscrapers 360 °. It is recommended to climb the tower at 4 pm in the afternoon, which can not only capture the urban landscape during the daytime, but also witness the magical moment of The Bund lights gradually turning on at dusk. The 259 meter fully transparent suspended corridor inside the tower is a place for brave people to check in, and the visual impact of the traffic flow under their feet can be called the "cloud heartbeat experience".
Strategy tip:
Buy tickets on the official official account in advance (199 yuan for adult tickets) to avoid the peak queue at 10:00-14:00 on weekends.
The revolving restaurant in the tower provides a French afternoon tea set (368 yuan/person). The window seat needs to be booked 3 days in advance. The three piece set in Lujiazui (Shanghai center, World Financial Center, Jinmao Tower) outside the glass curtain wall is within reach.
Lujiazui: A New Trend Financial Jungle
The core area of Lujiazui is 5 minutes' walk from the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. The "Top of Shanghai center" Sightseeing Hall (180 yuan) on the 118 floor of Shanghai Center has the world's fastest elevator (18m/s), reaching 546m in 55 seconds. Recommend purchasing the "Lujiazui Architecture Atlas" at the "Duoyun Academy" on the B2 floor, and unlocking the design password for the three piece set of "bottle opener", "syringe", and "egg beater" by comparing it with the real scene.
Night Easter eggs:
After the Lujiazui Riverside Trail lights up at 19:00, you can take a cyberpunk blockbuster featuring the circular pedestrian bridge and neon car tracks.
The "Time Space Tunnel" art installation in the underground corridor of the Guojin Center, with its mirror reflecting an infinitely extending urban illusion, has become a new check-in point for INS.
Day2： The Epic of the Bund and the Zen of Tranquility: Through a Century of Splendor
The Bund: An Outdoor Museum of Gilded Years
The 52 historical buildings on the Bund form the "International Architecture Exhibition Group", and three recommended viewing routes are:
Architectural aesthetic line: from Garden Bridge of Shanghai to the 16 Pu, you can mainly watch the Gothic Bell Tower of the Customs Building (the Oriental Red played at the hour) and the emerald green dome of the Peace Hotel.
Night Scene Immersion Line: During the light show from 19:00 to 22:00, take a Pujiang cruise (120 yuan/person) and watch the interplay of light and shadow on both sides of the river forming a flowing golden foil.
Cultural secret boundary line: visit the Centennial Garden on No.1 of the Bund, drink English afternoon tea at the former site of the British Consulate, and look at the Oriental Pearl TV Tower through the rose wall.
Jing'an Temple: A Modern Zen Realm Under the Golden Summit
Jing'an Temple, as the most prestigious temple in Shanghai, features a magical contrast between its golden roof and surrounding luxury stores. Recommended to visit in the evening:
17: Listening to the evening class of monks at 00, the sound of Sanskrit and the traffic outside the temple form a unique symphony.
18: Climbing onto the open-air platform of Jiuguang Department Store at 30, taking a photo of the "Buddha's Light Shines" scene with the golden roof of the temple and the neon lights of Kerry Center in the same frame.
Food Easter eggs:
The "Lanxin Restaurant" in the Sinking Square of Jing'an Temple serves authentic local dishes. Braised pork belly with Brown Rice Cake (58 yuan) is a private menu for local gourmands.
Day3： Wukang Road Artistic Roaming and Disney Fantasy Carnival
Wukang Road: The Temporal and Spatial Fold of the French Concession
2 kilometers of Wukang Road condenses the century old literary and artistic history of Shanghai:
Architectural Tour: The ship shaped structure of Wukang Building (Normandy Apartments) is a photographic classic, and the Art Deco lines of Huaihai Building form an aesthetic dialogue with the French garden of Soong Ching ling's former residence.
New Trend Experience: When drinking coffee at "% Arabica", pay attention to the 1920 French water and electricity company cast iron pipe embedded in the wall; "JIYA GATHERING" mixes old furniture with contemporary art. On the terrace on the second floor, you can see the 9 spires of Wukang Building in the shadow of wutong.
Shanghai Disneyland: The Ultimate Carnival of DreamWorks
Disneyland must play three king fried items:
Create the fastest light wheel: the world's first catapult roller coaster, experience the sensation of weightlessness at 100km/h in the blue light track, it is recommended to wear GoPro to record the first perspective.
Soaring and Flying over the Horizon: 5D Ball Screen Flying Across Global Landmarks, Smelling the Fragrance of Grasslands and the Hot Wind of the Desert, A Divine Immersive Experience.
Fantasy Fairy Tale Castle: The 20:30 "Dreamlight Phantom Show" integrates projection, flames, and water curtains, with Marvel heroes and Disney princesses set ablaze in the night sky.

Food Map
Lujiazui: "Laimeiluzi" French food (1500+per capita) on the 53rd floor of Shanghai center, overlooking the city view through french window.
Jing'an Temple: The "Fuhehui" vegetarian food on Yuyuan Road (with an average of 800+per person) impresses Michelin judges with its Zen inspired presentation.
The charm of Shanghai lies in those 'unintentional' moments: when white-collar workers in Lujiazui hold coffee and wait for the elevator, half of their suit pockets reveal 'Blooming Flowers'; Beside the small cart of the shoemaker on Wukang Road, there is a skateboard covered in Disney stickers; When the Disney fireworks rose, the security guard quietly lifted the child over his shoulder. These tiny lights are warmer than the neon of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and softer than the bell of the Bund. The real Shanghai is the fireworks atmosphere wrapped under a modern coat, and the fairy tale houses hidden in high-rise forests. Three days is enough to fall in love with it, but also enough for you to plan when you leave - which lane will you go to have a bowl of small Wonton next time?
