Catching the romantic sunrise on the Century Bridge in Shanghai's early morning

North Bund | I've found all the perfect less-crowded photo spots of Lujiazui ✨ This city walk route is absolutely amazing—few people! Free! Snap a quick shot to frame the Lujiazui trio in one photo 📸 And the entire route is less than 2km, making it effortless to explore～ 🚶🏻♀️ Best photo route: 📍 No. 588 Dongdaming Road (Exit 2 of North Bund Raffles City): 👉 Just exit from Exit 3 of Tilanqiao Station on Metro Line 12 👉 There's an awesome pedestrian overpass with a super stylish steel structure 👉 The highlight is framing the entire Lujiazui trio in your shot! 📍 North Bund Riverside Walk: 👉 A 5-minute walk from Raffles City 👉 Look for the "Rainbow Bridge"—the curve of the wooden boardwalk makes a perfect foreground 👉 Even more stunning at sunset when the golden light reflects on the river 📍 Hongkou Ferry Terminal: 👉 A full-on old Shanghai vibe for your shots 👉 Pairing the ferry as a foreground with the Lujiazui trio at dusk is pure magic 📍 White Magnolia Plaza: 👉 The L-floor observation deck is a hidden gem 👉 So few people you’ll think it’s a private viewing platform 💡 Pro tips: 1. Best shooting time: 3-5 PM for soft light and sunset shots 2. Bring a telephoto lens—70-200mm is ideal 3. Don’t miss the hidden viewing terrace near the 2nd-floor restrooms in Raffles City 4.
