Escaping Shanghai to live in a suburban villa, life should be this free and easy

Never expected to start living a retired life before 40! It’s been half a year since I moved to a lakeside home 🏠The environment is truly great, and the occupancy rate is really low There are more people during holidays, occasionally chatting, drinking tea, and eating with neighbors Some say life is inconvenient There’s a convenience store at the community entrance Deliveries are brought straight to the door, which is very convenient If you want to go shopping, there are several shopping districts within three kilometers After work, I stay home alone, basking in the sun and reading On weekends, I stroll with my kids in the garden and run wild by the lake Getting closer to nature’s energy is much more comfortable than being stuck in the city~ No need to deal with unnecessary socializing, no rush hour traffic Life is unhurried and calm, this kind of slow time is just so comfortable

Modern Marvels & Timeless Views in Shanghai 🚶♂️🏙️ Get ready for an urban adventure through Shanghai’s must-see icons, blending sleek skyscrapers, buzzing cultural spots, and riverside romance—all in one unforgettable stroll! Start with Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, the liveliest shopping boulevard in China (Henan Middle Road, Huangpu District, open all day). Dive into laidback morning walks or prime evening people-watching. Pro tip: Early arrival means fewer crowds and soft sunlight for your shots. Don’t miss snaps featuring modern storefronts framed by heritage buildings—super insta-worthy on a sunny day! Next, head to The Bund (Zhongshan East Road, right by the Huangpu River—open all day), Shanghai’s dreamy riverside promenade lined with colonial architecture and shimmering city skylines. For that epic photo, pose with the futuristic Pudong skyline behind you, especially as day turns to neon-lit night. Take a moment to soak up both the city buzz and gentle river breeze—my personal highlight! Finish by hopping onto the Jinling East Road Ferry (No.141 Bund, open 7:00 AM–9:00 PM) for a unique, budget-friendly way to cross the river. The Ferry offers front-row city views, especially on cloudy or rainy days—the contrast with gleaming glass towers is unreal. Pack a light raincoat just in case, as weather shifts quickly. Quick Tips: Wear comfy shoes, as you’ll be on your feet all day. Plan to visit in the early morning or late evening for magical light and fewer crowds. Always keep an eye out for changing weather! #Shanghai #UrbanAdventure #ModernArchitecture #TheBund #CityViews
