❤️I am Muhua, taking you to unlock 1001 warm ways to play in Shanghai!
1. Visit the North Bund Post Museum to see the century-old classical architecture
This European eclectic-style building, built in 1924, has been through a hundred years and still has an astonishing charm, with a fully transparent glass elevator, going up and down, giving the illusion of traveling through time.
2. Experience the magical world's library at Xujiahui Academy
To express that 'reading is sacred', architect David Chipperfiled opened up a three-story high hall, making the entire building transparent and magnificent, with bookshelves on every wall, walking inside the academy is like wandering through a sea of books.
3. Go to Sichuan North Road Bridge to take a photo with Shanghai's iconic trio
Here you can take a photo with the three tall buildings of Shanghai in one frame, and because there are so many 'magicians', it is also known as the Magician's Bridge.
4. Visit Sweet Love Road to see the heart-shaped traffic lights
Shanghai's most romantic road, not only has a pleasant name but also has a charming atmosphere, and the popular heart-shaped traffic lights have also appeared in many Shanghai people's wedding photos.
5. Go to the 'Forest-bound' subway on Yan'an West Road
In the summer, Line 3's Yan'an West Road station transforms into a fairy tale world's forest train station.
6. Visit Yuyuan Road Citywalk
This artistic road is lush with trees, and the small shops on both sides of the street have their own characteristics, eat and stroll, and time just slips away.

The combination of Shanghainese architectural elements such as red bricks, gray walls, and wooden window shutters with international brands, and cuisines from various countries converge here.

The Shanghai Sweet Love Road Citywalk is here! It's super suitable for couples
Shanghai's winter Sweet Love Road Citywalk is touched by the details.
Hongkou's Sweet Love Road, friends who come to Shanghai must come and take a look~
This road is not long, but it's very detailed and sweet!
The heart-shaped traffic light is very iconic, great for taking photos~
Walking tonight, I found that there are many projection lights along the way, and on both sides are 'I love you' in various languages~ All the message walls are filled with couples' declarations of love

A sweet love road filled with the breath of everyday life
Compared to the bustling intersection of Sweet Love Road and its branch, as well as the romantic and lively southern end of Sweet Love Road, the northern end is exceptionally tranquil, with tall and straight metasequoias standing on both sides of the road. I think to myself, if summer comes, this will surely be a quiet yet romantic shaded path.
Here, there are garden houses built in the 1930s and 1940s that still look beautiful today, and there are also ordinary residential buildings, everywhere filled with the breath of human life.
On a low wall, a stray cat is intently enjoying its meal, completely ignoring me beside it, until I meowed at it. Only then did it turn its head and look at me with a pair of puzzled eyes, as if to say 'Why are you disturbing me?' 😄😄

Shanghai's most charming street—Hongkou Road
💖I have always loved Hongkou District, especially the Hongkou of my childhood, which now only exists in my memory. In my collection of streets, I have written about many roads in Hongkou: Liyang Road, Changchun Road, Dongdaming Road, Emei Road, Nanxun Road, Kunshan Road, Kunshan Garden Road, Harbin Road, Duolun Road, Sweet Love Road, Shanyin Road, etc. Hongkou also has many streets with a strong local flavor, the photos in this note come from Hongkou District:
