I went to Shanghai for 2 nights and 3 days 🇨🇳 Day 1 I arrived at Centrair early, so I went to Flight of Dreams ✨ From Terminal 1 to Flight of Dreams There were lots of delicious Nagoya gourmets 😋 I ate my way around! There were also lots of experience spaces I visited the cockpit of an aircraft that was actually flying! I flew to Shanghai from Terminal 2 on Spring Airlines ✈️ I asked for a car to pick me up from the airport, so it was easy to get there! The hotel I stayed at was the Renaissance Shanghai Yu Garden Hotel There was Yuyuan Garden right in front of me, and I could walk there to enjoy it! After that, I went to the Bund to enjoy the neon town, but it was turned off! The lights went out at 10pm 😭 It's a good idea to know this in advance if you're going! Day 2 To Shanghai Disneyland! I entered an hour before opening with early entry. There were no people so it was easy to take photos, and I was able to ride the Zootopia attraction without having to wait in line. I ate a lot while watching the day show and the parade 😋😋 At night, I had time until the ILLUMINATE castle show, so I went to see Mickey 💕 The night show was really moving. On the way back, I realized that I had left my luggage in a locker in the park due to an unexpected emergency 🚨 It was already 10pm at this point... I asked the security guards and they told me to come tomorrow I reluctantly went to the hotel 🏨 Day 3 I left for Disney early in the morning to pick up my luggage! I took the shuttle bus to the park 🚌 I'm glad it was there safely 💕 I decided not to use the lockers in the park anymore lol Since I had time before my flight I went shopping and had lunch at Disney Town No matter where I ate, the Chinese food was too delicious! I want to go to Shanghai again 🇨🇳 #Shanghai #ShanghaiDisney #YuYuan

Shanghai trip that I booked right away as soon as my Chinese visa was released I went alone, so I was worried and worried before going, but Shanghai is a travel choice that I absolutely! have no worries or regrets about🇨🇳 I went alone for 3 nights and 4 days and saw everything that Shanghai is famous for, including the Bund, Nanjing East Road, Oriental Pearl Tower, Yuyuan, and Disney!! Also, I went alone, but I didn't have this opportunity so I rented a costume at Yuyuan and enjoyed the fairy experience🥰 🧳3 nights and 4 days travel schedule🧳 📍Day01 Airport → Check-in to accommodation → Nanjing East Road → Dinner → Huangpu River Cruise → Bund night view → Accommodation * I couldn't go on the Huangpu River Cruise because of the heavy snow on the first day, but if you have time, this is a recommended experience! 📍Day02 Accommodation → Wukanglu + Wukang Mansion → Lunch → Xintiandi + Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea → Yewon → Yewon Costume Rental Snap Photo Experience → Waitan → Dinner The second day was the busiest day of the year. If you go to Wukang Mansion in the morning, there will be fewer people, so it's great for taking pictures!! Also, when moving from Wukanglu to Xintiandi, instead of taking a taxi or subway, try using a 🚲shared bicycle🚲!! There's only a straight path, so it's so convenient and great to ride a bicycle and enjoy the Shanghai air~ It's like Korea's Ddareungi, so I recommend riding a bicycle☺️☺️ The highlight of the second day was experiencing the fairy costume + snapshot photo experience at Yewon. I went alone, so I wanted to take pretty pictures, so I made a reservation in advance! (You can go on the day without a reservation and ask for the experience!) The staff was so kind, and they asked me what style I wanted, showed me a draft, and made it pretty! I'm crazy about Chinese dramas, so I asked them to do it while showing me the photos I wanted, and they did it so well! The photographers even showed me poses for the snapshots and said they'd take more photos if I wanted to!! In addition, they even used various props to take the photos, so it was one of the most fun experiences!! If you have time, it's also fun to experience being a fairy at Yewon, so try it out!🤭🤭 📍Day 03 Accommodation → Oriental Pearl Tower → Lunch → Disneyland → Accommodation The third day was Disneyland Day!! Actually, when I went to Hong Kong, I rode all the rides I wanted at Disneyland, so my goal for Shanghai Disneyland was Zootopia, Tron, and the parade, so I didn't do the open run and went leisurely around 2 o'clock! So I looked around Oriental Pearl Tower in the morning, went to a nearby shopping mall to shop, ate, and left my luggage at the accommodation and headed to Disney~ When I visited Disney, it was Christmas season + the weekend, so there were really a lot of people!! But I didn't have to wait separately to enter Disney or Zootopia! I think I waited about an hour and a half for the rides on the weekends! I also went alone, so I got stuck in the single ride line and went into Zootopia after waiting for 30 minutes ✌️✌️ I also waited for about an hour and a half to ride Tron, and I think I waited less than 40 minutes for the other rides!! I also saw the Disney highlights, the illumination and fireworks, and went back to my lodging! To be honest, I think the illuminations I saw in Hong Kong were more spectacular. In Shanghai, everyone was there 2 hours before the illuminations, so I couldn't see them properly, which was a bit disappointing. 🥹 📍Day 04 Check-out → Tarunpa shopping → Airport → Korea On the last day, I did a quick Tarunpa shopping. There were a lot of snacks I wanted to take back to Korea, so I filled my suitcase with everything from Lay's potato chips to Oreos and headed to the airport👍 I took the Maghreb train to the airport. It only takes 7 minutes to get to the airport, so ride the Maghreb train!!! 💛 This was my 3 nights and 4 days in Shanghai, which were both fulfilling and leisurely!! I want to write more about the restaurants and experiences, but if I get the chance, I'll write about them in a new post! Don't be afraid of traveling alone in Shanghai. Just go. It was such a great trip that I want to go again.🥹🥹 #January travel subsidy event #February travel subsidy event #Shanghai #上海#shanghai #China travel #Overseas travel #trip

As a Shanghainese, the Yuyuan Lantern Festival is a must-see every year, but this year I captured a unique perspective. This time, I took the road less traveled, seeking out lesser-known "upstairs" photo spots. The bustling crowd admiring the lanterns on the ground became the perfect atmosphere for my photos. · Friendly reminder: These spots are better for landscape photography. If you want to be in the photo, it's best to find a regular spot on the ground. · 📍Enter through Gate 5 and turn right, go to the second floor of Anta, find the restroom, and the passage next to it offers a dreamy view of the lanterns from the second floor! This spot is also suitable for portraits. (Pic 1️⃣) 📍After leaving the restroom, turn left and go inside. There is construction work, so watch your step (Pic 2️⃣3️⃣) 📍Anta 3rd floor, left side, aerial passage to Tianyu Building (Pic 1️⃣0️⃣) 📍Tianyu Building 2nd floor, Peet's Coffee terrace (Pic 5️⃣) 📍Tianyu Building (near Bailing Building) 3rd and 4th floor stairwell, where you can capture Yuyuan Garden and Lujiazui in the same frame (Pic 7️⃣8️⃣) 📍Huabao Building 3rd floor, tea room terrace, with Ninghui Pavilion as the background (Pic 6️⃣) 📍Huabao Building 3rd floor, the same terrace facing Lujiazui, capturing Changxi Building (Pic 4️⃣) 📍Near Gate 3, find Bawang Chaji, go to the 2nd floor 📍Jiushi Building 2nd floor, retro corridor, also suitable for portraits 📍Lantern corridor next to "Zhuang Zhou's Dream of a Butterfly," stairs/elevator next to the toy store to the 2nd floor (the balcony may be 🔒) Pic 1️⃣1️⃣ 📍The same staircase to the 4th floor (may be 🔒) · This route maximizes the use of high-angle shots in Yuyuan Mall.

On the first morning of my trip to Shanghai, I decided to visit the renowned Yu Gardens - and what an unforgettable experience it was! As soon as I stepped inside, the bustling city outside seemed to melt away, replaced by a serene landscape of traditional Chinese architecture, flowing ponds, and meticulously crafted rockeries. #historicallandmarks 🌿 The gardens are a harmonious blend of nature and art, with every element thoughtfully places to create a peaceful retreat. My favourite moment was walking across the zigzag bridges, which not only provided a beautiful views of the koi ponds but are also said to ward off evil spirits! The quiet corners of the garden allowed for a moment of reflection, while the intricate details of the pavilions and cravings revealed the artistry of ancient China. It truly felt like I had traveled back in time. #tradition #culture Just outside the gardens, the lively Yuyuan Bazaar offers a stark yet charming contrast.

#Shanghai, where I briefly went alone, is full of only good memories. There were many things to see, with a harmonious blend of Chinese style and modernity. The streets were clean and had a unique atmosphere, creating an exotic feel. At night, I was overwhelmed by the splendor of Yuyuan and the Bund, and the lights on the wet road from the rain dyed even the floor with light. Rather, the gentle rain was the highlight of this trip. #ShanghaiTravel #100TravelStyles

If anyone has the opportunity to go to Shanghai, you must not miss this landmark. It is a very beautiful old Chinese-style garden. I recommend going in the evening because the lights and colors make the building look even more beautiful. It is very pleasant to walk around because it is quite a large place. It is a place where the word beautiful can be used very sparingly. 🏯 Yuyuan Garden is full of restaurants, food sources, souvenirs and photo spots. It can be said that it is a one-stop place for foodies, shoppers and photo enthusiasts. I guarantee that every corner will be beautiful. Note: There are a lot of people, especially after 6:00 PM. It is very lively. Some places are crowded and crowded. How to get there: Line 10/14 Yuyuan Station Exit 1, turn right and walk along the park. You will find the entrance to the market. Or look for the path where many people are walking. It is not difficult to find. #ShanghaiTravel #100TravelTips #TravelChinaByYourself #TravelAbroad #TravelChina #TravelAbroadByYourself
