#shanghaitrip Shanghai is one of the biggest cities in the world and the economic center of China. Walking in the bund makes me feel like back to the last century, the retro western architecture combines well with modern life, the city itself is a living history book where you can find old buildings and museums in every corner of the city. It also has lots of Chinese style buildings which are also extremely charming. Overall it’s an amazing experience to stay in this vibrant city

Address - 🚅Go to Yuyuan Station on the metro, it’s a 2 minute walk from there. Ambiance/Facilities - 🏮There’s lots of street snack stalls, festive music and red lanterns. Great for CNY instagram pics. Highlights - 🎊 The lanterns are great, but beware it’s really BUSY so be careful not to get squished. Avg. Price per Person - 🧧 Free！ Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re in Shanghai over Chinese New Year swing by YuYuan gardens, for some festive feelings (as they’re in shirt supply in Shanghai) but don’t spend too much time here of queue up for the bridge, it’s not worth it. Take some snaps and move on somewhere less busy. #Eatshanghai #Shanghai #tripblazers #chinesenewyear

Yuyuan Road, especially the stretch between Zhongshan Park and Jiangsu Road Subway Station, is one of the best streets to visit on weekends in Shanghai. Lots of interesting restaurants and cafes to try. It is a treelined street which is cooling in summer and picturesque during autumn and winter.

Isn't that all amazing things in life 🧬 are mostly simple ? Such is the way of celebrating this 🖤 black gold. With not much of a complication, and ability to give you that same magical effect; espresso is always my go to drink when I'm in an utter confusion and just need relief. Situated in Yuyuan road, this cafe has the Arabica type beans which the barista🧑‍🍳 made it in Italian way to filter this lucrative potion and served it. Like a bartender, every barista is more of a genie 🧞 that they create this magic 🪄. The place around this cafe was also perfect for a nice walk in the afternoon to boost the melanin ☺️ so you won't be sleep deprived in the night haha. I am in love with this espresso !! #coffeeshop #urbanexplorer #summerdays#urbanexplorer#tripfoodie

Hidden on Yuyuan Road is a pop-up venue with no staff members and nothing for sale. Looks can be deceiving. It’s not your clothing boutique, instead, it’s a small storefront filled with stories depicted through pictures and text. As time passes, old stories on display at this city museum get swapped out for new ones. Nestled at the entrance of a traditional lane residential compound, the tiny venue’s atmosphere feels a bit retro. At it’s opening, stories about what live used to be like on Yuyuan Road filled the walls and hung from the ceiling. Passersby have a chance to contribute their own stories to the current theme as well. Stationery tools, pens, and paper are at their disposal, while tables and chairs provide an open space for writing. Reading the stories and secrets of local residents give the street a new meaning and an added layer of depth. Most of the writings on display are written in Chinese, but some stories in foreign languages can be found too. Be sure to drop by if you’re in the area.

In the winter, Yuyuan Road seems to be bathed in a soft glow of time, with every corner filled with the warm atmosphere of Christmas. The Christmas market in the alleys is bustling with people, and the air is filled with the scent of cinnamon and mulled wine. The handmade stalls are adorned with a dazzling array of Christmas decorations, catching the eyes of passersby. I picked a delicate wooden reindeer as a souvenir of this trip. Stepping into a café, the melodious voices of a Christmas choir tell enchanting winter stories. The most unforgettable moment was the light show in front of Yuyuan Mansion, where colorful lights danced to the rhythm of the music, making the old house look like a dreamy painting. As night fell, I wandered along Yuyuan Road under the starlit sky, with melodious music in my ears and a warm feeling in my heart.

Yuyuan Road, a street in the western part of the downtown area of the Magic City. This road is not wide, but it is not short either, stretching from Jing'an Temple at the easternmost end to the vicinity of Zhongshan Park at the westernmost end, starting from Changde Road in the east to Changning Road in the west, spanning the Jing'an and Changning districts. Yuyuan Road was once as famous as Xiafei Road, known as one of Shanghai's 'upper corners,' and is one of the 64 'never to be widened' streets in Shanghai. In the third year of the Xuantong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty (1911), the Ministry of Works overstepped its bounds to reclaim land and build this road, which was named after the famous garden 'Yuyuan' at that time, and 'Yuyuan Road' was completed in 1918. Since then, numerous famous figures in the modern history of Shanghai and even China have left their footprints here, with countless celebrities having lived on Yuyuan Road, which can be described as 'a century-old Yuyuan Road, half of the modern history of Shanghai'. It can be said that Yuyuan Road, rich in historical heritage, is no longer just a tree-lined avenue. Architecture and culture intersect here, and along the way, there are 'readable' highlights, worthy of people's leisurely stroll and careful appreciation.

Today, the sun is exceptionally bright, and I am excited to start a day of Citywalk. First, I arrived at Yuyuan Road, which exudes a unique atmosphere where historical charm and modern vitality blend. Deep in an alley, in front of a large billboard endorsed by Wang Yibo, a couple and a mother-daughter pair were taking photos with great interest. Their figures complemented the billboard, creating a vivid and lively scene, as if performing a wonderful interlude in life. At the entrance of a small shop on the street, a cute cartoon character playfully holds up mahjong tiles, seemingly enthusiastically soliciting business. Next, I went to Changning Financial Park, where after registering my information, I was allowed to enter for a visit. The park has 11 old Western-style houses, all built in the 1920s during the Republic of China, each with its own charm. In the park, a loquat tree in front of a building was particularly eye-catching. The tree was laden with ripe loquat fruits, a yellow cluster that looked like strings of golden lanterns, shining with an enticing luster, truly making one marvel at nature's generous gifts. Then I headed to Zhongshan Park, which I hadn't visited in decades. It seemed like a paradise on earth, with sunlight filtering through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows. Walking on the path, a gentle breeze blew, carrying the fragrance of flowers and trees, and that tranquility and beauty made me feel exceptionally comfortable. Finally, I entered East China University of Political Science and Law (Changning Campus). The predecessor of this university was St. John's College, established in 1894. The campus is filled with various Chinese and Western-style buildings, all steeped in a rich historical and cultural atmosphere. Just entering the campus, on the lush lawn, a female student was intently taking photos for a couple. The boy held a doctoral cap gently above his girlfriend's head, while the girlfriend posed playfully, their youthful spirit and romantic atmosphere perfectly intertwined, like a heartwarming symphony. When I saw the statue of Zou Taofen in the Taofen Building, a sense of solemnity and reverence suddenly arose, and the profound sense of history deeply settled here.
