3. 🧱 Continue to Rockbund
About a 10–15 minute walk from Lai Lai Snack Dumpling

A quiet colonial-style area with old European buildings.

Perfect for a post-meal walk and chic photo opportunities.

This area also features the Rockbund Art Museum for a light art experience.

4. 📸 Snap photos in the “hidden alley” with a view of the Oriental Pearl Tower
Walk past Rockbund towards the river, and you’ll find an alley lined with old buildings, with the Oriental Pearl Tower visible in the distance.

Take upward shots for a cinematic vibe.

This iconic spot is still relatively unknown!

🧠 Tips:
Use a telephoto lens or zoom slightly on your phone to make the tower appear closer.
Hold a milk tea or ice cream for effortlessly chic photos.

5. 🧧 On your way back, stop by a small shrine on Nanjing Road to “scratch lottery tickets and pray.”
Located near the shopping malls and toy stores.

Locals come here to draw fortune sticks and pray for wealth, work, and luck.

Quiet, simple, yet surprisingly spiritual.
