Old Street Charm✨

Shanghai’s Fusion of Modern Marvels & Timeless Charm 🌆✨
Ready for an adventure bridging ancient vibes with futuristic skylines? Experience Shanghai Old Street, the dazzling Oriental Pearl Tower, and an enchanting night along the Huangpu River—rain or shine, the city’s layered beauty shines through!

Start at Shanghai Old Street for a stroll among restored Western and Chinese architecture. Grab a piping hot street snack from one of the nostalgic shops (the buns by the archway are my rainy-day go-to!) and snap close-ups of the intricate rooflines. On cloudy days, the lanterns pop against the moody sky—a truly insta-worthy angle.

Next, journey to the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower (No. 1, Century Avenue, Pudong) for panoramic city views. Get there early to avoid lines; the glass-floor observatory is a thrilling must-do. For dramatic photos, face the tower from Lujiazui pedestrian bridge—the rain can add a cinematic city-glow to your sunset shots. Bring a waterproof jacket instead of an umbrella; sudden gusts love to surprise outdoor photographers!

As evening falls, cap your day with a scenic Huangpu River Cruise (No. 141/481, Zhongshan East 2nd Rd, Huangpu District). Even in drizzle, the city’s skyline sparkles brilliantly. Secure an upper deck spot for epic, unobstructed shots; but pack a rain cover for your camera and layer up (Shanghai nights by the river get chilly fast). Cruises run 11:00–22:00 year-round—book early, especially after 7 PM when the lights are best.
