We started our journey by arriving in Shanghai at midday via a sleeper train from Xi'an, a unique way to travel in China. After a quick taxi ride to our luxurious hotel, the Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund, we were greeted with breathtaking views of the famous Pudong Skyline.
Our first stop was the serene yet bustling Yu Gardens, where despite the Sunday crowds, we enjoyed the traditional Chinese architecture and peaceful atmosphere. Lunch was at a charming local restaurant, offering delicious food at a great value—one of the hidden gems in Shanghai!
After a brief rest at our hotel, soaking in more views of the Bund, we headed to the towering Shanghai Tower. We went straight to the top, marveling at the panoramic views of the city from one of the world's tallest buildings. As night fell, we strolled through Pudong, passing by the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower, which was dazzling with its night-time lights.
The adventure continued as we took the unique Shanghai Sightseeing Tunnel under the Huangpu River, emerging at the Bund. Here, we captured stunning photos with the illuminated Shanghai skyline as our backdrop. To wrap up our day, we indulged in some retail therapy on the famous Nanjing Road, before enjoying a leisurely walk along the Bund back to our hotel.
