1 . As a Chinese who travels to Shanghai frequently, here is my suggested list of the top four things to do in Shanghai.
Admire the Bund
The Bund is the most famous and attractive sight there. The best time to admire the Bund is after dark when all the buildings are lit up, creating an extremely colorful and breathtaking scene. There are lots of sightseeing boats that let you view the beautiful Bund every night. Make sure to go on one of these boats. But you are not able to take good photos by boat.
Pay a visit to the Nanjing Road
Even if you are not a shop-lover, please spare an hour to visit Shanghai’s premier shopping street—Nanjing Road. There are upper-class department stores within 1920s-style buildings, along with world-famous brands and restaurants. This place is ideal to shop for authentic (真正的) Shanghainese snacks and souvenirs. If you don’t want to walk, a trackless sightseeing train only costs three yuan.
Take the Maglev Train
Take the Shanghai Maglev Train from Pudong International Airport to the Lujiazui financial district. The Maglev has a regular service speed of 430 km/h and is the fastest railway system in commercial operation in the world. This 30 km ride takes about eight minutes and 50 yuan one way, and 80 yuan for a round trip.
Taste the Hairy Crabs
Do a crab feast! Food hunting is important for most of the travelers. Shanghai’s cuisine is famous and hairy crabs are what you must eat there. However, hairy crabs are seasonal. If you go between September and November, it is the best time to not only enjoy hairy crabs, but a crab feast.
