Things to do in Shanghai

This day trip to Wuzhen, although short, allowed me to experience the unique atmosphere of Jiangnan's water towns from morning till night as I walked through Dongzha and Xizha. During the day, it's a misty, rainy town, and at night, it's a world of lights. The same river and the same rooftops present completely different scenery at different times. I started with Dongzha in the morning. Dongzha retains a more original sense of life. In the old streets and narrow alleys, you'll find residents' homes with clothes drying and couplets hanging. Underneath your feet are stone slabs polished by time. Strolling along the river, you see houses with white walls and dark tiles on one side, and the slowly flowing river on the other. Lanterns occasionally hanging under the eaves bring the scene to life like old photos. Entering various small museums, such as the Blue Calico Fabric Museum and the Distillery Workshop, you can see the tools and processes of traditional handicrafts, and you can better understand that "ancient towns" are not just backdrops for taking pictures, but a way of life that actually existed. In the afternoon, I moved on to Xizha, where the atmosphere was noticeably different. The streets of Xizha are wider, and the planning is more complete. B&Bs, coffee shops, and cultural and creative shops line the streets one after another. Compared to the sense of life in Dongzha, Xizha has more of a resort town feel. I took a special trip on a gondola, slowly moving towards the end of Xizha along the waterway. Sitting on the boat and looking at both sides, you can see the riverside inns, wooden windows, and stone bridges slowly passing by, as if you have become part of this ink painting. Compared to walking, taking a boat allows you to truly feel the meaning of the words "water town." On the way back along the water, you can see many riverside inns with wooden windows that open to river views. I made a special effort to wait in line to buy the locally famous shredded radish cake. A long queue formed in front of the small shop, and the aroma of fried dough and radish filled the air. When it was my turn, I took the freshly baked radish cake, still warm to the touch, and took a bite. The outer skin was crispy, and the inside was savory, fragrant, and juicy. Standing on the stone slab road of the ancient town, enjoying the evening breeze while eating the hot snack, that moment was more satisfying than any formal meal, and it became one of my most "human" memories of Wuzhen. After dusk, the night view of Xizha was the highlight of the trip. The sky slowly darkened, and the lanterns by the river and the outline lights of the buildings lit up one by one, reflecting on the water and illuminating the entire river. There were more tourists, but in some of the quieter corners, you could still find an alley with only yourself and the sound of water. This day trip to Dongzha and Xizha, although the itinerary was a bit tight and I could only get a superficial view of many places, was still rewarding. Dongzha allowed me to see more "authentic" traces of life, allowing me to imagine the daily life of residents washing, drying, and chatting here in the past. Xizha, on the other hand, is like a stage prepared for modern travelers, making the ancient town more comfortable, more photogenic, and more suitable for a slow stay. The combination of the two styles gave me a more three-dimensional impression of "ancient water towns." On the way back, as I recalled the stone slab road during the day and the lights reflected on the river at night, I felt that the value of travel may not lie in "how many attractions you visited," but in whether you really slowed down for a moment and focused on looking at the scenery around you. Wuzhen gave me such an opportunity to temporarily pause the fast-forward button of life.

Marvellous! Seriously, I didn’t expect it to turn out to be such a wonderful experience. My kid really enjoyed it, and we had an amazing day. I still can’t get over it even today. I loved the fireworks show at night—such a memorable experience. I will definitely visit Shanghai Disneyland again, and of course, I’ll book it through my favourite platform, Klook. Super duper easy to redeem, by just using your passport.

I made a dinner reservation for 5pm and I arrived 4pm to watch the sunset. Maybe because it was a Monday, I don't think it was that busy. The food at the restaurant was really good and there was a very big variety. O definitely recommend it!

Yu Garden and its surroundings are the MUST VISIT when you are in Shanghai. Awesome experience! Besides stepping through the history of Yu Garden, you get awed by the beautiful buildings, sculptures and plants. You also get to shop and eat authentic stuffs. Great to stay till the night for the night view too.

Shanghai's LEGOLAND is definitely the ultimate dream destination for family travel! The 26-meter-tall "Dada," the world's largest LEGO minifigure, stuns the audience upon entering, and the 8 themed areas contain over 75 interactive projects. From the thrilling global premiere of the LEGO Grand Prix to the gentle Dragon Coaster, children aged 2-12 can find their own exclusive fun. The most amazing is Miniland, where 85 million LEGO bricks are used to build Chinese landmarks such as Beijing's Hall of Supreme Harmony, Shanghai's Bund, and Suzhou Gardens. The indoor light and shadow show is paired with outdoor Yangtze River cruise scenery, and the details are full of surprises. The globally exclusive Monkey Kid themed area is amazing, with the Flower Fruit Mountain adventure project and the immersive puppet show "Havoc in Heaven." The 3.7-meter giant Bull Demon King puppet is super shocking, allowing children to experience traditional culture while playing.

We had an incredible time at Shanghai Wildlife Zoo Park. The park is spacious, well-organized, and home to a wide variety of animals. A real highlight was feeding the bears and tigers while sitting inside an enclosed vehicle, which was both exciting and memorable! Inside the zoo, there’s also a seal and otter performance, which are fun to watch. Additionally, there’s an acrobatics performance that you pay for separately, but it’s absolutely worth it. The performers kept us on the edge of our seats with dangerous stunts, and we even found our palms sweaty from the thrill! The safari-style areas allowed us to see animals up close in a more natural environment, and the facilities were clean and well-maintained. Highly recommended for families, thrill-seekers, and animal lovers visiting Shanghai!
