In Shanghai, I think the main thing is to go downtown and feel the breath of an international metropolis.
The main attractions are:
People's Square: the center of Shanghai. There are Shanghai History Museum, Shanghai Grand Theatre, Shanghai Urban Planning Museum, People's Square, and a big underground shopping mall (but it's easy to get lost. . ), the Shanghai Municipal Government is also here. East to Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street and Bund, west to Nanjing West Road. On the south is Huaihai Road. Extend in all directions
Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street: the first commercial street in China. Very lively. You can stroll from People's Square to the Bund at the other end.
Bund (a must-see attraction):
It is best to come when the weather is fine. If you come at night, when night falls, you can see both the daytime scenery and the colorful night scenes.
Lujiazui, Binjiang Avenue:
Cross Lujiazui financial district opposite Huangpu River. You can go to the highest point in the world: Shanghai World Financial Center 100 floor sightseeing hall, overlooking Shanghai. Of course, you can also go to Jinmao Tower or Oriental Pearl TV Tower.
Nanjing West Road:
One of Shanghai's top commercial streets is home to top fashion luxury brands (hang lung plaza, CITIC Pacific Plaza, Meilong Plaza, Jiuguang Department Store, Shanghai Center, etc.). ) and the old British department store Marks &；; Spencer (the only store in mainland China)
Huaihai Road:
The prestigious commercial street is fashionable and elegant. This is one of the favorite roads of Shanghai locals. There are world-class brands and fashion brands that are close to the people. The paths around Huaihai Road are also elegant and tasteful, such as Changle Road and yandang road.
Xintiandi:
Near Huaihai Road, it is a fashionable landmark transformed from Shanghai Shikumen old-fashioned residence. Very foreign. There are many bars, fine restaurants and fine shops.
Xujiahui:
Business center. There are many large shopping centers. A good place to shop.
Yuyuan Garden:
Shanghai Chenghuang Temple. Very busy place. There are many snacks, such as the best Nanxiang steamed buns! There are also century-old Shanghai gourmet restaurants: Shanghai Old Hotel, Green Wave Gallery and so on.
Around Shanghai:
Jiading Shanghai International Circuit (F 1), Qingpu Oriental Land, Sheshan Resort. Or go to Zhujiajiao, Zhouzhuang, Wuzhen and other Jiangnan water towns for a day. These places can be reached by bus at the tourist distribution center of Shanghai Stadium.
You'd better check the routes and scenic spots on the Internet, and you'd better be familiar with the Shanghai subway. Many places can be reached by subway, which is very convenient.
As for hotels, you can stay in economic business hotels in urban areas, Jinjiang Inn, Home Inn, Motel 168 and so on. , it is quite cost-effective. It is better to be next to the subway station, which is more convenient.
Finally, I wish you and your mother a happy stay in Shanghai!
