My Trip

Take in the old concession skyline from the Bund on the west bank of the Huangpu, then string together the old town with short walks and taxi hops — the Nanjing Road East pedestrian street, Yu Garden, and the Chenghuangmiao traditional market — before heading to trendy Xintiandi and Tianzifang in the afternoon, feeling 'old Shanghai to modern Shanghai' in a single day. The Bund-to-Yu-Garden runs on a north-south axis while Xintiandi and Tianzifang flow naturally to the southwest, so you stay within one cluster with little wasted travel.
