Activity itinerary

EXPO Park (Pass by)

Experience where East meets West in Shanghai's stunning legacy park! Built on the 2010 World Expo site, this massive green space on the Huangpu River honours its international roots. Today, the former French, Russian, Italian, and Luxembourg pavilions have been transformed into vibrant cultural venues. Discover a modern Asian garden art hub at the World Flower Garden and a peaceful escape at Shenyuan, a classical Chinese garden with pavilions, bridges, and lakes. The park is an engineering marvel, home to Asia's largest greenhouse and the innovative Twin Hills, which hide galleries and exhibitions inside its structure. Here, history, nature, and world-class culture converge, offering a perfect microcosm of Shanghai's dynamic and welcoming spirit.

Nanpu Bridge (Pass by)

This landmark spiral bridge isn't just a crossing—it's an architectural spectacle. Its giant circular ramps, like a coiled dragon, offer breathtaking, elevated views of the glittering Pudong skyline and historic Bund. As the first bridge to connect old and new Shanghai, it symbolises the city's thrilling leap into the future. See it lit up at night for a truly magical experience. Stand in front of the bridge, get ready for some fantastic photos with the bridge as background

Huangpu River (Pass by)

Pedal through the heart of Shanghai's history and future along the Huangpu River. This mighty waterway is the city's lifeblood, where the grand colonial architecture of The Bund on the west bank dramatically faces the soaring skyscrapers of Pudong on the east. A bike gives you the freedom to explore this stunning contrast at your own pace. The dedicated riverside paths offer an unobstructed, moving panorama you can't get from a car or boat. Feel the city's energy as you glide from historic piers to futuristic towers, with the river breeze as your companion. It’s an active, immersive way to connect the soul of old Shanghai with its dazzling modern ambition.

Mercedes-Benz Arena (Pass by)

Experience a world-class performance within Shanghai's iconic "flying saucer". More than just a concert hall, the Mercedes-Benz Arena is a spectacular landmark on the Huangpu River, originally built for the 2010 World Expo. Its futuristic design houses an 18,000-seat venue where global superstars like Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Ed Sheeran have all held electrifying shows. This arena is a premier hub for international entertainment in Asia. Beyond the main stage, explore themed exhibitions, lively weekend markets, and immersive cultural events that offer a true taste of Shanghai's dynamic energy. It’s the ultimate spot to witness where cutting-edge architecture meets world-famous entertainment.

China Art Museum (Pass by)

Discover Shanghai's artistic soul at the China Art Museum. Housed in the former China Pavilion from the 2010 World Expo, its iconic "Chinese Crown" design of layered, brilliant red is a masterpiece itself. This colossal space is dedicated to modern and contemporary Chinese art, showcasing both classical heritage and cutting-edge creations. Wander its vast galleries to see stunning ink paintings, exquisite sculptures, and powerful multimedia installations. It's more than a gallery; it's a journey through China's evolving creative spirit, all within one of the city's most famous architectural landmarks. A must-visit for anyone wanting to feel the pulse of Chinese culture.

Oriental Pearl Tower (Dongfang Mingzhu) (Pass by)

Rise above Shanghai at the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower! Its unique design of eleven shimmering "pearls" along two towering columns has defined the city's skyline for decades. Ascend to its observation spheres for breathtaking, panoramic views where the historic Bund and the futuristic Pudong skyscrapers dramatically meet at the Huangpu River. For a thrill, step onto the transparent glass-floored walkway hovering in the air. More than just a tower, it's a vibrant cultural hub with a futuristic city history museum, rotating restaurant, and even a small shopping centre inside. It's the classic, must-do Shanghai experience.

Shanghai Tower (Pass by)

Soar to the top of China at the Shanghai Tower, the nation's tallest building and a true marvel of modern design. Its elegant, twisting form isn't just beautiful—it's an engineering feat that tames typhoon winds. In just 55 seconds, the world's fastest lifts whisk you to the 118th-floor observation deck for a breathtaking, 360-degree view where historic Shanghai meets its soaring future. More than a skyscraper, it's a vertical city with the world's highest hotel, avant-garde galleries, and sky gardens within its energy-saving double skin. Experience the pinnacle of ambition and see all of Shanghai laid at your feet.

Waibaidu Bridge (Pass by)

Experience Shanghai's journey from past to present on the historic Waibaidu Bridge, affectionately known as the Garden Bridge. This elegant landmark is China’s first all-steel bridge and has watched over the city since 1907. Standing at the northern end of the iconic Bund, it offers the perfect vantage point: gaze towards Pudong's futuristic skyscrapers on one side and the grand European-style buildings of old Shanghai on the other. More than just a crossing, it's a place of life and tradition, often featured in films and filled with couples taking romantic pre-wedding photos. Visit at dusk when its elegant steel frame is beautifully illuminated against the skyline, perfectly capturing the spirit of Shanghai.

North Bund Area (Pass by)

This riverside promenade offers all the iconic views of the legendary Bund and futuristic Pudong, but with space to breathe and a local, artistic vibe. What makes it special? Once an industrial port, it's now a vibrant cultural corridor. Stroll or cycle along its wide, landscaped paths, passing repurposed warehouses turned into chic art spaces and cafes. The highlight is the "Source Point" viewing platform—an architecturally stunning deck that juts over the Huangpu River, framing the perfect, panoramic photo of the skyline without the jostling crowds. Come here for a morning jog, a sunset picnic, or to see the skyscrapers light up at night in brilliant, reflective silence. It's the sophisticated, peaceful side of Shanghai's waterfront.
