Day 1 Itinerary
Places visited: City Temple of Shanghai - Lvbolang Restaurant - Yu Garden - Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund
City Temple of Shanghai
The old town center of Shanghai where they still kept the houses in traditional style.
Lvbolang Restaurant
This is the spot for delicious Xiaolongbao (soup dumpling)
Yu Garden
Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund
Great location - right on the bund!
Day 2 Itinerary
Places visited: The Bund - Sun with Aqua - French Concession - Tianzifang - The Nest
The Bund
Sun with Aqua
Japanese restaurant on the bund with a nice lunch set and a great view.
French Concession
A quaint neighborhood with cute houses and fancy boutiques. The name says it all. A must visit!
Tianzifang
Labyrinth of narrow alleyways converted into a fun market of local crafts and food.
The Nest
This was recommended by some local expat friend as a trendy spot. The decor makes it look more like a lounge/nightclub so we had low expectation of the food. But everything we ordered was excellent. The main duck dish was exceptional!
Day 4 Itinerary
Places visited: 黄浦江水文化博物园
Water Temple Museum
Visited a friend in one of the surburbs south of Shanghai. She took us to this water temple museum nearby which was surprisingly nice.
