How to Make the Most of Different Days in Shanghai?

Your Shanghai tour itinerary totally depends on your own schedule and personal interests. If you’re time-tight traveler with only half a day, or just a few hours' layover, the number of sightseeing spots is quite limited, usually 1 ~ 2 attractions in downtown. The Bund is the best recommendation.

If you have a full day, you can arrange a Shanghai city day tour covering about 4 major attractions in central Shanghai, such as stroll along the Bund, explore Chinese classical architecture and local bazaar in Yu Garden, visit the cultural treasury - Shanghai Museum and ascend up one iconic skyscraper, e.g. Shanghai World Financial Center. Above sites are the best city showcases you can’t miss. Or, you can spend the whole day making a special-themed visit of your favorite spot and an attraction in suburb of Shanghai, such as Shanghai Disney Resort, Zhujiajiao Water Town.

If you get two days, then you can visit more attractions, try more local featured activities and travel in a more leisurely way, such as a walking tour in Wukang Road, a visit of Xintiandi or Tianzifang where exhibits modern urban vibe among traditional residential buildings, a relaxing Huangpu River Cruise, etc.

With three days and more, it’s highly suggested extending your Shanghai city tour with a side trip to Hangzhou, Suzhou. In Suzhou, you can use 1 day to visit a poetic and elegant Chinese classical garden, a peaceful water town with authentic settlements and lifestyle and learn Chinese silk culture. And you can also leave 2 days visiting more exquisite gardens and cultural sites in Suzhou. Similarly, you can make a day trip with beautiful Wold Heritage - West Lake and Chinese tea culture learning in Hangzhou, or take 2 and more days to discover more attractions.

If time allows or you are interested in, you can take an in-depth Jiangnan culture exploration to Nanjing, Ningbo, Shaoxing, Wuxi and other cities in Yangzte River Delta. For those who hold a regular Chinese Visa, it’s super popular and convenient to travel Shanghai with Huangshan Mountain, Beijing, Xian, Zhangjiajie, Guilin, Yunnan (Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La...), Tibet, Dunhuang, etc, to unveil various natural landscape and human wonders in China.
