Trendy Shanghai: A Must-Visit Spot for Urban Fashionistas

If you've already explored all of Shanghai's classic landmarks, then it's time to delve into the city's trendiest pulse ! I'll take you on a journey to experience a different side of Shanghai.

Morning: Art Immersion and Creative Inspiration. Starting at M50 Creative Park, a former textile factory now home to numerous galleries and artist studios, it's an excellent place to discover contemporary art. Next, head to the West Bund Art Center area for a riverside stroll, experiencing the fusion of art and nature.

Afternoon: French romance and chic atmosphere. Stroll along Wukang Road , Anfu Road, and Yuyuan Road, in the former French Concession. Here, plane trees provide shade, and countless exquisite cafes, independent designer shops, and unique bookstores are hidden among the old villas. We recommend finding an open-air cafe in Wukang Courtyard for a leisurely afternoon tea. Tips to avoid: Some trendy cafes are only good for taking photos; the taste and service may not be up to par. It's advisable to check reviews beforehand or choose established cafes that seem to be frequented by locals.

Evening: The Futuristic Feel of Lujiazui. While Lujiazui is a classic tourist attraction, it can be appreciated from unique perspectives, such as strolling along the riverside promenade or choosing a rooftop bar to experience the futuristic feel of this modern metropolis. Dining Recommendations: In the former French Concession area, try some fusion cuisine or Western-style casual dining; there are many options, but be mindful of the average cost per person. Avoid restaurants that cater only to tourists and look for establishments frequented by local white-collar workers.
