The center for most peoples visit to Shanghai.  In this district you can visit the Bund, which you must see during the day and fight the crowds to see it at night because the lit up skyline is truly electrifying.

#JESSATRAVETIP get an early start to see locals practicing tai chi amongst the backdrop of the Bund skyline.

Shanghai Museum is also located here which is home to a lot of Chinese history and the best part is that its FREE! 

Go to People’s Square if you’re here on the weekend to see parents arrange marriages for their children and stroll East Nanjing Road, where you can shop till you drop if the neon lights don’t make you drop first.
This part of town contains Yuyuan Garden and Bazaar.  Find tranquility inside the garden and the mayhem of the bazaar outside. Roam around the surrounding neighborhood as you’ll get a feel of old Shanghai and forget you’re inside the most populated city of China. Also check out the mid-lake pavilion tea house (warning will be crowded).

FRENCH CONCESSION:
Take in old French Architecture amidst the modern city. Wonder Fuxing Park where you can see locals practicing Tai Chi and playing MohnJong. Stroll the Tianzifang area to try out some Chinese delicacies like scorpion or starfish on a stick!
This district contains M50 with its edgy art scene which is always fun to wonder and explore. The Jing’an Temple is right by the subway station, a modern temple tucked away between large skyscrapers and expensive shopping. Jade Buddha Temple is a few subway stops from Jing’an and is one of Shanghai’s only active Buddhist monasteries. If you’re here on the weekend check out the Muslim Market which is only held on Friday’s between 10-3. Check out my Guide to Shanghais Muslim Market to get directions and a food guide.

PUDONG:
The actual skyline, but up close and personal. Get fancy and pick an observation deck to get amazing views of the city. Some of the favorites are the Shanghai Tower, Oriental Pearl TV Tower, and the Grand Hyatt.Hands down go to Qibao, it’ll be hard to believe that you’re still in the city! This ancient settlement prospered during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It’s small, the alley ways are crowded, just hop on line 9 and bring your appetite.

SHOPPING:
If you like to shop you can find it here, and yes its probably made in China. Don’t forget to wear your bargaining pants, you’re gonna need them.

NIGHTLIFE:
I didn’t personally go out to the clubs as I’m a grandma but Barbarossa, Long Bar, and MINT are the lively spots.  I mean MINT has a shark tank! #JESSATRAVELTIP get fancy, you will NOT be allowed in if you don’t pass the dress code. I.e. no sneakers, jerseys, or flip flops. And theres always karaoke bars!
