15 Things to do in Shanghai, China

I stayed in Shanghai for quite a bit to bring you places like Flair, Yu Garden, French Concession, Pudong, Xintiandi, Shanghai Nightlife and how to cheat China's internet ban. Featuring all must-see locations!
Shanghai literally means 'on top of the sea' in Chinese and with 23 million people it is currently the biggest city in China. The map below has a list of all the best places in Shanghai of which some have a dedicated article and video.
Prices in Shanghai are very affordable, a large bowl of delicious noodles with braised pork and vegetables will cost you less than $2 thus you can comfortably live on $10 budget per day.
The skyline of Shanghai was shaped in less than 26 years, and even holds landmarks like the Jin Mao tower, World Financial Center and Shanghai Tower, world's second tallest building at 632 meters.
Watch the breathtaking view of Shanghai's business district (Pudong) while standing on the Bund, especially at night when all the neon lights come on. For a great observatory view I recommend Flair restaurant on top of the Ritz-Carlton which is FREE to enter.
My favorite way to explore Shanghai was during my daily jogs. I recommend starting on Nanjing Road and make your way to People's Park, especially during the weekend since you may find yourself running into the Shanghai Wedding Market. At which Parents of unmarried adults go to the park every weekend, from noon to 5pm, to trade information on their kids.
China, being a communist country, I've never seen such a large gap between rich and poor. This was one of the last places, after North-Korea, where I would expect to see such a huge income gap.
Senior ladies were selling vegetables on the sidewalk while rich teenagers parked their Lamborghini's next door, quite the eye-opener.
I made a few Chinese friends during my stay in Shanghai, we all went for duck feet dinner on Nanjing Road and a few drinks at Sir Elly's on top of the Peninsula hotel which honestly is the most incredible rooftop bar in Shanghai. A must-see if you ever decide to visit Shanghai!
Shanghai has a strong French influence which you can explore at the French Concession area in the Xintiandi district, one of the most luxury areas of the city. Surprisingly,
I visited Shanghai during fashion week and Octoberfest, if there is on time to go it is visiting Shanghai around this time due to all the events being thrown around the city.
Now my most important tip is ExpressVPN, China has a very strict internet policy, because they cannot control information on Google, Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram, thus they decided to ban it altogether.
The ExpressVPN app has a 30-day free trial and allows you to establish a secure private connection with an offshore server so you can still access the apps and sites you want while staying in China.
This is extremely helpful if you relay on Google Maps to navigate you around, even without - don't be discouraged to visit Shanghai, it was one of the most amazing experiences I've had. Have a safe journey!

The traditional taste of Shanghai, China
Subscribe to our YouTube channel for free here:
People living in China’s eastern megacity Shanghai, Shanghainese cuisine is not merely food, but rather forms a central part of their unique identity.
Insider's Guide to SHANGHAI FOOD
Three generations of Shanghai-born locals share our knowledge of authentic Shanghainese cuisine from this amazing food city. Peter, his parents and his beloved cute granny aka Wai Po take us into their world of insanely delicious Shanghai food.
If you've never tried Shanghai food before, you're missing out. Shanghai cuisine is one of our favourite so we're sharing with you what we think are some of the best Shanghai restaurants in China on this episode.
Unfortunately you won't be able to get a seat in the first restaurant though since it's at Peter's Aunty + Grandma's house! Whenever we go back to China and Shanghai, we always get together to experience one of the most famous Shanghai dishes with Peter's family which is hairy crab (also known as Chinese mitten crab).
Hairy crab (大闸蟹 / Dàzháxiè / Du Zha Ha) is a Shanghai delicacy and the best hairy crab in Shanghai is one that's fresh, steamed to perfection and has golden roe which is naturally creamy and buttery. Female hairy crabs sometimes contain more roe than the male hairy crabs, but the roe in the male hairy crab tends to be creamier. Both are equally delicious. There's not a whole lot of meat in these premium quality crabs, and it does take a lot of time to enjoy them but their golden roe is amazing and definitely a must-try food in Shanghai.
If you're wondering 'Where to eat hair crab in Shanghai', since it is one of the most popular Shanghai food dishes, it's not too difficult to find them at Shanghai restaurants. Often the meat from the crab is incorporated into other Shanghai dishes at the top restaurants in Shanghai (like the ones we visit in this episode!)
Next up we head over to Yu Yuan aka Yu Garden for something quite amazing. The Queen of England as well as the Clintons and other notable celebrities have dined at this very famous Shanghai restaurant. Peter has been coming here since he was a little kid to get another traditional dish that Shanghai is famous for... xiao long bao (soup dumplings) which also include a hairy crab twist. We've eaten a lot of xiaolong bao before, but this place has the absolute best xiao long bao we've ever had hands down. Because hairy crab is so good in Shanghai, when you're in Shanghai you have to try xiaolong bao that has this delicious crab meat infused in them. We also tried a bunch of Chinese desserts including ones that Queen Elizabeth ate on her visit to this Shanghai restaurant too. Lu Bo Lang is situated right in the middle of Yu Yuan Garden. Be aware though, it can be quite a wait to get a seat but it's so worth it.
Lu Bo Lang
Address: 115 Yu Yuan Road, Shanghai 200010, China
Xiao long bao is a steamed dumpling with soup inside (hence they're commonly known as soup dumplings) and Shanghai makes them like no other place can. Thankfully many Chinese restaurants around the world make this famous xiaolong bao soup dumpling dish too. Even in New Zealand you can get xiaolong bao which are pretty good too! We made a Shanghai food episode for Auckland, NZ in case you get some cravings for these yummy soup dumplings:
Next we try one of the most famous old school Shanghainese restaurants which Peter's Dad went to since he was young. This place is rich in history and was first opened in 1875 called:
Shanghai Classical Hotel. It's called hotel but it is a famous Shanghai cuisine restaurant in Yu Garden, Shanghai. It serves traditional Shanghai dishes as well as other Chinese cuisines too.
Shanghai Classical Hotel (上海老饭店 / Shanghai Lao Fan Dian)
Address: China, Shanghai, Huangpu, 福佑路242号 邮政编码: 200010
For the final meal in this episode, we go to what became one of our favourite restaurants to visit during our Shanghai, China trip. The food here is simply unbelievable. If you're planning to visit Shanghai, this is a must-try restaurant. Famous Shanghainese dishes like Sheng Jian Bao (生煎包 / pan-friend pork buns), Shanghai Scallion Noodles and of course hairy crab are taken to a whole new level here. This restaurant takes traditional Shanghai food and adds a modern twist.
Shanghai Home Restaurant (上海人家精作坊 / Shanghai Ren Jia Jing Zuo Fang)
Address: 1600 Nanjing W Rd, Jing'an Temple, Jing'an, Shanghai, China

My ride with Max of Shanghai Insiders Tour.
Jing An Shangri-La West Shanghai
The charm of Shanghai is accentuated in the city’s upscale Jing An district, where glamorous malls and skyscrapers stand alongside quaint shops and lane houses.
Jing An Shangri-La, West Shanghai is central to the 450,000 square-metre Jing An Kerry Centre, which integrates prime hotel, retail, office and residential space overlooking a beautifully landscaped piazza.
Shangri-La provides a respite from the city. After an easy check-in, you consider your options for dinner - Cafe Liang for all-day dining or an international buffet, TSURU Japanese Restaurant for traditional Japanese Kaiseki cuisine, Summer Palace for authentic Cantonese cuisine, 1515 WEST Chophouse & Bar for one of the best steaks in Shanghai, or modern Mediterranean dining at Calypso Restaurant & Bar.
After a delicious meal, you head to the Horizon Club Lounge on the 55th floor to wind down. You enjoy a spectacular view of Shanghai through floor-to-ceiling windows. Later, you prepare for bed in your comfortable room while the city glitters outside.

Bike Tour Shanghai (Culture Shock) | Shanghai Vlog
Filming and biking is not a good idea...
Follow me on Instagram: SHANGHAI VLOGGER
So I went on this biking tour arranged by a company called Culture Shock. It was actually really cool! They showed me stuff in Shanghai that I never had seen before (even though I have lived here for 7 months)
Follow me on Instagram: SHANGHAI VLOGGER
Here is some facts about the tour and company:
Founded in 2015 by young entrepreneurs who wanted an alternative to standard/touristy bike tours, together with Shanghainese local experts they looked into a new option for both short-term visitors and expats living in Shanghai.
Culture Shock experiences are multi-theme & off the beaten path tours allowing guests to enjoy China History/Culture/Food and much more, with an experienced foreign tour leader speaking Mandarin, in just a Half day!
We believe that the discovery of a city and its culture cannot be limited to a few buildings and historic dates.
It requires meeting with its people and letting interactions happen naturally for a full immersion.

Here's your essential Shanghai travel guide, our hosts Miss China Jin Ye and Miss Mongolia Britta Battogtokh tour you around the best places to eat, drink, shop, and play in Shanghai.
The Maglev train currently connects the airport to Shanghai's subway system but if you're not staying in Pudong, it is faster and wiser to take a taxi. You can hail a taxi anywhere in the city to get to People's Square, but remember that taxi rate increases by around 35% during night time. Public buses charge ¥2, but for the truly adventurous only. The subway is definitely the most efficient way to go around the city - from Pudong to Minghang Disrict and all they way to Kunshan in Jiangsu Province.
The Bund is Shanghai's famous waterfront area which runs on the western side of the Huangpu River, facing Pudong. The main attractions tourists can find here are the Light of Huangpu River, Sail, and Wind sculptures, the Chenyi Square and The Sightseeing Tunnel.
Shanghai is a flourishing city where you can find all the good food from all over the world. With nearly 60 thousand restaurants in the city, the food choices here are endless!
While in Shanghai, make sure to check out these places and attractions:
* Jing'an Sculpture Park
* Oriental Pearl Tower
* NAPA Winer Bar & Kitchen (Full segment here:
* Rongxin Guan (More Dianping featured videos here:
* Nanjing Pedestrian Road
* Papaya Bar
