1
Lujiazui is Shanghai’s skyline main stage—Oriental Pearl facing the “big three” (Shanghai Tower, SWFC, Jin Mao). Glassy rivers, elevated circular walkways, and waterfront promenades create the city’s most futuristic frame. Come by day for crisp details, stay for blue hour and night lights. With IFC Mall and the riverside path, you get finance icons x trendy retail x river views in one stop.

2
Tucked inside classic shikumen lane-houses, the Site of the First National Congress of the CPC offers a clear window into Shanghai’s modern story. In 1921, a discreet meeting held in an ordinary living room set the stage for events of lasting impact. Inside, restored interiors, original-style displays, photos, and documents bring the neighborhood’s architecture and the city’s transformation to life.

3Former French Concession
The Former French Concession is not a single street but a walkable tapestry: plane-tree boulevards, shikumen lanes, villas beside Art-Deco apartments—a blend of history and easy modern living. Expect indie cafés, tasteful boutiques, and pocket gardens around the corner, and a relaxed “Haipai” elegance in the bricks and balconies. Plane trees, cafe aromas, and lane-house breezes along century-old facades—this is the romance of the Former French Concession.
