Gateway to Greatness!
Beyond this seemingly simple entrance is a world of wonder!
Located in an industrial part of Shanghai, China, 得丘礼享谷文创园 or Deqiu Art District is a must visit. My experience was a complete bomb of cultural, modern, futuristic, and innovative architecture and interactive art. Riddles with interesting and interactive art and an endless array of crevices to explore, this place completely exceeded my trip expectations! It’s no ‘Oriental Pearl Tower’ but it’s definitely a place you’d love especially if you’re interested in art and hole-in-the-wall places. It’s a little far from Suzhou where I reside but I believe it was worth the trip!
We also tried a cafe inside which was eccentric! As an architect, the use of materials and interior design was a sight to behold and the tiramisu type dessert and hot chocolate my boyfriend and I tried was delicious!
I highly recommend this place! I didn’t want to be a ‘repeat place’ person during this journey of me reigniting my travel and experience passion but I will definitely go back and explore all the nooks and crannies I didn’t get to! 😆My boyfriend and I plan to gatekeep this place from friends till then but if you see this post you’re in luck!

Shanghai Disneyland: The Largest in Asia!
If you're looking for an amusement park that offers fun, great atmosphere, excellent weather, delicious food, and a currency similar to Thailand, and is not far from Thailand, then Shanghai Disneyland is the place for you. It's perfect for those who have never been to an amusement park like us. Around the park, there are many shops including Disney merchandise, Pop Mart, Pandora, and Hey Tea, catering to all ages. I think I need to visit other Disneylands around the world if I have the chance and the money. LOL
Sunday Morning Run through The Bund
#2024mapped
Running through The Bund on a crisp Sunday morning was a moment of pure serenity. As the sun began to rise, the skyline of Shanghai's iconic buildings began to gleam. The air was fresh and cool, and I could hear the gentle rhythm of my footsteps as I ran along the riverbank, with the famous Oriental Pearl Tower in the distance. It was a peaceful and grounding way to start my day amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.

Reaching New Heights in Shanghai
Visiting Shanghai is like stepping into the future while still touching the past. The city, with its vibrant energy and awe-inspiring skyline, is a symbol of China’s rapid transformation. Amid the hustle and bustle, the Shanghai Tower stands as a true testament to this evolution.
I recently had the opportunity to visit this magnificent structure, and what an experience it was! Standing at 632 meters, the Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China and the second tallest in the world. The sprawling metropolis seemed to stretch endlessly, with the Huangpu River winding like a ribbon through the heart of the city. The contrast between the modern skyscrapers and the historic Bund along the waterfront was striking.
At the top, the world seemed at my feet, and for a moment, I felt like I was witnessing the pulse of a city that never stops. The panoramic views left me in awe of human ingenuity. Shanghai, with its blend of innovation and tradition, is truly a place where dreams are built and reach the skies. It’s a city that leaves a lasting impression, one that makes you feel both humbled and inspired.
If you ever get the chance to visit Shanghai, don’t miss the Shanghai Tower—it’s not just a view; it’s an experience that will stay with you long after you’ve left. #shanghai

🌆✨Experience the Magnificent Shanghai Bund🛥️

Don't miss taking a ferry to the other side for a unique perspective of this iconic waterfront area. Perfect for a romantic evening or leisurely stroll, the Shanghai Bund is a true gem of the city!

In Zootopia anyone could be anything!
If you’re heading to Shanghai Disneyland, here’s the game plan for a magical start to your day!
Early Park Entry Pass is absolutely worth it. You’ll get into the park 1–1.5 hours before the general crowd, and trust me—it’s a game-changer. I managed to conquer three major rides before 9:30 AM. Skip the Premier Access—it’s not necessary at all if you play your cards right.
Now, about getting there: many hotels offer free shuttles to Disney, but here’s the catch—they usually don’t run before 7:30 AM. So if you’re team Early Entry, plan ahead!
Hungry? Forget overpriced meals in the park. Disneytown is where it’s at! Tons of restaurants are just a short walk from the gates, and the prices won’t make you cry into your Mickey-shaped snacks.
Photos with characters? Be prepared to wait. The lines are long, and Disney cast members don’t rush anyone—which is great for the perfect photo, but not so great if you’re next in line.
Finally, do not miss the pawpsicles at Zootopia. So cute. So refreshing. So necessary.
Enjoy every magical moment!

Shanghai & Tongli Wow!
#chinatrip during cold December was awesome. Explored #shanghai and #Tongliwatertown. Yuyuan Gardens never fail to amaze with the Chinese goods. Starbucks Roastery though a bit expensive but worth a visit for their specially crafted coffee drinks. Head to Tongli Water Town through Suzhou by bullet train to visit the Venice of China and explore a little Chinese ancient town. Go on a weekday to avoid crowds! End off the trip by exploring more of Shanghai that must include the famous Shanghai Museum.
Shanghai Museum
#familytravel to Shanghai and visiting Shanghai Museum. We were asked to book this special exhibition to enter the museum as the free entries to the museum had already sold out. The reservation needs at least a week or two ahead to secure the free entry. If the museum is sold out, do not rush to buy like us. It was utterly crowded and noisy. You could not view a single exhibit in peace. The paid special exhibition were three galleries on ground floor. The price we paid for was a bit hefty. The Chinese galleries were awesome. Go for this if you can get the free entries. #shanghai

Shanghai | Nice brunch place with friends in Pudong district
The whole restaurant had such a nice vibe—very cozy yet reminiscent of British style. The location is perfect near LuJiaZui.
🍳 Brunch Options:
Smoked Salmon Omelette: The mushrooms inside were incredibly fragrant, the salmon had a slightly salty flavor, and the omelette itself was perfectly crispy. It’s light enough for a morning meal.
🍕 Black Truffle Pizza: The truffle aroma was absolutely divine! The pizza wasn’t super thin-crust, and the mushrooms were a great touch.
🥗 Fig & Prosciutto Salad: With buffalo mozzarella, it had a rich, creamy taste that wasn’t overwhelming. The sweetness of the figs paired perfectly with the salty prosciutto, achieving a great balance.
🍝 Bolognese Pasta: The addition of cherry tomatoes brought a slight hint of sweetness—highly recommended.
☕ Coffee lovers, you’ll find good options here too!

Shanghai Toy Story Hotel!
Today we are staying at the Toy Story Hotel in Shanghai. I must say, it is magnificent. The decorations are filled with themes from the Toy Story movie, and you can take pictures at every corner of the hotel. Additionally, the hotel has a shop that sells Toy Story souvenirs. Another advantage of staying here is that you get to enter Disneyland an hour earlier than everyone else. It's definitely worth it. If you are a fan, you must not miss this.
🍜 Shanghai crab noodles, alley behind Jinjiang Inn Hotel
✨ Shanghai is famous for its crab fat noodles. If you come here, you have to try it once. We didn't try the famous popular restaurants, so we don't know if it's more delicious. 🦀 The crab fat noodles here are salty, creamy, and fragrant with crab. Personally, I think this restaurant is delicious, but if you eat a lot, it's a bit greasy. I recommend adding chili oil or ordering just one bowl and ordering other menus because there are a lot of them. 5555555
🍽️ The restaurant has many menus, but I didn't try them. You can use the pictures to translate the menu. Ordering is not difficult. You can order directly from the owner without having to order through the app. 👍🏻 Paying via Alipay is very convenient.
💰 Price: Crab fat noodles, 88 yuan per bowl.
📍 Location: Shop name: Old Shanghai Snack 卢师傅老上海小吃, located in the alley behind Jinjiang Inn Select Shanghai Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. There are quite a few restaurants in this alley (Get off at People Square Station, Exit 6, 7).
⭕️ We tried to find the shop's location on Baidu Maps but couldn't find it. You can pin it to Lailai Snack Dumpling, which is nearby. We'll type the shop's name in the comments. You can copy and paste it into Baidu Maps.

Take stylish photos in the morning at The Bund Shanghai
The morning atmosphere at The Bund Shanghai offers a unique beauty. I recommend taking photos both in the morning and at night, as both times provide stunning results. You can also see the Oriental Pearl Tower.
In the morning, there aren't many people around. Don't forget to take a picture with the bull statue, an important landmark.
I visited in early December 2024. It was very cold, around 11 degrees Celsius. Make sure to bring warm clothing.
It was my first time in Shanghai, and I fell in love with the city. The people are friendly, and I love the convenience of transportation and spending. It's really great. 🤎🫶🏻
Following in the footsteps of celebrities, dine on crab roe noodles at a luxury restaurant in Shanghai.
One dish that you must not miss when you come to Shanghai is crab roe noodles. No matter where you go in Shanghai, you will find many restaurants offering this dish. We did some research from locals and found the restaurant Cejerdary. As soon as we arrived at the restaurant, we knew it was extraordinary. The place is luxurious and grand, with pictures of celebrities all over the walls. Since there were only two of us, we decided to order just three dishes because we heard that the portions here are large. While waiting for the food, we were served aromatic roasted peanuts that smelled like butter. Here are our reviews of the dishes we ordered:
🌟Crab Roe Noodles: The noodles were perfectly tender, and there was a generous amount of crab meat, crab roe, and crab eggs. Unlike some places that use chicken eggs, this dish was packed with crab goodness, which explains the high price. The flavor was mild, not very strong, which might not suit Thai people who prefer bold flavors.
🌟Crab Roe Fried Rice: Served in a large bowl, this dish also had a lot of crab meat and crab roe. The taste was well-balanced and very delicious.
🌟Marinated Crab in Moutai: The flavor was mildly sweet and salty with a hint of sour sauce to balance it out. The aroma of Moutai liquor was noticeable. This dish is a bit pricey, but worth trying at least once.😂

Peace of Mind at Longhua Temple
I went to Longhua Temple with my family. It’s a temple that locals visit to pay their respects. After walking around the temple, near the exit, there’s a cafeteria selling vegetarian noodles and snacks. In the cafeteria area, no one comes to collect money, it’s all self-service. Each table has a QR code for payment, so after you’re done eating, you just pay on your own. It gives off this vibe of mutual trust, which I really liked. The atmosphere felt friendly and welcoming.
Aside from the cafeteria where you can sit and eat, they also sell packaged snacks like Chinese cakes, mochi-style treats, and crispy pastries—perfect as gifts. They’re around 20 yuan per box. There’s also a teahouse that sells tea sets (I can’t remember the exact price, but it was on the higher side) and has a time limit for how long you can sit. The teahouse interior is beautifully decorated in traditional Chinese style.
As for Longhua Temple itself, I enjoyed the overall atmosphere and experience more than the architecture. I’ve been to quite a few Chinese temples, so the architecture didn’t feel particularly special to me.
If you’re a cat lover, the garden at the very back of the temple is basically a cat haven. Visitors seem to love taking pictures of the cats. The cats here are such great models—they pose and don’t even run away from people~
