📝​Today's itinerary: Glass Museum - Tianzifang - Sinan Road - Sinan Mansion - Sinan Bookstore - First Memorial Hall - Xintiandi ​ ​I have been to the Glass Museum in Zibo, which is large in scale but not sophisticated enough. The one in Shanghai is really highbrow, delicate, magnificent, exquisite and full of spirituality. The Shanghai Colored Glass Museum is a private museum designed and founded by Taiwanese artists Yang Huishan and her husband Zhang Yi, two legendary figures. Yang Huishan is a Golden Horse Award winner and Zhang Yi is a director. Colored glass is the crystallization and sublimation of their love. The third floor of the exhibition hall is mainly Yang Huishan's works, with the theme of "No form and no form": full of the brilliance of Buddha nature and the thinking of life philosophy The root of Buddha's existence is human troubles, the uneasiness about the impermanence of life The Diamond Sutra says: "All conditioned things are like dreams and bubbles" The vain and fleeting moments of life are like small bubbles in the universe Yang Huishan imagines the compassion of Buddha, and visualizes the wisdom of liberation from hardship and anxiety Let her heart be peaceful and quiet In the seemingly transparent and non-transparent four-sided space Suddenly realize the freedom of "neither existence nor emptiness"

#100 Ways to Travel Shanghai is very suitable for self-guided tours. I bought a plane ticket on trip.com and followed the flowers to "Sinan Road" 🌺 📍 Sinan Bookstore Poetry Store⛪️ In the play, the Orthodox Catholic Church that Abao always liked to go to when he was a child (No. 16 Gaolan Road) has now been converted into the Sinan Bookstore Poetry Store. The design inside is breathtaking, but unfortunately it was booked by the French that day, so we can only visit it another day. 📍Sinan Bookstore📕 It is a three-story classical house with a garden terrace on each floor. The furnishings inside are in the style of old Shanghai. There are many rare books collected here, as well as Chinese and foreign literature. You can feel the strong feelings of old Shanghai in the bookstore. 📍"Antique Garden" Cafe☕️ In the drama "Flowers", Section Chief Jin gave her most important stamp album in her life to Miss Wang to start a business. The photo was taken in the corner of the second floor of this cafe. A garden cafe full of historical charm. 📍Sinan Mansion🌺 This is the place on Sinan Road where you can best feel the historical heritage. There is a whole row of red buildings, and each building has its own historical story.

It is quite an accidental discovery of this coffee shop around Sinan mansions that we got attracted by the flowers and little bonsai plants🌾, where we get to see miniature version of all huge trees and plants. Going inside the place, we found they have a coffee shop there; and without any second thought we grabbed one that come with this cute little cup 🍵 a perfectly whipped cream of milk latte. It is quite funny about these newly emerging cafes, that it is perplexing whether we are paying for the coffee or for the ambience😅. It was quite a soothing time in there. Also a good way to stroll around the city to find your best. #coffeeshop #urbanexplorer #summerdays#urbanexplorer#tripfoodie

In the last few nights in Shanghai, I chose the old house in the garden near the Sinan Mansion the old house in the alley. It has a taste, and the small space is built into a duplex Shanghai style.

It is very pleasant Location: Close to Sun Yat-sens former residence of Yuan Shikai, and you can walk to Xintiandi and Huaihai Middle Road. Hh/ Recommendation: Shanghai's rare detached loft old house, LOFT duplex structure, own small landscape garden

#shanghaionbudget I spent a peaceful morning at Sinan Mansions, a quiet area full of old French-style villas from the 1920s. Walking under big trees and past beautiful buildings made me feel like I was in a movie. Some houses have QR codes you can scan to learn more. I loved how it mixes the past with modern life. It's one of my favorite spots in busy Shanghai. Tips: visit early in the morning for less crowd. Accessible by subway, but need to walk a bit. It's free entry and open 24/7 ✨️

A few days ago I visited a flower exhibition in Pudong, and with the recent nice weather, I quickly went to check out Sinan Mansions as well.

Speaking of Shanghai, apart from the Bund night view and Wutong Street, what I love most is actually the traditional taste of the place. This time I came to Shanghai, I tasted several unforgettable classic Shanghai dishes. Every bite was like traveling back to the old Shanghai. 🥣 Peach Gum Soup｜Smooth and Soft, Sweet and Not Greasy This dessert is really a favorite of girls~ The peach gum is cooked just right, and slow-cooked with white fungus, red dates, and lotus seeds into a soup that melts in the mouth, nourishing the skin and relieving greasiness. 🦆 Eight Treasure Duck｜The ultimate representative of Kung Fu cuisine Eight ingredients including glutinous rice, ham, chestnuts, lotus seeds, and mushrooms are stuffed into the whole duck, which is then simmered over low heat for several hours. The duck meat is soft and tasty, and the glutinous rice has absorbed the soup, giving you a flavor of the New Year in every bite. 🐷 Pickled Pork Duxian｜The most representative taste of Shanghai spring "Pickled" means pickled bacon, "stewed" means slow-cooked, and "fresh" means fresh bamboo shoots, bean curd sheets, and pork bones. This soup is refreshing and rich in flavor, especially suitable for drinking in spring, warming the stomach and stimulating the appetite. 📍 Recommended restaurants Yuyan Mansion (Pudong Shangyuewan Branch) 🍴 Type: Shanghainese restaurant 📍 Address: Shangyuewan Plaza, Pudong New District, Shanghai (about 480 meters walk from Exit 1 of Pudong South Road Subway Station) 🕚 Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 11:00–14:00 / 17:00–22:00 💰 Average cost per person: about ¥100-300.

Eight Treasure Duck usually needs to be booked in advance, so remember to call and inquire! The best way to eat pickled pork with rice is to eat it with rice. A pot of soup with white rice is the perfect happiness! Eating Shanghainese cuisine is not just about filling your stomach, it’s more like chewing on an old Shanghai story. Every dish hides the memories of Shanghai people, eat slowly and savor it slowly💭✨ #Shanghai Food #Shanghai Cuisine Recommendation #Local Cuisine #Yuyan Mansion #Peach Gum Soup #Eight Treasure Duck #Yan Du Xian #Foodie Travel Notes #Traditional Shanghai Flavor #Mainland Travel

What places can you visit in Shanghai in two days?|||Today's Topic—Citywalk is an "Extreme" Sport I'm from Zhengzhou. What can I do, eat, and buy during a two-day trip to Shanghai? I'll mainly be sightseeing on Saturday, and I have to return on Sunday afternoon. Transportation: The sleeper train arrives early in the morning, around 6 a.m., and I can take the subway directly to where I want to go. The subway is very convenient, but sometimes it's a long walk from the entrance/exit to the platform. It really is Shanghai! If you're too tired to walk, you can take a taxi and enjoy the city scenery along the way. What to do: Saturday: Since I arrived early, my first stop was the Bund. I took the subway and walked along East Nanjing Road. Many elderly people were exercising in the morning on the Bund. The second stop was the Waibaidu Bridge, where Yi Ping jumped off the bridge in the TV series "Romance in the Rain". The third stop was the Zhapu Road Bridge. The fourth stop was the Shanghai Postal Museum (exterior). The fifth stop was the Shanghai Museum (People's Square) to see the Egyptian cultural relics exhibition. The sixth stop was the Xujiahui Cathedral in Xuhui District. It's open from Tuesday to Saturday, but it closes early sometimes, so you need to check in advance if you want to go. We didn't go inside because there was an event on the 8th. The seventh stop was the Site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which we took a taxi to. The taxi ride took a long time, and we arrived at around 4 p.m., just in time for the visit. The eighth stop was back to the hotel to freshen up, and then we took a taxi to the Oriental Pearl Tower. It was already evening, so we took some photos and went to the Disney Store to buy some souvenirs. The ninth stop was East Nanjing Road for some shopping. We went to the largest MINISO and saw the spiral staircase at the New World Daimaru Department Store. Finally, we went back to the hotel to rest. It was a proper 20,000-step extreme citywalk day. Sunday: I rode a bicycle to the North Bund Tourist Resort to see the Oriental Pearl Tower from another angle. The scenery was very beautiful, and it was refreshing in the morning. The second stop was back to the hotel, and then we took a taxi to Sinan Mansions, a small area of European-style houses. We also visited the Zhou Enlai's Former Residence, which was a different kind of experience. What to eat: For breakfast at Shanghai Railway Station, I had Xiaoyang Shengjian. It tasted better than the shengjian in Zhengzhou. For lunch, we went to Xian De Lai near the Shanghai Museum at People's Square. We had to queue even though it was past 1 p.m. We ordered spare ribs rice cakes, scallion oil noodles, etc. The taste was a bit sweet, but it was a new experience, so we had to try it. For dinner, we were too tired, so we ordered takeout at the hotel. I don't remember which restaurant it was, but the noodles with toppings were delicious. On Sunday, before returning, we had to eat Dahuchun shengjian. I had it once last year and loved it. The dough was sweet, and the fried buns were filled with lots of ingredients. Souvenirs: I bought some cultural and creative products from the Egyptian exhibition at the Shanghai Museum, small toys from the Disney Store, pastries from Shen Dacheng, shengjian mantou from Dahuchun, scallion pancakes, youdunzi, and butterfly cookies from the International Hotel. After this trip, I didn't expect a weekend could be so fulfilling. Looking forward to the next journey!

Sinan Mansions, also known as Sinan Road Historic District, is a complex of predominantly garden villas located in Huangpu District, Shanghai. Sinan Mansions boasts 51 preserved historical buildings, bordered by Fuxing Middle Road to the south, Sinan Road on both sides, and Chongqing South Road to the west. It showcases a variety of architectural styles, including detached garden villas, semi-detached garden villas, detached garden villas with courtyards, terraced buildings, veranda-style buildings, new-style lilongs (lane houses), garden lilongs, and modern apartments. It represents a concentrated collection of Shanghai's modern residential architecture. Notable figures such as Zhou Enlai, Zeng Pu, Mei Lanfang, and Liu Yazi once resided here. Famous buildings include Mei Lanfang's former residence at No. 87 Sinan Road and Zhou Enlai's former residence (Zhou Gongguan) at No. 73. On November 5, 2021, the Xintiandi-Sinan Mansions area in Huangpu District was designated as one of the first national-level nighttime cultural and tourism consumption clusters by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. This area is not only a popular spot for photos but also one of the filming locations for the movie Tiny Times 3. Sinan Books, located in the heart of the area, is a must-visit for literary and artistic youth. Young people come here to take photos, relax, and enjoy the cultural atmosphere. I especially admire the retired seniors with artistic talents, who capture the charm of the old villas with their paintings (Photo 1, Photo 20). 📍Address: No. 523 Fuxing Middle Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai. 🚉Transportation: Take Subway Line 10 to Site of the First National Congress of the CPC·Xintiandi Station (Exit 5) and walk 756m; or take Line 1 to South Shaanxi Road Station (Exit 4) and cycle 1.3 km (approx. 6 mins). 🕙Opening Hours: Open all day, free to visit. 👍Recommended: Sinan Books.

I have been to some places, and in my mind Shanghai is one of the most suitable cities for city walks. The weather in spring or autumn is suitable for walking, and even winter has its own unique flavor. On Shanghai City Walk, a mobile phone and a power bank are all you need. Convenience stores and snack bars can be found everywhere, and large shopping malls can also be found in the city center, so you don’t have to spend time and effort preparing food and drinks. Recommend a city walk route (suitable for friends with good legs): Postal Museum--Waibaidu Bridge--The Bund--Nanjing East Road--Renguang--Huanghe Road (breakfast: Xiaoyang Shengjian or Jiajia Tangbao)--Wujiang Road (Zhangyuan)--Nanjing West Road--Jing'an Temple (lunch: Huxi Old Lane Noodle House, Lailai Xiaolongbao, Renheguan)--Cai Yuanpei's Former Residence--Mahler Villa--Huaihai Middle Road (Guangming Village Fresh Meat Mooncakes)--Xintiandi (coffee, afternoon tea)--Sinan Mansion--Tianzifang (dinner can be had at nearby Sun Moon Plaza) You can also go the other way to see the Bund night view. Explore the city and taste the best food in one day

| Citywalk Landmark in Shanghai. If Shanghai is an open book, then Sinan Mansions must be the most charming chapter📖. This garden house neighborhood not only hides stories of the past, but also has a unique Shanghai style. Unlike the popular atmosphere of Wukang Road, this place is more suitable for an immersive experience of the Republic of China style. Sinan Mansions was once the home of many celebrities, such as Zhou Enlai, Feng Yuxiang, Zeng Pu, Mei Lanfang, and others👣. Walking through the streets and alleys, you can almost hear the echoes of history and feel the changes of that era. Now, most of these houses have been converted into restaurants, where you can enjoy delicious food while feeling the warmth of history up close. 📍Sinan Mansions Check-in Guide Sinan Open-air Museum: Get a map here, stroll around, scan the code to listen to celebrity anecdotes, and learn more about the stories behind each garden house. Starbucks (No. 50 Sinan Road): Come here to get the same style as Zhu Yilong and enjoy a cup of coffee in the atmosphere of old Shanghai. Kong Xiangxi's Former Residence (No. 553 Middle Fuxing Road): The Dutch double-fold roof is very distinctive and is a great background for photos. Mei Lanfang's Former Residence (No. 87 Sinan Road): The front of the house is full of flowers and trees, quiet and elegant, as if you can still see the figure of a master. Sinan Bookstore (No. 517 Middle Fuxing Road): This was once the former residence of Feng Yuxiang and Liu Yazi, with three floors, a must-visit for literary youth. Zhou Mansion (No. 73 Sinan Road): The office of the CPC delegation during the KMT-CPC negotiations in 1946, with extraordinary significance.

Sinan Literature House (No. 523 Middle Fuxing Road): There are occasional exhibitions, a great place to feel the artistic atmosphere.

Here is a guide to taking photos of plane trees and light and shadow in Shanghai: Best time to shoot • Season: Autumn from September to November is the best time, when the leaves gradually turn yellow and fall, and the "no sweeping of fallen leaves" policy makes the streets poetic. • Time: 7-9 am or 4-6 pm, when the light is soft and suitable for creating a warm atmosphere; the short blue hour after sunset, when the sky is dark blue, is suitable for shooting emotional films. Check-in location • Wukang Road: With the landmark building of Wukang Mansion, you can take a low-angle shot in front of the building, framing the building and the plane trees together, or use the light spots in the gaps between the leaves to create a dreamy effect. • Yuqing Road: The road is lined with southern European-style buildings and rows of French plane trees, with sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves, creating a mottled light and shadow effect, suitable for cycling. • Kangping Road: A century-old street that will never be widened, with tall plane trees, from Gao'an Road to Huashan Road, lined with apartments, new houses, and villas, suitable for shooting pictures of tall plane trees and buildings. • Hengshan Road: A quiet passage connecting Xujiahui and Huaihai Road, with many high-end European-style buildings and small coffee shops along the street, you can take pictures outside the coffee shops, taking pictures of people with plane trees and buildings. • Sinan Road: Old buildings such as Sinan Mansion and Sun Yat-sen's former residence add a historical charm, and you can take retro-style photos in front of the old buildings with plane trees as the background. Shooting tips • Composition method: Use the natural tunnel formed by plane trees to take pictures; use the rule of thirds to place the subject on the four intersection points of the picture; use the plane tree trunk as the foreground to add a sense of hierarchy to the picture. • Use of light and shadow: Create a dreamy effect through the light spots in the gaps between the leaves; use backlight or side backlight to outline the outline of people or buildings and create an atmosphere. • Character posture: You can take a half-body photo with one hand touching your hair or head and the other hand holding a plane tree leaf; you can also stand sideways and raise your hand to touch the sunlight; you can also sit in a pile of fallen leaves, point your chin with your hand, and look at the camera playfully.
