Our favorite part about Shanghai is the way it blends modern innovation with timeless charm. From strolling through tree-lined, historic streets to discovering hidden specialty shops, every corner offers something unique. Check the bottom for a photo gallery of our recent trip to Shanghai!
A few of our favorite restaurants...
1. Shanghai Tang - Classier vibes and fancier spins on Shanghainese classics.
2. Fu 1039 - Michelin-starred Shanghainese restaurant hidden in an old villa that serves cozy food.
3. Hefeng Mizzle - Upscale local dishes with just the right amount of flair.
4. FeiDaChu - The best cozy home-style cooking from Hunan.
5. Long Time Ago Mutton Shashlik - Described by Kevin as an absolute revelation in culinary technology -- best skewers ever.
6. Kentucky Fried Chicken - You may think we're crazy, but the egg tarts are heaven (we went ten times in 2 weeks).
7. Pho Thin - Northern-style Vietnamese Pho -- one of our favorites out of the many Vietnamese restaurants in Shanghai.
Some sights to explore...
1. The Bund - You haven’t really been to Shanghai if you haven’t seen the Bund. Super touristy, but worth a quick stroll for the views -- snap a pic, then keep it moving.
2. Xintiandi / Huaihai Road - Trendy and stylish. Cute cafes, historic alleyways, and high-end shopping all in one spot. Perfect for a chill afternoon.
3. MaoMing Road - A fun mix of old-school bars and cool new spots. Great for casual drinks and late-night hangs.
4. Wukang Building / Former French Concession - The surrounding area is the most Instagrammable or RedNoteable corner of the city. Cute architecture, leafy streets -- ideal for some wandering.
