This video follows Travelshorts family's whirlwind tour of Shanghai, China. Their journey begins on a sleeper train from Xi'an, arriving in Shanghai and immediately heading to the luxurious Waldorf Astoria hotel on the Bund. The stunning Pudong skyline provides a breathtaking backdrop to their stay.
Their first stop is the Yu Gardens, a traditionally beautiful location that unfortunately proves to be extremely crowded on a Sunday. Despite the crowds, they manage to navigate the gardens and find a charming local restaurant for lunch, highlighting the delicious and affordable food as a hidden gem of Shanghai.
After a brief rest at the hotel, they ascend the Shanghai Tower, one of the world's tallest buildings, for panoramic views of the city. As night falls, they explore the Pudong area, marveling at the illuminated Oriental Pearl Tower.
Next, they take the Shanghai Sightseeing Tunnel under the Huangpu River, emerging at the Bund to capture stunning photos of the illuminated skyline. The day concludes with some retail therapy on Nanjing Road, followed by a relaxing walk along the Bund back to their hotel.
