Early birds must visit one of Shanghai’s many parks, where thousands gather daily for morning exercise.

The Bund

Shanghai’s best-known attraction is impressive any time of the day. Still, it’s at its most glam in the evening when floodlighting illuminates the colonial piles and the neon across the river, where Pudong gaudily glitters. Take a stroll along the waterfront walkway and watch the world go …

Bund Tourist Tunnel

Bund Tourist Tunnel

Run down there quick, before the lights are extinguished: there’s the talk of turning the Bund Tourist Tunnel into a tediously ordinary commuter line.
