Oriental Pearl TV Tower

observation deck which costs around $30 I believe. There are 3 different decks but from what I’ve read, the 360 glass one is the best one and the best view is at night

The Bund

it’s the best viewpoint of the skyline, which is said to be best at night. All of the lights across the city supposedly give it a very futuristic feel and the pictures look awesome.

Jin Mao Tower

This is the tower with that skywalk where you get to walk outside on the ledge harnessed to the building. One of the coolest things I have ever done The skywalk price is $60, it opens at 9am and lasts 30min. You have to be at the observation deck 45min in advance for a security check for the skywalk The observation deck is $18 (have to by the deck ticket also along with the skywalk ticket to do the skywalk). It opens at 8:30am. We have to buy tickets at the tower Only 15 people are allowed every 30min so if we don’t go early the lines will be SO LONG, especially on the weekends.

Tianzifang

This market has good prices on handicrafts, jewelry, and other souvenirs. Tianzifang is a really cool area to wander around, but the narrow maze-like streets are really easy to get lost in.

Yu Garden

I’ve heard mixed reviews a lot say they loved it and a lot hated it. Moral of the story is, its pretty, but very crowded. It is one of the most sought after tourist areas though so we should probably check it out if we have time

Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street

is buzzing with activity all hours of the day. No cars are allowed on this street and everywhere you turn there’s some sort of shopping. It’s also unlikely that you’ll miss this area because the nearest subway station to the Bund is this one so you’ll be walking through it I guarantee. Most of the big brands are represented on this street. On top of that there are some hidden gems food-wise here. It’s definitely very touristy here but if you want to come see the mecca of Chinese consumerism with more bright lights than Times Square

Walt Disney （Shanghai） Co.,Ltd.

This disneyland is top notch. The techonolgy is unlike any other disney you have seeen before and you can't go to Shanghai without visiting the newest Disney park in the world. I stayed at the disneyland resort when I was there and it was well worth it.
