📸 Photo Spots
浦东美术馆 · 日落长廊
The sunset corridor at Pudong Art Museum. Golden hour light pouring through the architectural frame — arrive 30 min before sunset for the best glow.
北外滩世界会客厅
The World Reception Hall on the North Bund. Modern architecture meets the classic Pudong skyline across the river.
浦东美术馆 · 日落长廊 (续)
More angles from the sunset corridor — the interplay of glass, light and the Huangpu River creates ever-changing compositions.
外滩金牛广场
The Golden Bull Square on the Bund. After rain, the reflections on the wet ground create a mirror effect that doubles the drama.
北外滩国客中心码头
The International Cruise Terminal pier on the North Bund. Boat lights and river reflections create a serene nighttime atmosphere.
外白渡桥
Waibaidu Bridge — Shanghai's most iconic steel truss bridge, connecting the Bund to Hongkou. Stunning when lit up at night.
塘桥渡口
Tangqiao Ferry crossing. A quieter vantage point away from the crowds — the Lujiazui skyline reflected in the calm river is pure magic.
