Hey my fellow, lovely readers (should we have a fandom name? Hehe). I will be traveling to Shanghai in April to May in 2026 and these are the spots I will aim to hit in my trip. This is sort of also a mini-itinerary for you so please let me know if you try these places!

1. Legoland Shanghai - I will be headed here one of the days where the weather is not rainy. It's a gigantic park with a resort and 70+ attractions. It's better for 3-12 year olds but I went to JB's Legoland when I was in university and I had a heck of a time so why not visit the newly opened Legoland in Shanghai?

2. Gongyan Cuisine - This is a lunch/dinner theatre where you can dress up as an ancient man or lady in Chinese clothings and enjoy a 10-course meal, complete with dances, opera and a basically an all round sensorial treat.

3. 100-type live tank Seafood - This is a dapaidong (hawker) with 100 live tanks of seafood like snow crab, mantis shrimp, mud crab, oysters, clams and you can get them steams, stirfried in garlic and vermicelli and more! Really looking forward to this one.

4. Qushui Lanting - the 24h spa with jacuzzi pools, sauna, steam rooms, movie theatres, free icecream, caviar, snow crab buffet and more! Definitely one for the books.

5. Museums - There is the Shanghai National Museum, Yuz Museum, Museum of Art Pudong, Xi'An Art Museum, Fotografiska Shanghai. Which I visited on my last trip in September 2025. I shall be headed back this time as well.
