Last vacation after a short visit to Hong Kong we continued our vacation to the mainland. My family and I, in total of 4 persons of us, we did come to Shanghai. If you want to make a plan of Shanghai vacation and do not have any ideas what to do or what are the best activities can be enjoyed in this metropolis then let me give you some recommendation tips based on my experience.

1. Stroll along the Bund
As the symbol of the city, the Bund is not only a place offer its long history but also a spot where you will see 'the whole Shanghai'. It is not means the whole but when people imagine Shanghai, they usually think of the Bund, right. It might be a little bit crowded at weekend by try a good chance by come visit on the weekdays. A walk along the Bund is an introduction to the essence of big, bold, fashionable, commercial Shanghai.

2. A visit to Yuyuan Garden
Might travelers will only know about shopping and entertainment area of Shanghai, but do you know about the famous Yuyuan Garden? Yuyuan Garden is a well-contained classical Chinese garden, a must-see for every tourist. It is a maze of Ming Dynasty pavilions, elaborate rockeries, arched bridges, and goldfish ponds. Yuyuan Garden can be reach by metro (line 10). The least crowded time to visit is early morning. The entry ticket costs 40 RMB. Come to the garden which located in the heart of bustling Shanghai and enjoy garden charming and pleasant views.

3. Shorty Excursion to Zhujiajiao Ancient Water Town
Mostly China travelers who traveled Shanghai may know that Zhujiajiao is one of Shanghai's most accessible water towns. Located in the suburb of Shanghai, Zhujiajiao regarded as Shanghai's Venice and standing history can be traced back from hundreds of years ago. Zhujiajiao has all a water town can offer bridges, water canals, local eateries, art shops, hand crafts and even coffee houses. The cheapest way to reach Zhujiajiao is by bus from the Southern side of People’s square at the Puan Road, which costs us 12yuan per person. Admire Chinese old water town and feel the charm of the old ways in the tiny shops, narrow sidewalks and the picturesque stone and wooden bridges. Escape hustling bustling Shanghai to the calm and peaceful Zhujiajiao, no traffic, less pollution.
