Shanghai (China) is a vibrant, modern city. If you have ample time to explore, it's a fantastic experience, but what if you only have one day to discover the charm of this beautiful city? Let's take a look at some tips from Mytour.vn on how to make the most of your 24 hours in Shanghai.
If you only had 24 hours in Shanghai, what would you experience?
Morning in Shanghai (9:00 AM – 11:00 AM)
Start your leisurely morning in Shanghai by enjoying a savory egg pancake (jian bing), a popular breakfast choice among the locals. Jian bing is essentially a delicious crepe filled with various ingredients, with the most common fillings being cilantro, green onions, and it is usually served with a variety of sauces.
This tasty treat is also widely available at street food stalls throughout Shanghai, so it won't be difficult to find one to enjoy.
After satisfying your hunger with a delicious pancake, take a stroll along the Bund – Shanghai's famous waterfront promenade. This area is renowned for its diverse architectural styles, with buildings designed in Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, and Renaissance architecture. A morning walk here is the best time to explore, as it can get very crowded later in the day with tourists.
Afternoon in Shanghai (12:00 PM – 4:00 PM)
In the afternoon, take the time to visit the Yuyuan Garden and Bazaar.
The Yuyuan Garden, also known as the Yu Garden, is an ancient Chinese garden built in the 1500s by a wealthy Ming dynasty official's family. Today, it boasts stunning imperial-style architecture and a peaceful atmosphere with countless ponds, walkways, and stone paths. You'll likely spend hours immersing yourself in the timeless beauty of this historic garden.
Next, head over to the nearby Yuyuan Bazaar – a lively tourist area filled with shops, restaurants, and tea houses. You can wander around, explore the shops, and enjoy unique local delicacies. Don’t miss out on trying the famous xiao long bao (soup dumplings) – they’re truly impressive.

Evening in Shanghai (5:00 PM – 7:00 PM)
If you're visiting Shanghai during warmer weather, head to the rooftop bar at Sir Elly’s on the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel. Sip on fantastic cocktails while enjoying the breathtaking view of the Bund's skyline at night.
For beer lovers, a visit to the Boxing Cat Brewery is also an enjoyable experience.
Enjoying Dinner in Shanghai (8:00 PM – 10:00 PM)
There are many options for dinner in Shanghai. You can visit Din Tai Fung – a famous xiao long bao chain known for its quality, which will surely not disappoint. Additionally, Fu 1088 is another fantastic dinner option if you only have one night in Shanghai. Fu 1088 serves traditional Shanghai dishes in the elegant colonial-style villa from the 1930s, beautifully decorated with antique furniture.
