Shanghai for First-Timers: Landmarks & Disney in
A short first-visit route covering the Bund, Lujiazui's night views, Yu Garden and the plane-tree-lined former French Concession, plus a full day at Disney.
On Day 1, walk along Nanjing Road to the Bund, then cross the river to climb high for night views of Lujiazui. Day 2 is reserved entirely for Disney. On Day 3, visit Yu Garden in the morning, then Xintiandi and Wukang Road in the afternoon, and head to Hongqiao in the evening to depart. Stay around East Nanjing Road and the Bund for easy transfers. Museums and nearby water towns were dropped to make room for Disney, so the pace is fairly tight. It suits first-time visitors who also want to spend time at the theme park.
Disney queues are very long on holidays. Visit on a weekday and buy tickets in advance.
