Is 3 days in Shanghai enough?

Three days in Shanghai? Is it enough? Honestly, I think three days is a sweet spot for a first trip. You know, it’s enough time to get a real feel for the city without feeling totally rushed off your feet. I remember when I went – it was just for three days, actually – and I managed to see so much!

Think about it: you’ve got time for those must-see spots, like the Bund. Seriously, strolling along there at night, with all those incredible buildings lit up…magic. It kinda reminded me of a futuristic New York, you know? And the Yuyuan Garden? So peaceful, such a contrast to the buzzing city just outside its walls. It was like stepping back in time.

Then there’s the modern side. You can’t go to Shanghai without zooming up the Shanghai Tower, right? The view from up there? Mind-blowing. I actually got a little dizzy, it was so high! Plus, you can squeeze in some amazing food experiences – those soup dumplings…oh my gosh, don’t even get me started! I tried some from a street vendor, and they were honestly the best I’ve ever had.

Of course, you could always stay longer. But sometimes, you just want a quick getaway, a taste of something new. And three days? Well, it’s better than nothing, right? It’s a perfect little snapshot of Shanghai, a little teaser that might even make you want to come back for more someday. Which, let’s be honest, is probably what will happen!
