On midsummer night, I look forward to the Bund of Shanghai, where Chinese and Western cultures, trends and urban prosperity blend; a free summer, Go travel now! Take you on a trip and take you to experience the prosperous night of Shanghai, the magic capital.

--Shanghai Beach has undergone tremendous changes, and the Huangpu River has inherited each other for a century

On the Bund in Shanghai, witness the "Magic Capital" of Shanghai! The Bund is undoubtedly the first point for everyone to check in when they come to Shanghai for the first time. Here, you can feel the world's fourth-ranked world financial center, its story, history, vicissitudes and great changes!

If you want to understand a city, you must not miss the place where its name came from. When you stand on the bank of Shanghai's landmark river, the mother river, the Huangpu River, and look at the surging water, you can think of in addition to the classic "Shanghai Beach". You still don't know that Shanghai's nicknames have been closely related to the Huangpu River for more than 2200 years, from "Shen" to "Hudu" to today's ". The lower reaches of the Huangpu River were once considered to be the fief of Lord Chunshen during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, so it was named Shencheng; later, it was named "Hu and Du" because of the geographical culture and cultural customs of the river. It is most appropriate to describe it as "river of history". Therefore, the deep "U"-shaped view of the Huangpu River on the Bund witnesses the rise of the city and also treasures the memories of the city.

The weather changes in the Huangpu River, and the beach has been hit by a century of vicissitudes. From the dawn of dawn, to the sunset of the West Mountains, to the sunset of night and the beginning of the lanterns, there is always a magic force that attracts you to stop and stare. The skyscrapers towering into the clouds are always so eye-catching, outlining the dazzling and magical night view of Lujiazui, which has swept the tens of millions of people surging here. This is the "Magic City"!

But like in the world, you will always inadvertently forget history. Across the river, half is a century-old history and half is a Chinese miracle. Standing on the "historical sites" of the past and looking at the "miracles" of the present, you will definitely have some reverie. Whether you are patrolling the 1.5-kilometer Huangpu Beach outside the Chinese historical and cultural district and strolling along the river, starting from Yan 'an East Road in the south and reaching Baidu Bridge outside the Suzhou River in the north, or taking the Huangpu Ferry, double-decker tourist bus, and standing tall at the Oriental Pearl Tower. On the viewing platform, you can clearly feel the vibrant atmosphere of this city with every gesture and wherever you look.

But you know that in 1844, the Bund was divided into the British Concession. Since then, the "Ten Miles of Foreign Market" on Shanghai Beach has become the historical mark of the beginning of Shanghai's modern city.

Even if we come, what should we always remember from the Shanghai landmarks? Shanghai has always been the location of "China's tallest building". When the bell rings, turn around and look back. You find the four-sided clock installed in the second half of the 19th century.

That was the 82-meter-high China Customs Building built in 1927, and then the 84-meter-high Shanghai International Hotel built in 1934... It is also the 632-meter-high Shanghai Tower completed in 2019. Over the past few decades, it has mushroomed like bamboo shoots, constantly refreshing the height of China's skyline. Just like "Shanghai Height" and NBA superstar Yao Ming, he is always breath-taking and his memory is especially new. The 52 classical rejuvenation buildings on the Bund, with different styles and known as the World Architecture Expo Group, met the landmark buildings of Lujiazui in Pudong, the Oriental Pearl, Jinmao Building, Shanghai Center Building, and Shanghai World Financial Center, important historical sites in modern China and China's economy. The miracle of development is in sharp contrast.

--Shili Nanjing Road, Shanghai's First Street

The water of the Huangpu River, the buildings of Lujiazui, the buildings of the old Bund, and the long street of Nanjing Road. Walking hundreds of meters from the Bund of the "Far East Wall Street", you can reach Nanjing Road, the earliest commercial street established after Shanghai was opened. Nanjing Road, with a total length of 5.5 kilometers starting from the Bund in the east and ending on Yan 'an West Road in the west, is Shanghai's top commercial district. There are rows of commercial buildings on both sides and are extremely prosperous; there are various architectural forms, including bell towers, equestrian towers, archways, etc.; historical characteristics are everywhere here, and even manhole covers are engraved with different patterns-Representative buildings and embossed of various periods since the opening of Shanghai.

It is known as the First Commercial Street in China and known as "Ten Miles Nanjing Road, a Pedestrian Street". There are various time-honored Shanghai shops and shopping malls along the roadside. For 365 days, it was crowded with people almost every day, creating a lively and prosperous scene. Over the past century, this place has witnessed the stories of countless world celebrities, dignitaries and Shanghai Beach. The ballroom of the Parkmen Hotel began in 1932; Chiang Kai-shek and his wife Song Meiling married at the Yangtze River Hotel; the Da Guang Theater, which created countless firsts in Asian and Chinese film circles; the 780-year-old Shanghai ancient temple Jing 'an Temple; the "First Floor of the Far East" Peace Hotel, Jiangnan classical garden Yu Garden, etc.

In addition, when you come to Shanghai, you must always bring some specialties with gifts, such as Taikang's retail biscuits, elegant Cantonese cuisine and Cantonese dim sum, Yanyun Lou's piped duck, Zhenlaofang's smoked fish and fresh meat mooncakes, Shen Dacheng's cakes, South goods from Sanyang and Shao Wansheng... These time-honored brands that old Shanghainese love are worth tasting carefully.

Huangpu River, Bund, Nanjing Road... Such a composition is not uncommon in coastal cities in East China. Hangzhou Qiantang River-Qinghefang, Ningbo Yongjiang-Lao Bund, Wenzhou Oujiang-Wuma Street, etc. This is why Shanghai's economy is developing so well? Commercial port shipping injected strong impetus into the early development of coastal cities. Finally, ports were opened into streets and streets were gathered into towns, gradually evolving into today's international metropolis. Come to the Bund to witness Shanghai's past and present life.

--Visiting Magic City for the first time, staying at Puxi Heyi Zhizun, and perceiving the "Ten Miles Nanjing Road"

Nanjing Road, a hundred meters away from the Bund, has a history of 153 years. It has gone through the ages from war to peace. Now that you come to Shanghai, if there are no exceptions, you will always come to the riverside to feel its atmosphere!

Nanjing Road has a history of 153 years. Its predecessor was "Pike Lane" and was officially named Nanjing Road in 1865;

In 1908, trams were opened on Nanjing Road, and the road surface was paved with iron quinoa wood;

The first development tide:

In the following 20 years, the original small commercial stalls turned into large department stores, and buildings such as Peace Hotel, four major companies, and international hotels were successively built;

The second development climax:

In the 1990s, new types of comprehensive commercial buildings were built on Nanjing Road; Nanjing Road is the pedestrian street with the most historical, urban culture and contemporary characteristics in Shanghai; it starts from Middle Xizang Road in the west and ends of Middle Henan Road in the east. There is a dark red marble screen at the east and west ends of the pedestrian street.

Relief; at the same time, old buildings with great historical characteristics are also preserved. The place where I stayed-Heyi Supreme Hotel-Shanghai Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street Store, was renovated on the basis of an old house built in 1937.

The U-shaped floor pane design changed my impression of the modern hotel architectural pattern; the purple color system, on Nanjing Road, is particularly eye-catching and mysterious. There is a reception area on the first floor of the hotel. The golden character "Yi" highlights the essence of the brand-dignity; in ancient times, the royal color was this golden color, supplemented by calligraphy logo fonts, giving rise to the feeling of a "national brand" hotel.

The hotel lobby is like many restaurants, but its high space and bright lines make people feel atmospheric;

Among the Homeinn brands, Heyi Zhizun is positioned as mid-to-high-end business travelers; on Nanjing Road, where luxury hotels are lined up, its hardware is also good-Kohler sanitary ware in the United States and LeoXAO toiletries in the United Kingdom. Although the room is simple, the details also reveal Heyi Zhizun's understanding of art-the gril-pattern lampshade is full of ancient Chinese gardens and window grilles; the marbled bedside table is even more special. Of course, in the elegant and retro design style, an orange-red chair and pillow reflect Heyi Supreme's pursuit of experience. This year is a special year. Homeinn has selected more than 3000 hotels and launched the "Safe Hotel" service. The professional hotel space disinfection service is careful and in place, and also provides guests with some free epidemic prevention supplies to ensure that every guest is comfortable, safe and safe.
