Suzhou River
Suzhou Creek is one of Shanghai’s most underrated gems — a place where the city’s past, present, and future flow side by side. Once an industrial artery filled with warehouses and cargo ships, it has been transformed into a scenic urban corridor rich in history, architecture, and local life.
Shanghai’s first all-steel bridge and a beloved symbol of the city. As you cross over Suzhou Creek, take in views of the skyline and imagine the countless people who’ve passed this way for over a century.
Shanghai Post Museum
This stunning 1920s building blends European architecture with rich postal history. Head to the rooftop for hidden views of the Suzhou Creek and discover how mail helped shape Shanghai’s global connections.
