Shanghai 3-Day 2-Night Shopping x Fashion Light Travel

When it comes to Shanghai, most people still think of its dazzling Oriental Pearl Tower and the bustling Bund, but now, with the added boost from the World Expo, this already world-class glamorous city has become an even more globally spotlighted destination.

The distance between Shanghai and Taipei has never been far, but in the past, if you wanted to go to Shanghai, your only options were to fly from Taoyuan’s Chiang Kai-shek Airport with a transfer in Hong Kong to Pudong Airport, which took quite a long time. However, if you consider time an important cost, you can now also choose to fly directly from Songshan Airport to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. Although the tickets are more expensive than flying from Chiang Kai-shek Airport to Pudong Airport, many people still opt for this choice due to the shorter travel time—just under two hours to reach Shanghai directly, creating a new cross-strait one-day living circle.

Putting the World Expo aside, Shanghai itself is a fascinating city. From the classic Chinese-style architecture on the streets to the modern high-rises built by multinational corporations in recent years, the urban space presents a strong contrast that has gradually evolved into a fusion style blending Eastern and Western elements—a major draw for architecture and history enthusiasts. Of course, the contrast isn’t just visual; the local cuisine and shopping scene reflect the same blend.

Within about three days, a beautifully tailored garment can be created for you. If you’re in a hurry, you can pay extra for expedited service. Since making clothes takes time, it’s only natural that this spot is arranged as the first stop on your Shanghai shopping journey.

• Recommended Attraction 02: Tianzifang

• These days, you can’t really say you’ve been to Shanghai if you haven’t been to Tianzifang. This art street, originally created in old alleyways, has become Shanghai’s most famous cultural and shopping district, thanks to the increasing number of artists moving in. The area is now packed with unique shops that blend art and commerce, offering a wide array of creative and quirky goods that are a feast for the eyes. The district has expanded from just a few simple lanes to surrounding neighborhoods, making it impossible to explore it all in just a couple of hours.
