May's moderate temperatures make Shanghai perfect for urban exploration. Begin in the historic Bund, where Art Deco buildings contrast dramatically with Pudong's futuristic skyline across the Huangpu River. Wander through the Yu Garden's classical Chinese architecture, especially beautiful as late spring flowers bloom. The nearby Yuyuan Bazaar comes alive with traditional street food and artisan crafts, offering a taste of old Shanghai. Experience the city's artistic renaissance in the M50 Creative Park, housed in converted factories, then ascend the Shanghai Tower for sunset views. As evening falls, explore the tree-lined avenues of the Hengfu Historical Area where old colonial villas house trendy cafés and boutiques, or take a nighttime cruise along the Huangpu River to see the city transformed by millions of twinkling lights.

Traveler's Tip: Take an evening cruise on the Huangpu River to witness both the historic Bund and modern Pudong illuminated in a spectacular light show.
