As the Headquarter of a true Shanghai culinary legend, Da Hu Chun has been making shengjianbao for over 90 years. It’s not just any old shop. For years in a row, it has been recommended by the prestigious Michelin Guide, earning the “Bib Gourmand” title for offering exceptional quality at a very friendly price. This makes it an authentic piece of Shanghai's food culture, enjoyed by both locals and famous visitors (like Apple's Tim Cook), right in the heart of the old city.

5. Holy Trinity Church, Shanghai

Completed in 1869,the Holy Trinity Church is the oldest and most famous Anglican church in Shanghai. For over a century, it was the spiritual and social heart of the British community in the International Settlement. Its distinct look, with the sharp spire and colourful stained glass, made it a major landmark. Unlike many buildings on the Bund, it wasn't a bank or trading house—it was a place of peace and community amidst the busy commercial district. After being restored, it stands today as a quiet reminder of old Shanghai's diverse religious life.
