    Day 14: Shanghai Day Tour: Shanghai Tower + Shanghai Museum + Yu Garden + Nanjing Road + The Bund

    Morning:
    After breakfast, head to the Lujiazui financial district to visit the Shanghai Tower—the tallest building in China. Take the world's fastest elevator (73.8 km/h) to the "Top of Shanghai" observatory at 546 meters (118th floor) for a 360° panoramic view of the skyline. You can even mail a postcard from the world's highest post office.
    Next, visit the Shanghai Museum (East Branch) to see precious cultural relics, including the "Da Ke Ding" (3000-year-old bronze tripod), the "Shang Yang Fang Sheng" (standard measure of the Qin Dynasty), and the "Zi Zhong Jiang Pan" (spring-autumn period bronze basin).
    Afterward, visit the 460-year-old Yu Garden to admire the exquisite Jiangnan classical garden layout and traditional architecture. You can also explore the Yu Garden Bazaar for local snacks and crafts.

    Afternoon:
    Walk along the famous "Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street" toward the Bund. Along the way, enjoy the architecture from the 1930s and visit century-old local brands. The Bund, located on the west bank of the Huangpu River, is known as the "Exhibition of International Architecture," featuring 52 buildings of various styles. Standing by the river, you can look out at the skyscrapers of Lujiazui across the water.

    Note: Yu Garden is closed on Mondays (replaced by the City God Temple). The Shanghai Museum (East Branch) is closed on Tuesdays; we will try to arrange a visit to the People's Square branch or coordinate an alternative.
