There's a lot going on at the Bund, so it's worth a walk around in the afternoon and stick around for the buildings light up at sunset.
This / The Rooftop at Waterhouse / Char Bar at the Indigo Hotel are considered great spots to view the Bund at night.
Beautiful traditional Chinese gardens - you can wander here for hours. Surrounding the gardens is a bustling shopping district with lots of street food options and cafes.
In the heart of a luxurious shopping district, the Jing'an temple is worth a few hours visit.
A really solid Uyghur restaurant just a few blocks from Jing'an Temple. No frills, but amazing food.

Seemingly a warm up for Lucca with a mix of expats and locals -- folks seem to come with friends.
Go after Happiness, and ask someone to show you how to get to the huge dance area upstairs -- it is not obvious to find!
Gallery after gallery -- you'll find a lot of styles repeated from place to place, so come with some patience and you might walk out with an affordable and stylish art piece to your liking.
Several floors, super clean, not too crowded. You can hang here with the cats while reading, playing a Nintendo Switch, or drinking coffee.
