Start around Yu Garden
豫园
Use the official attraction channel to check current admission and opening arrangements. The surrounding old-city streets are busy, so keep valuables close and separate garden entry from the open commercial area.
Continue toward the Bund
外滩
Walk or take a short metro ride north toward the waterfront. The Bund promenade is public; allow extra time for security or crowd controls during holidays.
Cross to People's Square
人民广场
Return inland by metro or on foot. If you plan to enter Shanghai Museum, carry valid identification and check the museum's current entry notice before setting out.
