When I talk about my Shanghai Travel Itinerary, I must say Shanghai is beautiful and more dazzling at night than during the day. I heard some people mention Shanghai as a ‘’Wonder City’’, though I didn’t know the reason for calling it so. After getting a night tour of Lujiazui in Shanghai, I understood why Shanghai is called the "Wonder City".
Shanghai represents the beauty of old and modern mingled together. I explore that Shanghai is more gorgeous, dashing, and attractive at night than in the daytime. The brightness of neon lights of different colors turns Shanghai City sparking and radiant. At night the most beautiful place in Shanghai is Lujiazui. While you walk on the pedestrian bridge of Lijiazui you will think of the tall buildings like the Oriental Pearl Tower, and Shanghai Tower getting up from the ground. Modern high-rise skyscrapers are lit up in all the colors of the rainbow and old Baroque-styled buildings are in a classic sophisticated color of gold. The colorful bright light reflects into the Huangpu River and makes a confusing and dizzy scene , which makes people feel a sense of charm in this bright and colorful city.
