Shanghai Trip Book · Day 4 of 4
Day 4 — Your Shanghai Day
Street culture, one old food street, restored shikumen and an evening in a canal town — a flexible final day that moves from central Shanghai to its western edge.
· People’s Park Marriage Market 人民公园相亲角
This is social life, not a performance. Never photograph profiles or people at close range without permission.

Day 4 backup plans
If it rains
Keep the central Shanghai stops and skip Zhujiajiao when heavy rain makes the long transfer and outdoor lanes unrewarding.
Eat nearby
Choose one established restaurant for lunch on Huanghe Road, then have dinner in Zhujiajiao near the canals.
Getting around
People’s Park and Huanghe Road are walkable together. After Zhangyuan, allow roughly 1.5 hours by metro to Zhujiajiao and check the final return service before leaving downtown.
