    I'm already here. So far, no major disappointments, but I did something pretty epic: clocked 35,000 steps right after landing, hitting a ton of popular spots. The local Shanghainese food is delicious!

        Promise me, you absolutely have to visit the iconic Bund, and definitely experience the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel, okay?

                As a Shanghai local, I'm seriously reading through the comments section.

                  Will it be crowded from June 4th to 7th?

                    Avoid Nanjing East Road, Disneyland, Joy City, The Bund, and Lujiazui. Anywhere else should be fine.

                      Definitely don't go to People's Square or The Bund – they're insanely crowded. If you want to experience having no phone signal, then sure, head over.

                          Shanghai has so many great spots perfect for a 'city walk' – just strolling, shopping, eating, drinking, and snapping photos. It gets super crowded during the May Day holiday, so I made all my reservations in advance – things like a facial or enjoying the hotel buffet. The elevated highways are super congested tonight. So, May Day is incredibly busy; it's best to plan ahead.

                                Could you explain why? I was actually planning to go tomorrow.

                                  The Bund.

                                    Then maybe check out the North Bund? I hear it's less crowded over there.

                                      If you're heading to Nanjing East Road, brace yourself. It's incredibly crowded; you can barely move. They often implement crowd control, sometimes even blocking off roads completely. And when it's packed, they might close the Nanjing East Road subway station, forcing you to use People's Square station instead. Anyway, I got stuck on the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street for over an hour today just trying to get out. It feels like being in a human traffic jam – you can't go anywhere, just shuffle along with the flow of people. I waited through three red light cycles just to cross one intersection, and all the while, a kid on his dad's back kept kicking me, and I had no space to move away.

                                        So crowded, and you had to deal with a bratty kid too! Hugs, sis! Thanks for the heads-up!
