The hit role-play pop-up lands at Raffles City The Bund! Meet the plush foodie crew: from the iconic “plush roujiamo”—soft bun hugging a squishy “meat”— to cuddly BBQ, chubby dumplings, even “stinky tofu”! See it, squeeze it, hug it — take home a bundle of fuzzy joy! ☺️📷 ☺️

Power, passion, and a perfect finish! Debuting as a new city-level brand event, the Shanghai Indoor Rowing Open lit up Hongkou with speed and energy. Blending tech-driven thrills and mass participation, it boosted the event’s influence and fueled Shanghai’s fitness wave.

The city rises—and so does its greenery! 🌱🌱🌱🍃🍃🍃 In Hongkou, 25,000㎡ of rooftop gardens, vertical walls & trellises turn steel into a “four-season evergreen” skyline. Here, buildings don’t just stand tall—they “breathe”, cooling the city & bringing true ecological benefits.

A journey through time begins here! China’s first railway, the Songhu, still charms today. At the former Jiangwan Station, Metro Line 3 rushes by as vintage engines and green carriages stand still—past and present meet at the 1876 Old Station Creative Park.
