The considered guideShanghai

From the Bund’s old rooms to the skyline

Long Bar’s historic counter, a reserved seat at Punch Room and an open-air finish above Suzhou Creek. Three ways to see a Shanghai evening.

Move north from the Bund’s heritage architecture towards Suzhou Creek. Long Bar sets the scene at street level, Punch Room brings a more enclosed high-rise pause, and La Terrazza opens the evening back to the sky. Allow time between venues and follow each hotel’s own entrance directions.

Reserve Punch Room before building the rest of the plan. La Terrazza depends on current weather and access conditions, so confirm it before leaving the second stop. Food and drinks are charged. The line on the map suggests an order, not a guaranteed walking route, booking or available table.

01.

Long Bar

Begin in the heritage building at Bund No. 2. Give the architecture some attention before moving north.

Punch Room

Keep this as the booked anchor. Select Punch Room, not another EDITION bar, and arrive for the time you have reserved.

La Terrazza

Finish above Suzhou Creek only if the terrace is operating and the weather suits. Confirm access with the hotel first.
