Every time a friend comes from afar I like to take them to Thames Town at least one day to soak, if not in a hurry I will also recommend friends in the town to live a day.

Almost every day there are many couples here to take wedding photos.
If you like shopping, then there are many designers opening studios or image planning small stores to choose from, clothing and accessories are more unique and creative. Clothing purchased from here is definitely not likely to clash with others.
If you're tired of shooting and strolling around, you can choose a cafe or tea room to sit in according to your preference. I especially recommend a place called "Thinker's Café and Bookstore". There you can eat, drink, listen to music and grab a book from the shelves. It's a very unique cafe, both in terms of design and interior.
If you want to buy books, then you can go to Zhongshu Ge, which is really a sea of books, and you can find all kinds of books and magazines there. The design of the bookstore is also very personalized, and it is known as "the most beautiful bookstore in Shanghai". Many tourists come here every day, not to read or buy books, but simply to take photos.
