Six friends.
Six ways to see the city.
Not a list. Not a filter. A way to feel Shanghai — through six lenses built around how people actually want to spend a day.
Why does finding a good spot
feel this hard?
You're not bad at planning. The tools just weren't built for this.
The city is incredible. Finding it in English isn't.
Most travel tools weren't built for Shanghai. The ones that were aren't in English. You end up navigating one of the world's most exciting cities with tools that make it harder than it needs to be.
Your saves are everywhere but useful
You've done the research. It's just scattered across six apps in three languages — Instagram, Xiaohongshu, TikTok, WeChat — and none of it is where you need it when you're actually out.
You can't plan a real day from a list
A spot in Jing'an and three more in the French Concession isn't a day — it's a commute. There's no tool that helps you string places together by neighborhood, vibe, and how your day actually flows.
Everything we built, and why
Every decision came from watching foreigners navigate Shanghai with tools that weren't made for them.
Sourced from everywhere locals actually talk
We pull from Xiaohongshu, TikTok, expat forums, and word-of-mouth — then vet everything ourselves. Viral finds and hidden gems, in one place, in English.
Know the cost before you walk in
Filter by budget before you go. No surprises, no walking out because you didn't realise it was that kind of place.
Plan by neighbourhood, not by tab
See everything worth doing in one district, sorted so you're not doubling back across the city. One afternoon, one area, one plan.
Build your day in seconds
Bookmark spots as you browse. Your saved list becomes your itinerary — no screenshots, no notes app, no 'wait, where did I see that.'
Shanghai by neighbourhood.
Each district has its own energy. You don't need to know the city — just pick the vibe and go.
