Shanghai Xiaolongbao Road — From Yuyuan to Xintiandi
If you visit Shanghai, Xiaolongbao and Shengjianbao are a must. The lines at Nanxiang Mantoudian in Yuyuan are long, so weekday mornings are the most pleasant. It is convenient to walk around if you plan your route connecting Yuyuan Station and Xintiandi Station on Subway Line 10. Since most places prioritize WeChat Pay, it is reassuring to carry a small amount of cash.
