The Wanderlust Kids have been roaming Shanghai, and let's just say they've discovered a city that keeps them guessing at every turn. From ancient water towns to futuristic robot butlers, this family's journey through China's most dazzling metropolis is a whirlwind of contrasts and sensory delights.<br><br> They started their day early at an ancient water town just outside the city, a place often called the Venice of the East. The Wanderlust Kids hopped on a hand-rowed boat (£20 for four people for 15 minutes) and drifted along peaceful canals lined with traditional Chinese architecture. They quickly noticed they were the only Western tourists around, and soon became the main attraction themselves—with locals eagerly taking photos of them. The market stalls offered everything from chicken feet to Honey Winnie the Pooh lollipops, and the aroma of cooking filled the air.<br><br> Back in the city, they marveled at Shanghai's futuristic side. Their hotel delivered water via a charming little robot that the kids adored. They wandered into Nanjing Pedestrian Street, a neon-lit thoroughfare that felt like Times Square and Leicester Square rolled into one. There, they couldn't resist ice cream shaped like a dog and a hazelnut chocolate delight they'd seen all over Instagram.<br><br> But the culinary highlight came at dinner: Peking Duck. At a restaurant called Warehouse 3, they watched the chef carve the duck tableside after setting it on fire. The verdict? Out of this world—tender, juicy, and absolutely unforgettable. They also dove into a mysterious lunch at a local spot where they pointed at dishes and hoped for the best. While the food was hit or miss, they loved seeing the open kitchens and the confidence in cleanliness.<br><br> The family also tackled the city's transportation quirks. Google Maps was useless, so they relied on Amaps. Electric bikes silently appeared on pavements, keeping them alert. But the highlight was the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel—a driverless cart that took them under the river in a kaleidoscope of lava lamps, jellyfish, and planets. Then they headed to the Bund at sunset to watch the skyline light up, though the clouds obscured the tops of buildings.<br><br> Before leaving, The Wanderlust Kids visited a Manner Coffee shop with a stunning view, where they tried a banana latte (surprisingly delicious) and a tiramisu latte. They also scored some limited-edition Disney merch, including a Donald Duck outfit and a free Shanghai tote bag. By the end, Shanghai had earned a spot in Ed's top three cities (alongside Bangkok and New York). Their final takeaway? The city is endlessly surprising, endlessly friendly, and they will definitely be back.
Discover Shanghai's surprising contrasts: ancient water towns, futuristic robot room service, sizzling Peking Duck carved tableside, and a dazzling Bund skyline—all while navigating chaotic markets and electric bike dodging. The Wanderlust Kids found their new favorite city in this sensory overload paradise.

It's like the Venice of the East with peaceful canals and hand-rowed boats. We were the only Westerners there and people wanted to take photos with us!
What was the best thing you ate?
The Peking Duck at Warehouse 3 was insane—they set it on fire and carved it at our table. It was so tender and juicy.
How did you get around the city?
We walked a lot and used the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel to cross under the river. Google Maps was useless here so we used Amaps instead.
What surprised you most about Shanghai?
How futuristic it is! A robot brought water to our hotel room, and everything from cars to bikes is electric.
