Discover the vibrant life under the Wuning Road Bridge in Putuo, Shanghai—a key connection between Putuo District and the city center. Each evening until 10 p.m., the bridge dazzles with its illuminated, ornate columns, creating a striking landmark over the Suzhou River. But the real treasures lie beneath: a collection of small, hidden shops that offer a taste of local life.
Under the Wuning Road Bridge, you’ll find a welcoming café restaurant, a cozy tea shop, and a charming flower shop. These hidden gems are perfect for relaxing after a bike ride along the river. We often stop here to enjoy a refreshing wheat beer and unwind from the summer heat. The atmosphere is lively yet intimate, making it a favorite spot for both locals and visitors.
During the pandemic, the area under the Wuning Road Bridge became a temporary home for delivery service drivers, who found comfort and community in this unique urban space. Today, the shops and friendly vibe continue to make this one of Shanghai’s most intriguing places to explore.
