### Shanghai Songcheng: A Tranquil Oasis
Located by the Huangpu River near the Expo Park, Shanghai Songcheng is a haven away from the crowds. The best time to visit is when the lights first flicker on and the night begins to fall, casting a beautiful glow over the high-rise buildings across the river.
### Observation Deck and Rainbow Slide
