Why Visit the Sunset Corridor & Pudong Art Museum?
Along the Pudong riverside sits one of Shanghai’s most stunning cultural landmarks — the Pudong Art Museum (浦东美术馆). Right outside the museum is the Sunset Corridor (日落廊桥), a riverside walkway and viewing deck that’s quickly become a local favorite for watching sunsets over the Huangpu River with the Bund skyline in the background.
We loved it here because it’s both cultural and scenic — art exhibitions inside, and one of the best free photo spots outside.
