Best Things to Do in Shanghai, solo trip

Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park is 77% Solo-Friendly

The park offers plentiful exhibits and thrill rides, so a solo guest can roam at a self-set pace, yet peak-time lines and a strong family focus may reduce quiet exploration.

Recommended visit duration: 0.5-1 day

Shanghai Zoo is 76% Solo-Friendly

Solo visitors get cheap entry, metro access, flexible pacing for wildlife photography and 3–5-hour strolls; limited shade in summer means carry water.

Recommended visit duration: 3-5 hours

Shanghai Natural Wild Insect Kingdom is 75% Solo-Friendly

A solo traveler can spend 2-3 hours photographing butterflies and rare insects, join English demos, and move at their own pace, but the small halls and weekend crowds may limit deeper immersion.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

LEGOLAND® Shanghai Resort is 58% Solo-Friendly

The 4D cinema, Ninjago shooter and photo-rich Miniland can entertain one adult for hours, but heavy family crowds and child-centered themes lessen excitement and make the visit only moderately suitable.

Recommended visit duration: 1-2 days

Bund Sightseeing Tunnel is 58% Solo-Friendly

The short 5-minute light ride is novel, easy to reach, and works as quick link across river, but high ticket and gimmicky show limit value for many solo travelers.

Recommended visit duration: 30 minutes

Shanghai LEGOLAND Discovery Center is 8% Solo-Friendly

Adults are refused entry unless they accompany a child, so a solo traveler cannot buy a ticket or see any attraction and should skip this venue completely.
