Three ways to plan a date night in Shanghai
Start with the calendar
We have not verified date spots in Shanghai yet. Until we do, the best move is the Dayfari event calendar: pick any evening event, show up a little early, and let the night build from there.
The order matters more than the venues. Eat first when you are hungry, walk when the light is good, and let the event set the schedule if there is one.
Before your night out in Shanghai
Pair two or three of these and you have a full day sorted in Shanghai.
Common questions
What is a good first date in Shanghai?
Keep it simple: one planned thing and one walk. An evening event from the calendar above plus a stroll afterwards is hard to beat.
How current is this Shanghai listing?
Dayfari refreshes town data every day. Event dates and times come from local sources and venue feeds, but always double check with the organizer before you travel.
Do I need to book ahead in Shanghai?
For popular restaurants on Friday and Saturday, yes. For viewpoints and walks, never. When in doubt, call the restaurant the day before.
