Sunrise Square, a key highlight in the Shanghai International Cruise Tourism Resort, stands as a prominent landmark in Baoshan district. Nestled at the confluence of the Yangtze and Huangpu rivers, the square offers visitors a breathtaking view where the rivers meet, accompanied by the stunning sight of the rising sun.

As dawn breaks, the river shimmers with golden hues, and the skyline transitions from deep blue to warm orange-red, creating a serene blend of natural beauty and urban architecture.

Adjacent to the Wusong Paotaiwan National Wetland Park, Sunrise Square is surrounded by lush greenery, with occasional bird sightings adding to the tranquil ambiance.

Optimal viewing time

From early May to late July, the summer sunrises are especially stunning, with vibrant cloud patterns painting the sky. For those planning a visit, check the "Shanghai Baoshan" WeChat account (ID: sh-baoshan) for a sunrise index to schedule your trip.

Nearby attractions and activities

After witnessing the magnificent sunrise, visitors can enjoy a peaceful walk along the path through the wetlands, where the interplay of plants and morning light creates a serene atmosphere.

For an elevated view, head to the 22nd floor of the CM+ Serviced Apartment, where you can enjoy breakfast while taking in the panoramic sunrise. The executive lounge and river-view balconies at the Cordis Hotel also offer excellent vantage points.

For a dining experience immersed in nature, the One Step Garden and Linjiang Cruise Restaurant provide a delightful atmosphere and unique culinary setting.

Visitor tips

During the summer months, the sunrise begins around 5 am, so it’s recommended to arrive early to secure a good viewing spot.

Since it can get chilly by the river, it’s a good idea to bring a light jacket to stay comfortable while enjoying the view.
