Move over, skyscrapers – Shanghai’s iconic Bund is now a sugar-coated playground! 🎪 The Sugar Rush Festival turned the waterfront into a dessert lover’s paradise this month, with over 70 brands serving cakes, ice cream, and chocolates that could rival Willy Wonka’s factory. 🍫 From April 13-14 and 20-21, crowds flocked to taste everything from rainbow macarons to liquid nitrogen ice cream that’s straight out of a sci-fi flick.
This isn’t just a food trend – it’s a full-blown cultural movement. Last month’s bread festival nearby drew 800,000 visitors in two weekends, proving that Shanghai’s appetite for Insta-worthy treats is unstoppable. 📸💥 Local pastry chefs and international brands alike joined the sweet showdown, blending traditional Chinese flavors with tech-driven dessert experiments (think matcha robot-served cones!).
For young travelers and foodies, events like these are reshaping how we experience cities – one bite at a time. 🌆🍨 Who needs museums when you can taste your way through a skyline?
