Day or night, the Nan Pu Bridge and Inner Ring Road are two architectural masterpieces that I encourage everyone (even locals!) to check out. Once the sun sets, the bridge shines with a bright blue hue against the Huangpu River and the spherical lights around Inner Ring Road twinkle — a truly mesmerizing sight to see.

This image of Inner Ring Road, Nan Pu Da Qiao (Nan Pu Bridge) and Huangpu River was taken in the green space that's northwest of Inner Ring Road.
The easiest way to get to this location is to take public transportation and then walk. After you emerge from "Exit 3" of the station, reference the GPS coordinates in 2D mode to see where I stood to launch my drone and then fly up and toward the bridge to capture a similar perspective of the circular road, bridge and body of water.
By public transportation:
- Closest station: Nanpu Bridge (via Line 4)
- Take "Exit 3"
