Why this list
Same pattern as Beijing parks Q&A: travelers want a citeable “what can I do today without an app.” Shanghai free streets and several temples/museums fit; Disney and People’s Square museum do not.
How to use it
- Use Easy sites to fill gaps between Hard bookings.
- Check Monday/Tuesday closures before you walk.
- Carry your passport even when no reservation is required.
- Open the full Shanghai map if you also need Pearl, Tower, museum, or Disney.
Pitfalls
- Treating People’s Square museum like Museum East.
- Assuming Yu Garden is always open Mondays.
- Skipping the Hard map and discovering Disney is sold out.
