Shanghai's air quality has improved significantly with stricter industrial regulations and vehicle emission standards. The coastal location helps with air circulation, but winter heating season and regional industrial activity can still produce moderate to poor air quality days. The Bund and Huangpu River paths offer waterfront running.
Shanghai typically sees AQI values between 40 and 100, better than Beijing but still variable. Winter months tend to be worse due to regional heating, while summer sea breezes help disperse pollutants.
Morning runs along the Huangpu River or in Century Park offer the best conditions. Autumn provides the most consistently good air quality. Always check the AQI before heading out, especially in winter.
