Shanghai Tours

Shanghai is the “Magical Capital” in Chinese folk language. It’s the international metropolis, where fashion meets oriental charm, the place to feel hustle and bustle in daytime and boisterous life at night.

Shanghai stands for the starting point of China’s modern history. It was open in the 1840s to the world as a treaty port and British once made the Bund area a concession. In every tour, we will take you to see the colonial-era edifice complex that testify the history, with a cruise on Huangpu River to see how they contrast with surrounding modern skyscrapers including the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. Appreciate traditional Shanghainese Stone Gate Houses in century-old communities. Take time to vibe with Shanghai on the dynamic Nanjing Road or the artistic Tianzifang Old Block. And go beyond this to marvel at Chinese aesthetics in the ancient world of Yu Garden and from the regional art presented in Shanghai Museum.

2 to 5 days is generally enough to explore the highlights of downtown Shanghai, with time for side trips to ancient water towns like Tongli and Zhouzhuang, or even nearby cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou, referred to as ‘paradises’ in China slang.

You can start from the Bund, walk along the Nanjing Road, visit Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, and Yu Garden en route, and end at a wharf of the Huangpu River to take a cruise.
