SHANGHAI HIGHLIGHTS
Bring you the real Shanghai, offering an authentic look into daily life, iconic sights, and all the facets that make the city truly unique.
Shanghai Highlighted Tour
Embark on a journey through Shanghai’s past and present, where each stop tells a unique story. We begin at the iconic Bund, where the skyline’s striking blend of historic and modern architecture leaves a lasting impression. From there, we step into People’s Square, a fascinating crossroads where the old and new Shanghai meet, surrounded by traditional lane houses that echo the city’s rich history.
Next, we take a peaceful stroll along Suzhou Creek, offering a glimpse into the slower, chill side of Shanghai’s vibrant life. Then, we enter the tranquil world of Yu Garden, a masterpiece of Chinese architecture that transports you to a time of emperors and scholars.
As we wander through the Former French Concession, you’ll feel the echoes of a bygone era, where French colonial charm mixes with Shanghai’s eclectic, multicultural spirit. In Xintiandi, the beautifully preserved Shikumen houses whisper tales of Shanghai’s early 20th-century residents, both local and foreign.
Finally, we pause for reflection at some of Shanghai’s most revered temples: Jing’an, Longhua, and the Jade Buddha, each offering a serene and spiritual contrast to the city’s fast-paced energy.
This is not just a tour – it’s an immersion into the heart and soul of Shanghai.
