• Former French Concession - Your friendly local guide will meet you at the cruise terminal arrival area, holding a sign with your name.

Below are the recommended places; feel free to inform your guide if any adjustments are needed during the tour.

Start with a visit to Fuxing Park, one of the most beautiful and green parks in the city. In the morning, the park offers a wonderful introduction to traditional Shanghai life as locals gather to enjoy activities such as calligraphy, singing, and even ballroom dancing. Feel free to join in a dance if you like! Then, let your guide lead you through the French Concession, once the heart of colonial life and now the trendiest neighborhood in Shanghai.

• Yuyuan Old Street - Next, head to Yu Garden and the old town Bazaar, a must-visit site in Shanghai. Enjoy exploring the area with its charming Ming and Qing Dynasties architecture, and take a walk on the nine lucky zigzag bridge in the town’s central lake. Choose to visit the elegant Chinese garden, built over five centuries ago, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the classic gardens adorned with ponds, pavilions, exquisite rockeries, trees, and flowers. You may also enjoy some fun souvenir shopping with assistance from your guide.

Then, take a break and savor a delightful lunch, including famous xiaolongbao soup dumplings, Shanghai-style noodles, or meat, fish, and vegetable dishes, all washed down with plenty of tea.

• The Bund (Wai Tan) - No visit to Shanghai would be complete without a stroll along The Bund or the Riverside Promenade (Binjiang Da Dao), which locals describe as a free museum of architecture due to the varied styles on display. As you enjoy the splendid views of the colonial-era architecture and the dramatic contemporary skyline across the River Huangpu, your guide will explain Shanghai’s international history.

• Pudong New Area - Continue the tour to Pudong Island, once a small swamp, now lined with world-class skyscrapers. Take a walk on the skywalk and marvel at the unique design of the city’s best landmarks, such as the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai Tower, Jinmao Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, and more. If the weather is clear, you might choose to go up to one of the observation decks to enjoy a fantastic bird’s-eye view of the entire city of Shanghai.

As this is a fully private tour, if you have already visited the attractions mentioned above, you may substitute them with the following places: 1) Huangpu River Cruise; 2) Temples: Jade Buddha Temple, Jing’an Temple; 3) Museums: Shanghai Museum, Urban Planning Museum, Jewish Museum, or Propaganda Art Poster Center; 4) Tianzifang or Maglev Train experience.
