- Shanghai Tower - Upon arrival at the airport (PVG or SHA) or the Shanghai/Wusongkou cruise terminal, your professional guide will warmly welcome you with a personalized name sign. You will then be transported in a private vehicle to the city center, a journey of approximately 40 to 60 minutes.

Typically, the tour begins at the Lujiazui financial center, where you can admire iconic city landmarks such as the Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai Tower, and the World Financial Center. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the skyscrapers and learn about China’s opening policy in the 1990s from your guide.
- Yu Garden (Yuyuan) - Explore Yuyuan Garden, a beautifully preserved garden with a history spanning 400 years. Discover the elegant Chinese pavilions and authentic ancient architecture. (Note: Yuyuan Garden closes at 4:15 pm and every Monday. In such cases, you will visit Yuyuan Bazaar instead, a market featuring Ming and Qing dynasty architecture with various souvenir shops and restaurants).
- Former French Concession - Visit the French Concession, the historic center of colonial life. Admire the impressive French-style architecture, learn about Shanghai’s history during the 1840s, and enjoy a leisurely stroll along the tree-lined walkways.
- The Bund (Wai Tan) - Continue to the renowned Bund, where you can marvel at the magnificent views of both old and new Shanghai. Capture stunning photos of the city skyline from the Bund.
- Jade Buddha Temple - If time permits, visit the Jade Buddha Temple. Wander through the beautiful old temple with its multiple chambers and impressive Buddha statues. Observe local worshipers and gain insights into the fascinating religious culture from your guide (Note: Jade Buddha Temple closes at 4:30 pm).
Depending on your interests, you may choose other attractions beyond the sample itinerary, such as Tianzifang (charming alleyways with small shops), Shanghai Museum (featuring ancient bronzes, furniture, and paintings), Shanghai Tower (the second tallest building in the world), or the Maglev train (the fastest train in the world, which can take you back to the airport).
Your private layover tour concludes with transportation back to the airport (PVG or SHA), cruise terminal, or drop-off at your Shanghai city hotel.
