- Jin Mao Tower - The tour guide will meet the group at the hotel at 9:00 a.m. The first stop is the Lujiazui Financial Trade Zone to visit Jin Mao Tower. As the fourth tallest building in Shanghai, following the Shanghai Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Oriental Pearl Tower, Jin Mao Tower stands in the heart of the Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone in Pudong. It reaches a height of 420.5 meters (approximately 1,380 feet) and spans an area of 2.3 hectares (5.68 acres). Designed by architect Adrian D. Smith, this skyscraper beautifully merges traditional Chinese cultural elements with contemporary architectural styles, making it one of China’s most well-constructed buildings. The 88th floor, the highest level, houses the observation deck, accommodating up to 1,000 visitors at a time, offering a panoramic view of the Huangpu River’s banks.
- Riverside Promenade (Bingjiang Da Dao) - Next, the guide will lead the group to Shanghai Binjiang Avenue, established in 1997 on the east bank of the Huangpu River, often referred to as the new Bund of Pudong. It combines sightseeing, leisure, and relaxation, emphasizing the urban ecological environment and its functions. Strolling along the expansive Binjiang Avenue, overlooking the Bund’s panorama, and listening to the melodious whistles on the Huangpu River, offers a rare peaceful and comfortable experience in the city’s heart.
- Jade Buddha Temple - The third destination is the Jade Buddha Temple, a renowned Buddhist temple in Shanghai. Visitors can admire the site’s two exquisite jade Buddhas and the extensive collection of statues, relics, and art. Founded in 1882, the temple houses two jade Buddha statues (one sitting and one reclining) brought to Shanghai from Burma by sea.
- Shanghai Jiangnan Silk Museum - After lunch, the tour continues to the Shanghai Silk Museum, covering an area of 6,000 square meters, located in the Huangpu District. The museum aims to promote the development of Chinese silk culture and industry. China is the world’s largest silk producer, with most of its silk derived from mulberry silkworms.
- Xintiandi - Xintiandi is a tourist attraction that preserves Shanghai’s historical and cultural features while integrating Chinese and Western cultures. It is divided into northern and southern sections, with the south featuring modern architecture and the north showcasing Shikumen old buildings. This blend of Shikumen and modern architectural styles has transformed it into a trendy pedestrian street in the city’s center, representing the city’s new generation’s popular and leisurely lifestyle. Outdoor cafés, bars, and romantic restaurants are abundant.
- Shikumen Museum, Shanghai - This museum is an old Shikumen house from the 1920s that has been preserved and renovated. Modeled after a 1920s household, it features seven main exhibition rooms: the guest room, study room, old people’s room, master room, daughter room, pavilion room, and oven room. The visit narrates the story of a Shikumen family, showcasing Shanghai’s unique Shikumen architectural culture and recreating the living space and lifestyle of Shanghai residents from that era.
- Shanghai Temple Of the Town God (Chenghuang Miao) - The Old Town God Temple of Shanghai, with its rich history, draws numerous tourists worldwide. Besides praying, visitors can enjoy folk performances, participate in cockfighting, special calligraphy, and other acrobatic shows. The temple is renowned for its local snacks, making it a culinary haven with a variety of restaurants lining the streets.
- Yuyuan Old Street - Yuyuan Old Street is a historic business street that combines tourist attractions, shops, entertainment, and cultural exhibits. Its unique social appeal and rich commercial history stem from being home to the city’s earliest bank, gold shop, jeweler’s store, wine shop, and tea house. Exploring Shanghai’s old alleys offers a glimpse into the city’s traditional culture and the authentic life of its residents. The tour concludes with a traditional Chinese meal of Xiaolongbao.
- Huangpu River - The Huangpu River separates two iconic yet distinct Shanghai landscapes: the modern skyscrapers of Pudong and 26 diverse buildings of various architectural styles on the west side. At nightfall, a one-hour cruise along the Huangpu River allows guests to enjoy the light show and stunning night views on both riverbanks, including the Bund, Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Jin Mao Tower.
After completing all the activities in the itinerary, the group will return to the hotel, marking the end of the service.
