• Former French Concession - The local expert guide and driver will greet you at the cruise port terminal. On the way, take a few minutes to discuss your personalized tour. As a private shore excursion, the schedule, duration, and activities are entirely your choice.
  Here is the suggested itinerary, but feel free to inform your guide if any adjustments are needed.
  Start with a visit to the French Concession, once the hub of colonial life, now the trendiest neighborhood in Shanghai. Stop by Fuxing Park, where the French-style gardens honor the park’s colonial origins. In the morning, the park provides a wonderful introduction to traditional Shanghai life as locals gather for activities like calligraphy, singing, and ballroom dancing. Feel free to join a dance if you like!
• People’s Square (Renmin Guang Chang) - Next, proceed to People’s Square, known as the heart of Shanghai. Besides being an excellent spot to observe locals in their daily routines, the square hosts the famous Marriage Market on weekends, where local parents seek partners for their single children. If it rains, consider visiting the world-class Shanghai Museum, with its impressive collection of historic artifacts, or the intriguing Shanghai Urban Planning Museum.
• Old Town (Nanshi) - Continue the tour to Old Town/Nanshi. Explore its narrow alleyways and vibrant markets, and if you wish, shop for tea, antiques, local arts, handicrafts, souvenirs, or everyday items like clothes and chopsticks. Enjoy a visit to the charming Yu Garden, built during the Ming Dynasty.
  After the morning activities, take a break and enjoy a delightful local lunch. Savor xiaolongbao soup dumplings, Shanghai-style noodles, or meat, fish, and vegetable dishes, accompanied by plenty of tea.
• The Bund - After lunch, enjoy a leisurely 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. On a clear day, you might choose to visit one of the top observation decks at Shanghai Tower, Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, or Jinmao Tower.
