Description
Cruise Shanghai's hidden lanes in Mercedes. Savor local-only eateries, decode architectural secrets with my designer insight & experience the city's soul，far from tourist crowds. Curated, not toured.
"Your exclusive journey begins aboard my Mercedes V-Class luxury MPV as we glide through the former French Concession. Under centuries-old plane trees, I'll decode colonial villas' hidden symbolism through my Central Saint Martins-trained design lens – pointing out Art Nouveau flourishes even locals miss.
We'll slip into my childhood neighborhood's nongtang (lane houses), where Shanghainese elders share stories over steaming soup dumplings in a family-run kitchen untouched by tourism. Next, explore a converted factory housing independent ceramicists – I'll facilitate private studio visits thanks to my art-world connections.
The climax unfolds at sunset along Suzhou Creek: sip craft cocktails in a speakeasy disguised as an antique shop while I reveal how Shanghai’s jazz-age glamour shapes its cutting-edge creativity. Throughout, my 35 years as cultural insider guarantees access to spaces where history and modernity collide authentically.
