Shanghai: Wildlife Park, Xinchang, and Bund Private Tour

Discover Shanghai's wildlife, history, and modernity on a private day tour. See giant pandas at the Wildlife Park, explore Xinchang Ancient Water Town, and watch the Bund light up at dusk.
**Start your day with the star of Chinese wildlife — the giant panda.**

Your private English-speaking guide and private driver pick you up from your central Shanghai hotel in the morning and head south, the skyscrapers fading in the rear-view mirror. First stop: **Shanghai Wildlife Park** — and straight to the panda house, where the day's most famous residents are already up and about. Mornings are feeding time: keepers bring in fresh bamboo, and the giant pandas sit up, strip the stalks with their teeth and munch through breakfast just centimetres away, on the other side of the glass. They roll, scratch, climb their platform — then, without warning, doze off mid-bite. With no tour-group clock to obey, you can stay and watch as long as you like.

Beyond the panda house the park holds golden snub-nosed monkeys, white tigers, African lions and an open-range safari zone you ride through in your own private vehicle. But the pandas are the moment everyone remembers — up close, unhurried, unfiltered.

Then the scene changes on purpose. Just 20 minutes south lies **Xinchang Ancient Water Town**, a Ming & Qing water town that's been quietly inhabited for over 700 years. Where Zhujiajiao draws the tour-bus crowds, Xinchang keeps its original flagstone alleys, low riverside houses and a dozen stone arch bridges — and a slower, saltier rhythm: salt-baked lamb, pork-stuffed tofu and grandma's rice dumplings still cooked over wood fires. Your guide walks you along the 1.5-km riverside loop, tea-house and snack-stall stops at your own pace.

By late afternoon your driver crosses the city for the finale: **sunset on the Bund**. Stand on the promenade as the old colonial facades turn gold — then watch the whole Pudong skyline, tower by tower, light up across the river.
