Description
Discover the hidden gems of Shanghai on a private walking tour. Explore the Bund, cross the Huangpu River on a historic ferry, and get personalized recommendations from your guide.
Meet your guide at East Nanjing Road Metro Station and enjoy a brief introduction to Shanghai’s commercial history as you walk through the beginning of China’s most famous shopping street.
Visit the iconic Garden Bridge (Waibaidu Bridge), the first all-steel bridge in China. Explore the "Rockbund" area, where you’ll see the former British Consulate and early 20th-century architecture in a peaceful setting away from the main crowds.
Walk the full length of the Bund. Your guide will share the "insider" history of the Peace Hotel, the Customs House, and the former HSBC building. If open, peek inside historic bank lobbies to see stunning mosaics and marble designs that 90% of tourists walk past.
Board the local public ferry for a short ride across the river. This is the most authentic and scenic way to feel the scale of the city’s shipping history while getting spectacular photos of both the old and new skylines.
Conclude the tour at the edge of the Old City. Your guide will explain the layout of the traditional neighborhoods and provide a list of "hidden gem" restaurants for lunch or dinner, ensuring you continue your Shanghai adventure with confidence.
