Morning: A Journey into Chinese Theater
We will pick you up from your hotel and begin with an interactive Chinese theater experience. Learn about the evolution of traditional Chinese drama, from the elegant Kunqu Opera—recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage—to the dynamic and visually striking Peking Opera.

Engage in hands-on activities such as:

1. Theater character handcrafting – Create your own theatrical mask or miniature props.

2. Costume dress-up – Try on elaborate costumes and experience the artistry of stage.

3. Behind-the-scenes insights – Discover how traditional performances come to life.

Visit the Iconic Theater：a historical and cultural landmark in Shanghai’s performing arts scene. Originally built in the mid-20th century, this theater has played a vital role in preserving and showcasing traditional Chinese opera. It is home to the Shanghai Peking Opera Company, where legendary performances have taken place.

Afternoon: Exploring Shanghai’s Cultural & Historical Treasures
After our theatrical adventure, we head to Longhua Temple, the oldest and largest Buddhist temple in Shanghai. Dating back over 1,700 years, this temple is a living testament to Shanghai’s ancient spiritual traditions. The Longhua Pagoda, an architectural masterpiece, has been a landmark of the city since the Song Dynasty.

Next, we will take you to Xuhui Riverside (West Bund), an area that reflects Shanghai’s incredible transformation from an industrial hub to a vibrant cultural waterfront. Once lined with dockyards and warehouses, it has been beautifully reimagined into a scenic promenade that preserves elements of its industrial past while embracing innovative urban design. A stroll along the riverside allows you to see how the city has evolved while still honoring its history.

At the end of the tour, we will drop you off at your hotel in the city or any preferred location within downtown Shanghai.
