Trip highlights

• 01 Discover Ming and Qing Dynasty gems at Yu Garden and Shanghai Old Street
• 02 Roam the former French Concession, ending at Xin Tian Di's lively districts
• 03 Marvel at the Bund's panoramic Huangpu River views
• 04 Take in Shanghai from the observation deck of Shanghai Tower

Few cities evoke so much history, excess, glamour, mystique, and exotic promise in name alone. This well-organised tour takes you from the architectural landmarks lining the Bund and the rickety charm of the Old Town to the leafy backstreets of the former French Concession, as Shanghai is a city that begs for wandering. Along the way, discover Yu Garden and Shanghai Old Street, explore Xintiandi, and take in the city from the observation deck of Shanghai Tower. You may also love that you can slurp a bowl of hand-pulled noodles or bite into a soupy steamed bun for next to nothing.
