Tour Duration: about 7:30 - 18:00
Your guide will be waiting for you at your hotel lobby and a comfortable car will transfer you to your first stop of the day.Today you will have a downtown exploration to some must-see attractions. Firstly we transfer you to visit the Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, which shows detailed information of the past, present and future of Shanghai in a quite interesting way. It is good to start the trip here as you may get an overview understanding of the city before you explore further. After that, go deeper to learn more by visiting Shanghai Museum, a different style than Urban Planning Exhibition Hall that presents you the profound history and culture of China.
Have lunch at a decent Shanghai restaurant and taste a selection of fine Shanghai cuisine, unique to the city.
Wander around at your leisure in the warren of streets hosting a variety of shops near the Yuyuan Garden.The outdoor bazaar at Yuyuan Garden sells various souvenirs, arts and crafts; the Cultural Street Market on Fuzhou Road, the Antique Street Market on Dongtai Road and the clothing street market on Shimen Road are traditional open-air Chinese markets. Walking around the bazaar makes you feel like you’ve gone back in time, as the area is liberally and colorfully decorated with Chinese lanterns and with animated life-sized figures (clockwork fantoccini) representing traditional Chinese lifestyle. Here, you can pause and have a taste of some interesting and typical Shanghai street food, while you take in the sights.
Your guide and driver will take you to Xintiandi — this is a must-see place you should find time to include when visiting Shanghai.
Xintiandi is famous because of its history and ancient beauty. Art exhibitions and other cultural activities are often organized to attract tourists and locals alike. Historic buildings and streets have been extensively renovated over time, which sometimes makes it hard for people to see what is original and what is new. It is recommended you take a seat and decide which is original and which is new over a cup of coffee after your walk .
After that you will come to the Bund area which is the quintessential of Shanghai. Finally, we will drive you back to your hotel, or you may enjoy your own time at Nanjing Road that is very close by.
