What to expect

  1. Zhujiajiao Ancient Town
    3h · Admission ticket included
    In centuries past, Zhujiajiao (/joo-jyaa-jyaoww/) was a bustling trading area where canals ferried products in little boats and barges. Boats remain an integral part of the town's charm, offering a unique perspective of the town and local life. Consider taking a gondola on the waterway to view the old town from a different angle at your own pace. Group sizes range from 3 to 10 people, providing flexibility. If you desire more time for photos or have questions about the history and architecture, simply inform your guide.
  2. Oriental Pearl Tower (Dongfang Mingzhu)
    3h · Admission ticket included
    In the afternoon, embark on a one-hour car journey to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. Ascend to the second sphere and
    marvel at the breathtaking city views.

    To enhance your experience, our product team has determined that the optimal time is 1:30 in the afternoon for three reasons: fewer people, brighter sunlight, and clearer views, particularly on days with lower air quality.
  3. The Bund
    2h
    Next, we will drive you to the top scenic spot in Shanghai—the Bund. This picturesque promenade along the Huangpu
    River offers a fantastic view of some of the most unique and splendid colonial buildings in Shanghai.

    To ensure a more in-depth experience, our guide will provide a comprehensive introduction while walking on the Bund. We will use a map to identify the 17 most representative buildings, offering insights into Shanghai's architectural history. This immersive experience provides not only photos of modern buildings but also delves into the history and historic images of its colonial past.
