Overview

Start your morning on historic Nanjing Road before the crowds arrive and see how locals begin their day. Our first stop is a tiny breakfast stall where dough is hand-pulled and sizzling on the griddle.

As we walk toward People’s Park, we’ll visit family-run eateries that have served locals for decades. Along the way, you’ll taste a curated selection of classic Shanghai breakfast favorites: a crisp Chinese crepe (jianbing), rich soup dumplings (xiaolongbao), golden pan-fried pork dumplings, a warm honey egg custard bun, flaky scallion pancakes, and a coconut latte from the café locals call “Chinese Starbucks.”

We'll share the stories behind each dish and why breakfast is such an essential part of life here. We continue through quiet alleyways near Rock Bund before ending at The Bund, where you can enjoy the riverfront view or keep exploring.

What to expect

  1. Nanjing Lu (Nanjing Road)
    1h
    You’ll start on Nanjing Road while it’s still quiet. No crowds, just locals starting their day. You’ll get a feel for the neighborhood and hear a quick intro to the area before we slip into the side streets where the real breakfast spots are.
  2. People’s Square
    1h
    People’s Park is where Shanghai wakes up. One corner feels like a zen garden, the next like a mini dance floor. We cut through the park to get a quick hit of morning energy before heading to our next food stop.
  3. The Bund
    1h
    We’ll wrap up our morning at The Bund, where old Shanghai meets the modern skyline. Take in the stunning view of the Huangpu River and Pudong’s skyscrapers, a perfect finish to your breakfast adventure.
