Hangzhou is just an hour from Shanghai by high-speed train—close enough for a two-day escape into classical Chinese landscape painting come to life. West Lake, tea plantations, and temple walks await.
Shanghai is where old China meets tomorrow. From the Bund's colonial skyline to the futuristic towers of Pudong, our guide covers the essential experiences for first-time visitors to China's most dynamic city.
Discover Shanghai's contrasts — 1930s Art Deco meets 21st-century futurism — on this comprehensive private day tour. Your English-speaking guide picks you up from your hotel and takes you first to the Bund, Shanghai's iconic waterfront promenade, where colonial-era buildings face the futuristic Pudong skyline across the Huangpu River. Walk into the Old City to explore Yu Garden, a 16th-century classical Chinese garden of rockeries, pavilions, and koi ponds, then browse the surrounding Yuyuan Bazaar for local snacks and crafts. Break for lunch at a local restaurant — your guide knows the best spots for xiaolongbao and Shanghainese specialties (meal at your own expense). After lunch, wander the plane-tree-lined streets of the French Concession, a neighborhood of 1920s lane houses, boutique cafés, and hidden art galleries. Walk along Wukang Road and see the historic Wukang Mansion. Cap the day with panoramic views from the Shanghai Tower observation deck, the world's second-tallest building. Includes hotel pickup and drop-off, private guide, all entrance fees, and private transport — no hidden costs.
