Tour description
Shanghai is one of China’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities, where magnificent colonial buildings along the Bund face the futuristic skyline across the river, while a nostalgic old town still exists amid the skyscrapers. Once known as the “Paris of the East,” this is a city of striking contrasts. On this walking tour, a local guide will introduce you to the city’s history and vitality.\n\nYou will stroll along the waterfront of the famous Bund, explore the alleyways of the Chinese old town, and admire the skyline of Pudong. Along the way, you will hear stories about the concession era, merchants, and modern Shanghai. Both modern and rich in history, Shanghai is a city well worth exploring on foot.
