Explore the best of the old city of Shanghai, there is a lot to see
In this one day tour, you will visit the highlights of Shanghai in Puxi part of the city. Puxi is the old part, where you can still see a lot of the history of Shanghai. You will get a nice overview of the history, but also get a glimpse about how life is in Shanghai nowadays.
I will take you to some of the famous places like People Square, Nanjing Road, Yu Yuan garden and Jing'An temple. But I will also take you to some of the more hidden places like The Propaganda poster Exhibition and the Cricket market. Here you can see the real-life of Chinese people in Shanghai. And of course, we will also have a taste of the famous Shanghai food at lunchtime. In this tour, we will travel by metro/subway and taxi and will do some walking.
This is my standard tour, but if you like I can customize it to your wishes, or please inquire for a larger group.
