Wander through the bustling lanes of Old Town, where traditional shikumen architecture and lively local markets offer a glimpse of authentic Shanghai life. Explore the ancient Yu Garden, a serene oasis of classical Chinese gardens adorned with intricate pavilions, winding paths, and tranquil ponds. Stroll along the iconic Bund, where elegant colonial buildings stand against the backdrop of the Huangpu River, and gaze at the breathtaking skyline dotted with futuristic skyscrapers like the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. With a dedicated guide tailoring the pace to your schedule, you’ll skip the hassle of navigation and dive straight into the city’s most memorable experiences—perfect for making the most of a short stopover.

    Itinerary Quick Look

    Upon your arrival at the airport, a friendly local driver will greet you with a personalized welcome sign—please note that your arrival and departure flight numbers are required for smooth coordination. Step aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy a hassle-free transfer into the city, where you’ll meet your dedicated guide to kick off your exclusive private tour. Below is a suggested itinerary, but as this is a fully customizable experience, adjustments can be made to align perfectly with your flight schedule.
    Your first stop is the vibrant Old Town Bazaar. Wander through its bustling streets lined with traditional architecture, where lively local markets brim with handicrafts, artworks, souvenirs, and mouthwatering food stalls. Meander across the renowned Nine Lucky Bridges in the heart of the town, capturing unforgettable moments of your Shanghai adventure along the way.
    Next, immerse yourself in the serenity of Yu Garden, a 500-year-old Ming Dynasty masterpiece. Explore this picturesque classical garden, admiring its intricate pavilions, winding paths, exquisite rockeries, and lush greenery surrounding tranquil ponds. Your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights into the garden’s rich history and cultural significance as you wander.
    Continue to the iconic Bund waterfront, where you’ll take a leisurely stroll along the Huangpu River. Marvel at the striking contrast between the city’s old and new skylines: on one side, futuristic landmarks like the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the 632-meter Shanghai Tower, and the “Bottle Opener” (Shanghai World Financial Center); on the other, historic gems including the legendary Peace Hotel and the Old Customs House, each steeped in heritage.
    Head next to People’s Square, the beating heart of Shanghai. Visit the charming Century Park—on weekends, you might even catch a glimpse of the lively marriage market, a unique local tradition. Afterward, wander to Nanjing Road, China’s most famous shopping street, where you can sample beloved local snacks like xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and crispy pancakes while soaking up the city’s dynamic energy.
    Your tour then takes you to the trendy French Concession, where you’ll admire the distinctive 1930s shikumen (stone-gated) residences blended with modern fashion boutiques. Alternatively, opt to experience the world’s fastest elevator (a Guinness World Record holder) at Shanghai Tower in Pudong, ascending to the observation deck for panoramic 360-degree views of Shanghai’s stunning skyline.
    If time allows, delve deeper into the city’s spiritual heritage with a visit to the century-old Jade Buddha Temple. Admire the exquisite jade Buddha statues imported from Burma, explore the temple’s sacred halls in a peaceful atmosphere, and learn about local customs and daily life from your guide.
    For those who have already visited the above attractions, you can choose alternative spots based on your interests and available time—options include Xintiandi, Tianzifang, the Shanghai History Museum, the Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, the Shanghai Poster Art Museum, or AP Plaza Market.
    After your unforgettable tour, you’ll be safely transferred back to the airport for your connecting flight. If you’ve booked accommodation in Shanghai, we’ll drop you off at your downtown hotel or desired location.
