• Jade Buddha Temple - The tour guide will meet the group at the hotel at 9:00 a.m. and then proceed to the Jade Buddha Temple to begin the highlight tour. This active monastery is one of Shanghai’s most popular temples, featuring two exquisite jade Buddhas and a vast collection of statues, relics, and art. Despite its relatively short history, the temple’s classical architectural style makes it a unique and irreplaceable landmark in the modern city. Whether one is a Buddhist or not, the temple offers a peaceful and transcendent atmosphere that enriches the busy modern lifestyle.
• Shanghai Jiangnan Silk Museum - After lunch, the tour continues to the Shanghai Silk Museum, which spans 6,000 square meters in the Huangpu District. The museum aims to promote the development of Chinese silk culture and industry, with China being the world’s largest silk producer. Most Chinese silk comes from mulberry silkworms. The museum showcases the fascinating process of silkworm cultivation, an elegant silk exhibition hall, and the intricate silk production process.
• Xintiandi - Xintiandi is a tourist attraction that preserves Shanghai’s historical and cultural features while integrating Chinese and Western cultures. It is divided into northern and southern sections, with the south featuring modern architecture and the north showcasing Shikumen old buildings. This blend of Shikumen and modern styles has transformed Xintiandi into a trendy pedestrian street in the city’s center, representing the leisurely lifestyle of the city’s new generation. Outdoor cafes, bars, and romantic restaurants are abundant.
• Shikumen Museum, Shanghai - This museum is housed in a preserved and renovated Shikumen house from the 1920s. It is modeled after a typical household from that era, with seven main exhibition rooms: the guest room, study room, old people’s room, master room, daughter room, pavilion room, and oven room. The museum tells the story of a Shikumen family, showcasing Shanghai’s unique architectural culture and the lifestyle of its people during that time. It serves as a place to cherish memories of old Shanghai and trace historical roots.
• Nanjing Lu (Nanjing Road) - The tour includes a walk and shopping experience along Nanjing Road, known as the ‘No. 1 commercial street in China.’ This landmark street stretches 5.5 kilometers and features over 600 shops, attracting approximately 1.7 million visitors daily. Visitors can find everything from affordable souvenirs to luxurious world-famous brands.
• People’s Square (Renmin Guang Chang) - Located at the heart of Shanghai, People’s Square is the dividing point between East and West Nanjing Road. It is a bustling area with many scenic spots, including the new Municipal Government Mansion, Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Grand Theater, and the Urban Planning Exhibition Hall. The south side of People’s Avenue features several large underground structures, such as Hong Kong Famous Brands Street and Dimei Shopping Center, as well as Asia’s largest underground city transformer substation and Shanghai’s largest underground parking garage.
• Oriental Pearl Tower (Dongfang Mingzhu) - Once the tallest building in Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl Tower remains a prominent skyscraper in Pudong, visible from The Bund. The 1,535-foot (468-meter) tower features observation platforms, a glass-bottomed walkway, a rotating restaurant, and the Shanghai History Museum in its basement. The tower’s facade is a must-see during a Shanghai visit. Visitors can explore the tower, learn about Shanghai’s history in the basement museum, dine with 360-degree views in the rotating restaurant, and enjoy the views from the observation decks. If the weather permits, a spectacular sunset may be visible.
• Huangpu River - The Huangpu River separates two iconic yet distinct Shanghai sights: the modern skyscrapers of Pudong and 26 diverse buildings of various architectural styles on the west side. At nightfall, a one-hour cruise along the Huangpu River offers a chance to enjoy the light show and stunning night scenery on both sides, including the Bund, Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Jin Mao Tower.
