Additional Information

Half a century prior to World War II, the Hongkew region was the epicenter of Shanghai’s academic, artistic and political scene.

Guided by our knowledgeable historical expert, you’ll uncover stories of love, extravagance, and turmoil in this location. For instance, you will learn about the Korean revolutionary who murdered Japanese military officials, and the friendship between the Chinese left-wing author Luxun and the Japanese bookstore owner, Uchiyama. While wandering through the park and backstreets, you’ll discover historically significant places.

The Hongkew tour shines a light on life in Asia during Shanghai’s colonial era, a period that has been largely overlooked. The Hongkew zone was where early Communists crossed paths with modern Catholicism.

We invite you to join us on this genuinely unique Shanghai excursion!

We did it all with Lily’s Help! - This past December my family and I went to Shanghai. We were there supporting our son’s significant other who was working, traveling and performing in China. Her family was there as well and so Lily had the task of connecting us to guides available over the holidays and helping us to see as much of Shanghai as possible in a short time without overloading us. WHEW! She did a great job we saw so much, the old city, the Jewish Ghetto, the Red Route tour, the Water towns and an acrobatic show to boot. Our guides Wing and Jamie were both terrific. Prompt, very knowledgeable, and went out of their way to make sure we got what we needed from each experience. This planning made the trip so successful for our gang of 8 and I would highly reccomend Lily to anyone and everyone. Thank you again for making our trip one we won’t forget!
