Shanghai - After energizing with the city’s dream-chasing breakfast, transition to the heart of Shanghai’s daily operations — the neighborhood wet market, where the true essence of Shanghai’s flavor is crafted. Enjoy a Full-Sensory Shopping Experience!
-
Nanjing Lu (Nanjing Road) - Welcome to Nanjing Road, famously known as China’s No. 1 Commercial Street, a place that narrates the story of modern Chinese commerce.
A century ago, it was characterized by its ‘Four Great Department Stores’, which pioneered the modern shopping experience in China.
Today, witness its transformation with global giants like Apple and Huawei. The world’s largest Pop Mart signifies a new era. These developments illustrate how Nanjing Road continually evolves, from grand department stores to experiential retail.
-
Dahuchun - As the headquarters of a true Shanghai culinary legend, Da Hu Chun has been crafting shengjianbao for over 90 years.
It’s not just any shop. It has been consistently recommended by the prestigious Michelin Guide, earning the “Bib Gourmand” title for offering exceptional quality at a very reasonable price. This makes it an authentic piece of Shanghai’s food culture, cherished by both locals and notable visitors (like Apple’s Tim Cook), right in the heart of the old city. -
Holy Trinity Church, Shanghai - Completed in 1869, the Holy Trinity Church is the oldest and most renowned Anglican church in Shanghai.
For over a century, it served as the spiritual and social hub of the British community in the International Settlement. Its distinctive appearance, with a sharp spire and colorful stained glass, made it a significant landmark.
Unlike many buildings on the Bund, it wasn’t a bank or trading house—it was a place of peace and community amidst the bustling commercial district. After restoration, it stands today as a quiet reminder of old Shanghai’s diverse religious life. - Shanghai - Shanghai is the birthplace of China’s modern media. The “Press and Publishing Street” (Hankou Road) has been China’s headline for over 150 years. In the early 1900s, it was the hidden engine of ideas — where newspapers, magazines, and revolutionary pamphlets originated.
-
Shucaiji Pan-Fried Vegetable Rice - Welcome to Shanghai’s “Snack Power Walk” zone. Here, grab, munch, and keep moving — just like the locals. Up next, a trio of classics that define street-eating.
Here, you will also see rows of lamb carcasses, the gleaming hooks… doesn’t it feel like a teleportation straight into the heart of a Moroccan souk or Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar? This stretch of road is famous for its Halal meat shops, a testament to Shanghai’s diverse culinary tapestry. - Dexing Hall - De Xing Guan (Est. 1883) is a cornerstone of authentic Shanghai (Benbang) cuisine. For nearly 150 years, its takeaway counters have been the city’s go-to for classic dishes like red-braised pork, drunken chicken, and expertly crafted soup dumplings. It represents the timeless, savory-sweet heart of Shanghainese food culture.
- Xing Hua Lou Group - Xinghualou, one of Shanghai’s most legendary culinary institutions. Founded in 1851 by Guangdong natives, it introduced authentic Cantonese dim sum to Shanghai. Over generations, it has evolved by blending those techniques with local Shanghainese tastes, creating a unique ‘East-meets-West, South-meets-North’ style now known as ‘Haipai’ (Shanghai-style) Cantonese cuisine. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s a living museum of how Shanghai absorbs and adapts cultures.
