• Zhujiajiao Ancient Town - Meet the Shanghai insider guide at the hotel lobby, then travel to Zhujiajiao Ancient Water Town. This fan-shaped town boasts a rich history spanning hundreds of years. The town is adorned with numerous Ming and Qing Dynasty architectural examples along the lakes, and its 36 stone bridges maintain their historical charm. Discover the allure of ancient bridges, historic buildings, and flowing streams. Stroll along the canal and through the historic lanes. Later, enjoy an optional relaxing boat ride on the canal to soak in the picturesque surroundings. Capture stunning photos with friends and family.
• Yu Garden (Yuyuan) - Next, return to Shanghai city to visit the renowned Yu Garden, a classic Chinese-style garden. Located in the heart of Shanghai’s old quarters, Yuyuan Garden was established in 1559 during the Ming Dynasty, showcasing traditional Chinese architecture and style. Spanning 2 hectares, it features rockeries, pavilions, ponds, and corridors. Explore the serene and decorative landscapes with a camera in hand, and delve into the garden’s history.
• Former French Concession - Walk along Wukang Road, which extends 1.17 kilometers. Originally constructed in 1907, this road exemplifies the garden-style residential complex typical of the French Concession. Lined with plane trees, it features numerous early 20th-century European-style buildings, once home to many notable figures.
• The Bund (Wai Tan) - Continue to the Bund, a 1.5-kilometer-long embankment along the western bank of the Huangpu River. The west side is an “architecture gallery” with 52 well-preserved European-style buildings. Once the hub of old Shanghai’s trade and commerce, the Bund now thrives with modern developments, chic restaurants, upscale shops, and bars, offering plenty to see and do. By night, it transforms into a magical scene!
• Shanghai Tower - From the Bund, visit the Shanghai Tower, China’s tallest building at 632 meters. Opt for a panoramic 360-degree city view from the observatory (additional cost). Please note that visibility may be affected by weather conditions.

If some of these attractions have already been visited, consider exploring other options based on interests: Pearl TV Tower, World Financial Center, Jinmao Tower, or the Shanghai Museum. After the tour, the guide will return guests to their hotel, cruise port, or the airport.
