- Pudong New Area - In the morning, the tour guide will greet you at the airport exit with a welcome sign displaying your name at 08:30 a.m. (depending on your flight arrival time). The guide will first take you to Shanghai Pudong New Area. As a vibrant and modern district, Pudong offers visitors some of the most contemporary attractions, businesses, skyscrapers, and shopping centers, all showcasing the latest in entertainment, technology, and fashion. You will stroll along Lujiazui Ring Bridge, an excellent spot for photographing skyscrapers.
- Shanghai World Financial Center - Located in the heart of Lujiazui in Pudong, adjacent to Shanghai Tower and Jin Mao Tower, the Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC) is currently the second tallest skyscraper in the city. Its exterior resembles a bottle opener, which is also its nickname. For tourists, it is a popular attraction featuring sightseeing observatories and the Park Hyatt Hotel.
- The Bund - Next, you will travel to the Bund through the sightseeing tunnel and explore the area. The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel, the first visitor tunnel under the Huangpu River in China, connects the Bund and Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone. It takes just 3-5 minutes to pass through the tunnel, where passengers can enjoy captivating visual effects accompanied by various sounds.
The Bund is a renowned waterfront on the west bank of the Huangpu River and is considered a symbol of Shanghai. Here, the allure of Shanghai as a bustling metropolis blending a century-old history with a thriving future is fully displayed, making the Bund a must-see attraction. You will observe 26 diverse buildings of different architectural styles at the Bund, such as the Peace Hotel, Shanghai Customs House, and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank.
Then, you will proceed to Yuyuan Old Street to experience the authentic Shanghai atmosphere and visit a classical garden.
- Yuyuan Old Street - Shanghai Old Street, historically known as Miaoqian Dajie, is an ancient business street that combines tourist attractions, shops, entertainment, and cultural exhibits. Its unique social appeal and rich commercial background stem from the fact that the city’s earliest bank, gold shop, jeweler’s store, wine shop, and tea house were all located here. Exploring the old alleys of Shanghai is a fantastic way to discover the city’s traditional culture and experience the real life of the Shanghainese.
Based on your preference, your guide will suggest a dining spot at Yuyuan Old Street, which could be a small local eatery or an elegant restaurant.
- Yu Garden (Yuyuan) - After lunch, you will tour Yu Garden. Yu Garden was a private garden of the Pan family during the Ming Dynasty. It was the largest and most prestigious of its time in Shanghai upon completion. Although small in size, Yu Garden contains all the elements of a classical Chinese garden. The pavilions, halls, rockeries, ponds, and cloisters each have unique features. The exquisite layout, beautiful scenery, and artistic style of the garden architecture make it one of the highlights of Shanghai.
- Nanjing Lu (Nanjing Road) - Nanjing Road is regarded as the ‘No. 1 commercial street in China’ and has been a landmark for the city for a long time. Along its 5.5 kilometers, you will find over 600 shops, which on average are visited by approximately 1.7 million people each day. You can also visit the thinnest building on Ningbo Road, known as the Paper Building (纸片楼). The building was once reported by the British Daily Mail as perhaps the world’s flattest and thinnest building. Standing diagonally in front of the building, it appears like a piece of paper. The old house has four floors and is not entirely thin; it takes the shape of a triangular polygon. This unique and unusual building still houses many residents.
- Shanghai Museum (Shanghai Bowuguan) - You will head to People’s Square to visit the Shanghai Museum and learn about the profound history and culture of Shanghai. The Shanghai Museum is a large museum of ancient Chinese art. Its style and presentation immerse visitors in artifacts that demonstrate ancient wisdom and philosophy. The exterior design of the round dome and square base symbolizes the ancient concept of a round heaven and a square earth. The museum is divided into eleven galleries and three exhibition halls. The eleven galleries cover most of the major categories of Chinese art: Ancient Bronze, Ancient Ceramics, Paintings, Calligraphy, Ancient Sculpture, Ancient Jade, Coins, Ming and Qing Furniture, Seals, and Minority Nationalities.
Afterward, enjoy a comfortable transfer back to the airport to catch your flight. Cherish your memories and bid farewell.
