Before 1949, the site of Shanghai People’s Square and the People’s Park was a renowned horse racetrack, established in 1861 and known as the ‘No.1 Racetrack in the Far East’. Visitors can still see the remnants of the former main building in the northeast part of People’s Square.
The tour will include many scenic spots around People’s Square, such as the new Municipal Government Mansion, Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Grand Theater, Shanghai History Museum, and the Urban Planning Exhibition Hall. The group will then visit the Shanghai Museum. -

Its design and presentation immerse visitors in artifacts that reflect ancient wisdom and philosophy. The museum’s exterior, with its round dome and square base, symbolizes the ancient concept of a round heaven and a square earth.

Huangpu River - The Huangpu River separates two iconic yet distinct Shanghai views: the modern skyscrapers of the Pudong area and the 26 diverse architectural buildings on the west side.
The group will enjoy a one-hour cruise along the Huangpu River, taking in the beautiful scenery on both sides, including the Bund, the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Jin Mao Tower.
Afterwards, the group will head to Yunnan Road, known for its delightful eateries, perfect for a quick meal. Lunch will be enjoyed nearby before proceeding to the next destination.

It is filled with flowers, bonsai, birds, fish, insects, and bustling crowds searching for their desired items. It offers a glimpse into local life.
- Xintiandi - Xintiandi is a tourist destination that preserves Shanghai’s historical and cultural features while blending Chinese and Western cultures. Xintiandi is divided into northern and southern sections. The south features modern architecture, while the north is characterized by Shikumen old buildings. This area, combining Shikumen and modern architectural styles, has become a trendy pedestrian street in the city 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 an old Shikumen house built in the 1920s, which has been preserved and renovated. The museum replicates a 1920s household with seven main exhibition rooms: the guest room, study room, old people’s room, master room, daughter room, pavilion room, and oven room. The story of a Shikumen family is woven throughout the visit, showcasing Shanghai’s unique Shikumen architectural culture and recreating the living space and lifestyle of Shanghai residents of that era.

Exploring the old alleys of Shanghai is an excellent way to discover the city’s traditional culture and experience the authentic life of the Shanghainese.
Visitors can walk to the Zigzag Nine Bend Bridge, which is believed to bring good luck due to the auspicious symbolism of the number nine in Chinese culture. The bridge leads to the Mid-Lake Pavilion Teahouse, the oldest teahouse in Shanghai. - Shanghai Tower - As a new landmark of Shanghai, the Shanghai Tower stands as the tallest building in the city, reaching a height of 632 meters.
