Shanghai Classic Private One Day Tour

We start visiting right after opening hour to avoid massive tourist crowds. As one of China’s top four national museums, it houses world-class collections of ancient Chinese art treasures. Your professional English guide provides in-depth commentary across Bronze Ware, Ceramic, Chinese Painting & Calligraphy exhibition halls. You may take photos of the iconic museum building located on People’s Square. Reminder: Free admission requires real-name online reservation in advance; original valid ID document is compulsory for entry check.

Enjoy smooth private car transfer from People’s Square to Yu Garden. Skip crowded public transit for a relaxed, time-saving ride.

Taste authentic Shanghai Benbang cuisine at time-honored local eateries with signature dishes including Nanxiang soup dumplings and crispy crab pastries, with three dining tiers for your choice. Explore the 400-year-old classical Jiangnan garden with professional guide commentary covering historic tales and gardening aesthetics, visit the century-old City God Temple, and stroll the traditional market street for local snacks and souvenirs.

Walk along Shanghai’s century-old commercial pedestrian street that blends vintage old Shanghai charm and modern fashion. Browse time-honored local stores and modern shopping malls, and walk eastward to reach the entrance of the Bund.

Sightsee during the golden hour to enjoy layered scenery of elegant European historic buildings, romantic Huangpu River sunset and dreamy twilight city views. Your guide will share detailed historical stories of the Bund’s classic architectural clusters and landmark buildings like Peace Hotel.

Experience the local East Jinxian Ferry for a short river cruise to enjoy full panoramic views of the Bund skyline and Lujiazui skyscrapers. Private car transfer will replace the ferry service on rainy days for comfort and convenience.
