Culture and History tour in Shanghai

Tour Price : 1PAX 140USD;Each extra pax 30USD per pax Duration : 4hours Languages: English, Chinese, Shanghainese, Korean

Shanghai is one of the few places in the world where tomorrow turns into today so fast that you won’t even notice the changes until they are already there for some time. Being one of the most dynamic and largest cities on the planet, Shanghai is taking huge leaps into the future, which would normally take decades in other places, yet take a year here. That makes the contrast between old and new Shanghai so fascinating. And during this tour you will have the chance to see how this city transformed from a common eastern port to one of the most hi-tech and industrialized cities today.

Our first stop will take us to the City Planning Exhibition Hall, which is the perfect place to explore the Shanghai of the past, with its small traditional building and narrow streets, and see the vision of the city for the future. People's Square will show you the main part of the old city, while the Bund will tell you the story of European colonization and cultural influence on Shanghai. Divided into two main parts by the Huangpu River, Shanghai shows a stark contrast between its east and west side. And if the west side speaks of the past, the east is what we know of the city today – huge towers and crazy construction that never stops.

Just as we’ll cross the river, you will see the city of tomorrow that still never forgets its past.
