We are going to cross the Huangpu River in a way that is not common here - not by subway, not by car, but by ferry!
The ferry port spans the most central part of the river (also the same with the best part of a cruise ship) in Shanghai, and we will have a chance to see the view of both the tall-modern Lujiazui and the grand-historical Bund on the river.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: The Bund (Wai Tan), Zhongshan East 1st Road, Shanghai China
After ferry, we’ll reach another highlight of this tour: the Bund and the International Architectural Exposition.
Since the end of the 19th century(the late Qing Dynasty), this area became an imperialist concession, gathering consulates of various countries and major financial institutions, and was once the political, financial and cultural center of various powers in Shanghai. In addition to historical significance, the buildings here are also designed and built in different architectural styles and have high artistic value.
It is a place where history and present intersect, where West and East merge. Standing by the Huangpu River, you are at the perfect intersection of the modern, towering east bank and the historic, grand west Bank.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Nanjing Road (E), Nan Jing Dong Lu, Waitan, Huang Pu Qu, Shang Hai Shi, China
From the Bund, we will reach one of the most famous pedestrian streets in China - Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street. Here we will see some interesting shops of Chinese old brands(such as China's most famous scissors brands, traditional style gold shops, large food emporiums - all free to visit, you don't have to buy anything unless you want to), as well as the most popular/fashion products in Shanghai right now.
On the way we will get a cup of coffee or tea, or the very popular milk tea (bubble tea) to hold in our hands, and we will taste snacks of Shanghai's favorite brands (or local fruits), all at no extra cost to you.
We will also have dinner in this street.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: People’s Square, People’s Square, Shanghai

Also, the amazing "special ingredients"(if you like), such as duck blood, chicken feet, pig brains and etc.
Our tour ends at dinner(dinner included), but your night is just beginning! After a satisfying dinner, take a walk back to the Bund, enjoy the fantastic night scenery on East Nanjing Road and both sides of the Huangpu River. It will take this amazing day to another level!
