About This Tour
Shanghai has a long and rich history. Centuries ago, it was a small county in the Qing Dynasty. 180 years ago, it became a semi-colonial port. Today, it’s one of China’s greatest supercities. It is open, diverse, and welcoming. On this 3-hour Citywalk, we’ll see Shanghai’s must-visit sights. I’ll share historical stories along the way. Together, we’ll explore Shanghai’s history and China’s development over the past 200 years. I’ll show you historic buildings, tell stories about famous figures, take photos for you, and recommend great local food. I promise you’ll have an unforgettable tour in Shanghai!
