What to expect

1

Suzhou River

Stroll along Suzhou Creek’s revitalized riverbank—where old factories and warehouses now bloom into charming promenades, lush mini-gardens, and cozy cafés. Along the way, we’ll uncover architectural treasures like a century-old post office and historic residential complexes.

Waitanyuan

Waitanyuan (ROCKBUND) is perceived as the backstreet of the world-famous Bund. If the Bund represents Shanghai's vibrancy and energy, then the Rockbund is its quieter counterpart: reserved and refined. This area underwent an 18-year-long revitalization by a team of international architects and fully opened to the public in 2023.

Duration 30 minutes

The Bund

Discover the Bund, the iconic symbol of Shanghai’s peak in the early 20th century, hailed as the “No.1 city in the Far East.” Global talents and capital transformed it into a dazzling showcase of wealth. Uncover the hidden stories of these historic buildings and their role in a defining moment of Chinese history.

Duration 60 minutes

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
