Description

Upon arrival at Shanghai Pudong or Hongqiao Airport or Wusongkou Cruise Terminal, your professional guide will warmly greet you with a personalized name sign. Enjoy a comfortable private transfer to the city center, where you'll have the opportunity to discuss your interests and create a customized itinerary tailored to your layover time. While the itinerary is flexible, here is a sample suggestion: Start your tour at Lujiazui financial center, where you'll be captivated by the iconic city landmarks such as the Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai Tower, and World Financial Center. Marvel at the breathtaking skyline and gain insights into China's economic development. Next, explore the enchanting Yuyuan Garden, a 400-year-old well-preserved garden featuring elegant Chinese pavilions and authentic ancient architecture. (Please note that Yuyuan Garden is closed on Mondays; in this case, you can visit Yuyuan Bazaar, a lively market with Ming and Qing dynasty-style buildings, offering various souvenir shops and restaurants). Head to the historic French Concession, once the center of colonial life, and admire its impressive French-style architecture. Take a leisurely stroll along the tree-lined streets, immersing yourself in the rich history of 19th-century Shanghai. Continue your tour with a visit to the renowned Bund, where you'll be awe-struck by the magnificent views of both the old and new Shanghai. Capture stunning photos of the city skyline against the backdrop of the Huangpu River. If time permits, consider a visit to the Jade Buddha Temple. Explore the beautiful temple complex with its intricate chambers and remarkable Buddha statues. Witness the rituals and practices of local worshipers, and delve into the fascinating world of Chinese religious culture. (Please note that the Jade Buddha Temple closes at 4:30 pm). Depending on your preferences, you can also choose to visit other attractions such as Tianzifang, an artistic enclave with charming alleyways and small shops, the Shanghai Museum showcasing ancient bronze, furniture, and paintings, the Shanghai Tower (the second tallest building in the world), or experience the high-speed Maglev train, the fastest train in the world, which can transport you back to the airport. Conclude your private layover tour with a comfortable transfer back to Shanghai Pudong or Hongqiao Airport, Wusongkou Cruise Terminal, or your Shanghai city hotel, ensuring a seamless and memorable experience.
