Description

Step into the French Concession—where Shanghai’s past whispers to its present. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a time-traveling odyssey through dynasties, revolutions, and the modern magic that makes this city pulse. With your national-certified guide (and former PayPal China trainer | ESG lead), you’ll: ✅ Touch: history through Qing dynasty artifacts—feel how intangible cultural heritage lives in everyday objects. ✅ See: Shanghai’s evolution unfold—from hidden European villas to Art Deco masterpieces and contemporary alleyway homes. ✅ Talk: with 'cast' of characters—20th century socialites, rebels, emperors, and dumpling-shop grandmas whose stories are Shanghai’s story. ✅ Taste & Smell: your way through time—sample iconic Shanghainese flavors across eras at tucked-away eateries only locals know. As both a cross-cultural bridge and born-and-bred Shanghainese, I don’t just point out landmarks—I decode the city’s hidden language. By the end, you’ll leave with more than photos: a visceral connection to the soul of Shanghai.

Includes

A 3 hour narrative journey through the French Concession’s past and present. Expert commentary from a nationally licensed guide + storyteller. Hidden eateries stops food tasting. Exclusive digital guidebook with historical photos and vlog tips.
