Description

This tour starts at Jiashan Road Subway Station in the heart of the French Concession. An email will be sent with detailed meeting location details immediately after booking. Shanghai's Famous Soup Dumplings Xiaolongbao (local for soup dumplings) are Shanghai’s most famous claim to fame, but do you know how to tell the good from the great? We’ll let you know at our favorite local dumpling joint that can compete with the touristy Michelin recommended restaurants. Try All the Carbs Scallion noodles, dumplings with sesame sauce, local curry, and more! Don’t forget to check out the kitchen on your way in, the labor intensive pan-fried-bun making process has been selected as Local Intangible Cultural Heritage. Explore Shanghai's French Concession by Foot Discover the homes and lanes that laid the foundation of this quaint neighborhood, now home to long-time locals and trendy markets, cafes, and bars. As we walk, we’ll visit restaurants that are hidden in plain sight and only visited by those “in the know.” Discover Classic Shanghainese Dishes Two words: Pork Belly. Shanghai’s favorite dish takes an entire day to prepare, and for a good reason. Enjoy this plus other “only in Shanghai” dishes that celebrate quality ingredients with fresh preparation. Shanghai's Sweet Secret Driven by a passion for dessert and community spirit, the Shanghainese owner of this cozy shop caters to the local neighborhood, crafting fresh desserts without pre-made shortcuts. Fresh mango atop chilled sago cream with a dash of pomelo…we’re drooling already! Local Craft Beer Taphouse Mingle street-side or cozy-up inside this 15-seat taphouse for an inside look (and taste) into China’s evolving micro-brewery scene. The taphouse is located near to South Shaanxi Road Subway Station.
