Description

Explore two unique riverside zones of Shanghai in depth on this private tour. Trace the winding path of Shanghai's forgotten waterway as it reveals the city's remarkable transformation. This intimate walking tour connects the historic lifeblood of old Shanghai with its bold future along the North Bund, offering perspectives few visitors discover. Stroll along tree-lined riverbanks where century-old bridges arch gracefully over waters that once carried the city's fortunes. Spot locals fishing from stone embankments, their silhouettes framed against renovated warehouses now housing avant-garde galleries and boutique cafés. The contrast between weathered stone and polished glass tells Shanghai's story of constant reinvention. Pause at the junction where Suzhou Creek meets the mighty Huangpu River, a strategic point that shaped Shanghai's destiny. Frame perfect photographs capturing three distinct eras of architecture: colonial-era customs houses, mid-century industrial monuments, and soaring contemporary skyscrapers. This rare vantage point offers Shanghai's most authentic skyline view, free from tourist crowds. Cross the iconic Garden Bridge, a historic landmark connecting Shanghai's past and present. This 1907 steel structure offers unparalleled views of Suzhou Creek's confluence with the Huangpu River, where traditional sampans once navigated alongside massive cargo ships. The bridge's distinctive green ironwork frames perfect photographs of the North Bund's evolving skyline. Discover the Shanghai Postal Museum housed in a magnificent 1924 neoclassical building. Marvel at its grand marble hall, ornate ceiling murals, and fascinating exhibits chronicling China's communication evolution. The museum's clock tower, once guiding ships along the Huangpu, remains a beloved North Bund landmark visible throughout your journey. Wander through the North Bund Riverside Greenway, a masterpiece of urban renewal where industrial docks have transformed into lush gardens and public plazas. Admire innovative sculptures celebrating Shanghai's maritime heritage. Explore the Shanghai International Shipping Service Center, whose distinctive 'sail-shaped' architecture pays homage to the area's seafaring history. Its observation deck offers spectacular 360-degree views encompassing both historic Puxi and futuristic Pudong districts. From this vantage point, identify landmarks including the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower, and the distinctive rooflines of colonial-era buildings along the Bund.
