Description

Your guide and driver will meet you at your downtown hotel lobby at your chosen time to begin the sightseeing tour. Start at Yu Yuan Garden and Bazaar, Shanghai’s largest historic garden built in 1559. Explore the traditional bazaar with its variety of souvenir shops, handmade crafts, folk art, and packaged snacks.

Next, visit Jade Buddha Temple, a renowned Buddhist temple from the Qing Dynasty. See two jade Buddha statues imported from Burma, and learn about the temple’s history and architecture from your guide. Afterward, enjoy a local lunch featuring Shanghai Shengjian dumplings with beer or soft drinks.

In the afternoon, visit Shanghai Tower for panoramic views from the tallest building in China and the second tallest in the world. Finish the day with a walk along the French Concession and the Bund. Your guide and driver will return you to your hotel, or you may choose to stay in the Bund area for evening exploration.
