Overview

Here you will see some of the old Shanghai landmark buildings such as Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Jinmao Tower, Shanghai World Financial Tower, and the newest and tallest Shanghai Tower. After that, you will head to the the famous Shanghai Old town & Yu Garden bazaar area, where a large number of street vendors and markets sell just about everything: tea, antiques, Chinese seals, souvenirs, toys, Christmas decorations, everyday items, and random weirdness. Pass by the 200-year-old Hu Xin Ting Tea House while walking on the zigzag bridge, and admire its old and traditional Qing-Dynasty architecture, pavilions, fish and turtle ponds, and more. Then you and your guide will walk through the beautiful French concession area, a hip neighborhood that boasts an idiosyncratic push-pull between new and old and between development and preservation for an absolutely unique urban experience. Take a break to taste some of the local authentic food (own expense). Your guide will show you as much as possible during the layover tour. Feel free to discuss your travel interests with your guide.
