Itinerary

Meet your private guide at your Shanghai hotel, and set off by private, air-conditioned vehicle to the city’s Xintiandi district.

Composed of restored Chinese and Western-style buildings dating from the late 19th century, this buzzing area is a shopping, cultural, and entertainment magnet for Shanghai’s fashionable crowd, with all manner of boutiques, restaurants, shops, and arty attractions.

Learn about Xintiandi's history as you wander through the stylish streets with guide. View the refurbished shikumen townhouses in the longtangs (old alleys), seeing how they’re home to trendy galleries, shops, bars, and restaurants, many specializing in cuisine from Latin America and Europe.

Break for lunch (own expense) at an eatery recommended by your guide, and then continue to Hengshan Road. Built in 1922, this elegant avenue was a premier residential area in Shanghai’s French Concession between 1849 and 1943, and is lined with French parasol trees.

Amble down the beautiful boulevard as your guide shares its history, and admire the 1920s villas, once some of Shanghai’s most exclusive expat homes. Discover how Henshang is now a hip bar quarter, with old-school residential buildings converted into inns, breweries, tea houses, courtyard cafes, and nightspots that attract the city's expats and party-goers come evening.

Peek down the side lanes of antique stores, art galleries, and concept restaurants, and hear the stories and secrets behind the most famous buildings. As you walk and talk, learn how the road was originally called Avenue Petain, and hear insights and anecdotes about its past.

Having explored here, your tour ends with a late-afternoon drop-off at your hotel.
