Tour catalogue Shanghai field

Shanghai is a city of contrasts and energy, an ideal starting point for organized tours of the city and its surrounding areas. From here it is convenient to go on trips to the old water settlements, the islands of the archipelago and the neighboring provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangsu; if you wish, you can choose more distant travel in China, while remaining within the framework of thoughtful programs.

Important places in Shanghai

In and around Shanghai, you will find iconic places that are included in most routes and excursions: the majestic skyscrapers of the Pudong district and the Waitan Embankment (Bund), cozy streets of the French concession, labyrinths of old Chinese alleys and traditional gardens like Yuyuan. In the surroundings, excursions to well-preserved water towns, such as Zhujiajiao, are organized, as well as evening walks along illuminated streets and promenades, where the city reveals its most spectacular sides.

Outdoor recreation

Nature around Shanghai is often surprising with its diversity: quiet canals and rivers in the suburbs, green parks within the city and nearby islands of the archipelago - Shengxi, as well as a large watershed island Chongming, known for its protected areas and poultry breeding places. For active travelers, boat trips along the canals, biking routes along coastal trails and bird watching are available, and for families and those seeking peace of mind, leisurely walks along ancient bridges and cozy shores.

Thematic tours and programmes

Of particular interest are thematic tours with tastings and meetings with masters: tea ceremonies in ancient tea houses, visits to silk and ceramic workshops, meetings with fishing families on the islands and acquaintance with local crafts in the French concession. Ethno excursions to suburban villages and relaxation programs with visits to spas and traditional baths in suburban centers are also available, which give an opportunity to recuperate after a busy day of research.

The formats of travel in Shanghai are flexible: it can be individual trips with a personal guide, group excursions, hiking in historical quarters, car routes around the neighborhood or water routes and short cycling trips on islands and coastal trails. Local guides are valuable because they offer author’s routes and deep stories about the city, which are not always found in standard guidebooks, and help build individual excursions to the interests of the group.
