What You Will Do

Step into the colonial-era French Concession and experience life across different social classes—from traditional alleys where locals once lived to a serene French-style park that was once reserved for expats, and the grand mansions of wealthy executives. We’ll explore three distinct neighborhoods, each with its own unique character—local, modern, and artsy—all beautifully transformed from historic alleyways. Tour highlights: 1. Create your own traditional Chinese crafts in TianZiFang. 2. Stroll along the tree-lined Wukang Road and admire its distinctive architecture. 3. Visit a historic French-style park and immerse yourself in the energy of local life. 4. Savor a drink in a boutique café. 5. Step into a traditional residential alley and uncover how dozens once lived under one roof. 6. Learn how XinTianDi transformed into one of China's most successful real estate projects. 7. Take home a lovely souvenir.

Xintiandi

1 hour

Explore XinTianDi, once a residential alley, now one of modern China's most renowned real estate developments. In this trendy shopping district, let's uncover hidden traditional Shikumen houses, which once accommodated two-thirds of Shanghai's population at their peak. Step into another peaceful alley, tucked away from the busy streets around it. Many locals still reside here—elderly women hang laundry in the passageways, while grandfathers ride their bikes through the tight lanes, picking up their grandchildren from school. It’s a beautiful glimpse of everyday life!
