A short tour, that shows you the beautiful architecture that is so typical for Shanghai. Beijing has its hutongs, Shanghai has her lilongs, or longtangs in the Shanghainese dialect. Behind the facades you see throughout Shanghai, a nearly invisible world can be found. Small streets that accommodate the Shanghainese communities in a way that makes it seem time stood still. Wheely shows you a few of these lilongs and shows you the Shanghainese life the way it was about 100 years ago These lilongs are mainly located in the French Concession and Wheely seizes the opportunity to show you some more of this gorgeous city. A Russian orthodox church, the former headquarters of a mob boss, Shanghai will have no secrets left for you after this tour. Almost!

Our guide really made the trip more than anything but the itinerary was very well put together with so much of such a huge country being covered in such a short time. This is my first trip travelling like this and it is by far the best holiday I've ever had, I feel like I made genuine friends with all my companions and never felt lonely despite arriving in the country on my own.

Food Market & Chinese Diet Tour - October 2027

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

Chinese medicine recognized the connection between food and health many years before the first frozen yogurt drink went on sale in the West. It is now accepted wisdom in the West that food and health are related. Traditional Chinese medicine, however, has long recognized a relationship between food and overall well being, and specific foods will often be recommended as part of the treatment for certain disorders. In China food therapy is a practice in the belief of healing through the use of natural foods instead of, or in addition to medications. The best way to learn this philosophy and practice of Chinese medicine is to join us for a visit to the largest open air food market in Shanghai which has survived till today against the trend of air conditioned supermarkets. If you want to experience the sights and smells of a wet market which hasn't really changed much over the years this is a must visit site. Here you will find fresh vegetables from local farms, homemade stinky tofu, live chickens, birds, eggs, live fishes, and an array of spices which gives Chinese food its distinctive taste. See whether you can spot any century eggs while walking around the market. Here you will also find fresh Chinese fruits, tea and kitchenware. You may get a feel of old Shanghai while walking through the narrow lanes listening to the vendors yelling out their bargains after the morning rush. This huge wet market is one of the few spots relatively untouched by tourists with a vast expanse of fresh produce. In the end of the tour, we will also walk into the hidden backstreets of the old town to learn about its interesting history and the way local lives.
