Food Market & Chinese Diet Tour - Summer tours

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.

Exploring Shanghai's The Bund Offbeat - Summer tours

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

There are lots of legends about the Bund in Shanghai, but how were the changes made to the farmlands into private wharf's and South-Asian style corridor built, eventually becoming an "international architectural exposition”? How was the westernized Public Park and the wide Yangtze Road built the Bund? Why did foreign consulates, Western firms and financial institutions setup their business right here? And why was the area called the Bund? Some of these answers are quite complex. On this tour we will reveal all secrets related to the famous The Bund. We will visit the former Astor House Hotel which was the first western hotel in China but now part of a building which has been secretly changed to a huge compound with local Chinese living in old hotel rooms as their day to day family home. We will also visit Waibaidu Bridge, which is the first all-steel bridge, and the only surviving example of a camelback truss bridge, in the entire China. The present bridge was opened on 20 January 1908. With its rich history and unique design the Waibaidu Bridge is one of the symbols of Shanghai. Next stop is the Bund's origin, where the Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek converge, regarded as the origin of the Bund and the city. The 138,000-square-meter area contains many historic buildings, such as the recently saved Shanghai Rowing Club, the Union Church and the former British Consulate. We then walk through the back street of East Nanjing Road, visit the famous historic buildings including the Peace Hotel, where many historical figures have stayed here such as Sun Yat-sen, Charlie Chaplin, Field Marshal Montgomery, Muhammad Ali, Bill Clinton, etc. We will also cover some of Shanghai's landmarks such as former HSBC building, custom house and former British club. We invite you on an exciting and informative journey about one of Shanghai's most famous areas - The Bund.
