With a whopping 23 million people calling China’s industrial hub home, Shanghai is known for being the busier, brusquer sibling to smaller, friendlier Beijing. The unexpected level of ‘East meets West’ in Shanghai is part of what makes it so fascinating and, therefore, on your trip to China, a visit to Shanghai will introduce you to China’s most capitalist yet creative city.

Exciting 5d/4n Yangtze River cruise

I went on a 5d/4n Yangtze River cruise from Yichang to Chongqing. The cruise ship was relatively new and the cabin was clean and comfortable. There was enough food selection to cater for everyone’s tastes. The crew members were very helpful and polite, one (Cindy) even helped me get the food for every meal. There were also enough activities on board like movies, spa etc if one opted out of land excursions. The land excursions were very enjoyable. Despite my temporary restricted mobility, I was assisted in getting on and off the ship and when the wheelchair was required, the staff members offered to help in pushing it. Thalia from AOT had been exceptionally helpful, advising me on which land excursion was not suitable for me and even sent a requested foldable stool to the hotel for my use in the shower on our extended 2-day stay in Chongqing post cruise. Overall, this cruise had been a very good and pleasant experience for me.

The trip overall was incredible! Every aspect was planned out and coordinated, and as a trip manager was incredible. Very good balance of fun and informative, whilst also staying on top of it the entire time. China is such a beautiful country, and everyone should go and explore it if they ever get the chance. Highly recommended!!

Excellent Service

Heartfelt Thanks for an Amazing China Trip! Dear Olivia, I hope this message finds you well. Our family of four recently returned from our trip to China, we wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for all your efforts in making it such a wonderful experience. From the seamless arrangements—the comfortable car, professional driver, and knowledgeable guides—to the well-planned itinerary, every detail was executed perfectly. We truly felt cared for throughout our journey, and it’s all thanks to your hard work and attention to detail. We had an incredible time exploring China’s beautiful sights and culture, and much of that joy came from knowing everything was so well taken care of behind the scenes. Your dedication made our trip stress-free and memorable. Please also extend our gratitude to the rest of your team. Wishing you all the best, and thank you once again. Kyle 2025 September

This has been my 6th tour with trafalgar and my 24th country and I must say this was the cleanest and nicest country I've been too. To say don't believe what you've thought about this country would be an understatement. From the culture to the people we felt welcomed and untreated everywhere you go. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating and went over and above to make our experience memorable. If you can make it past the 19hrs in the air this trip is highly recommend, my only regret it wasn't long enough. Until our next visit.

Using an outstanding travel company

We have done multiple cruises with agents in both Australia and the USA. My first time booking with Victor was excellent. He took care was responsible for a pleasant and worry free cruise. I would not hesitate to recommend Victor and his company for anyone requiring a cruise or tour in china.

Without question, the overall tour guide - *personal info removed by Feefo* - was the meat-and-potatoes of the entire tour. His knowledge of historical and regional Chinese culture and language, and his unwavering support for each member of our tour was unparalleled to any tour I have previously been on, with any tour company. I really can not emphasize enough how on-the-ball he was; two highspeed rails, two in-country Air China flights. and a river cruise, and he made everything just unfold without any drama. He also had a very good report with our local city guides, and either from instinct or experience knew when to let them run the show, or when to add in his wisdom. Look, China was going to be an exciting trip either way, but having a tour guide who was professional, helpful, and patient 24/7 for over two weeks is unheard of. But it happened!

  • See a Buddha carved from pure jade at the aptly named Jade Buddha Temple.
  • For those wanting to seek out Shanghai’s edgier side, head to M50 design space.

Shanghai Travel Tips

  • Avoid the heat and crowds of summer and visit Shanghai in early spring (March to May) or fall (September to November).
  • Tipping is becoming more common in Shanghai. Though 5% tip is sufficient in restaurants.
  • Street food is second-to-none in Shanghai. Make the most of it if you need to watch your budget.
  • If eating alone, ask for ‘Xiao Pan’. You’ll be given smaller, cheaper portions suitable for one.
  • The Shanghai Metro is huge but also quick and easy to use and machines have an English option.
  • Get a transport card and recharge it to use on buses, ferries, metros and even taxis.
  • Drink bottled water.
  • If you have respiratory problems, consider bringing a mask to fight the fog.
