Based on 130 customer reviews
This tour name had it just right.
5 - Excellent
  • Scott Vasquez
“I had traveled to china many times before for my business trips, only to Shanghai and Hong Kong. This tour opened my eyes to wonderful places in China. My favorite city here was Chengdu. I felt at peace as we were inside this fascinating landscape with pandas. The service was also top-notch which made it a very nice trip for me.”
Flawless trip
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“Hi, Vicky, You did arrange a flawless trip of us. We are really happy to join in this small group tour to visit the top tourist cities like Beijing, Xian and Shanghai. Except that, we also added 2 days to visit Zhangjiajie, which was also in our tour plan. All the arrangements including pick-up and drop-off at airport/train station and hotels are very good, without any flaw. All the tour guide speak English fluently. The guide in Xian is really knowledgeable.”
Looking forward to our next trip with TCT

Shanghai - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Shanghai Travel Highlights

  • Stroll along the Bund, Shanghai’s financial center, and take in the art-deco and neoclassical buildings. Shop in the exclusive boutiques, have a coffee and snap a shot of the Pudong skyline.
  • Explore the ‘Old Town’ for a sense of traditional China.
  • The neighbourhoods of the French Concession offer the best of laid-back entertainment from retail therapy to fine food.
  • 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.
  • The Yuyuan Gardens are an unmissable experience of fine Chinese landscaping. Avoid the weekend for a peaceful visit.
  • Shanghai Tower is China’s tallest building - no easy feat.
  • Shanghai Museum perfectly displays Chinese history for all.

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.
