Step off the beaten path and discover a hidden side of Shanghai on the Lilong & Shikumen Tour. A brief yet captivating exploration, this journey delves into the city’s distinctive residential architecture—lilongs and shikumen—that have quietly shaped Shanghainese life for over a century. As you wander the narrow streets behind the city’s bustling facades, you’ll experience a slice of everyday life that feels frozen in time.
Guided by local experts, you’ll explore the French Concession’s maze of lilongs, peek into a Russian Orthodox church, and uncover tales of mob bosses and historic intrigue. This short tour is perfect for travelers seeking architectural wonders and authentic glimpses of Shanghai’s history.
The USP here is the rare access to neighborhoods and stories that most visitors never encounter, offering a deeper, more intimate connection to China’s vibrant urban tapestry.
