Overview

Unfortunately, a big part of the Old City will disappear soon... Let's enjoy our last chances to discover its secrets before destruction, and see what is still there. Follow our Tour Leader for a 3-hour walk in this big maze under destruction. We will first visit a part close to destruction and emptied of its inhabitants, and then a second part still inhabited and more lively. Discover old villas, traditional Shanghainese houses, hidden details showing us the history of Shanghai... Learn new secrets about this part of the city: architecture, history, beliefs, religion, urbanization... You will learn things even Shanghainese people don't know!
