This walk through French Concession is designed for those who want to make the most of a half-day discovering the city’s culture, history, art & food. Each stop has been carefully chosen to tell layered stories that reveal how Shanghai has evolved over 900 yrs!

Your guide, a native Shanghainese, brings 30+yrs of personal witness to the city’s shaping & 15+yrs of cross-cultural exp, serving as your living link between the past & present.
