About this activity

Just landed in Shanghai? Start your trip the tasty way. :)

Our food tour is designed to be the perfect first-day experience in China. You’ll eat your way through 14+ local flavors, from dumplings and noodles to street snacks and traditional sweets, but the food is only part of it!

Think of your guide as your local friend for the day. While exploring Shanghai’s streets, neighborhoods and hidden local spots, you’ll also learn the practical things that make the rest of your trip much easier: how to order food, what to look for on menus, how locals eat, what apps are useful, how convenience stores work, and the little tips and tricks that usually take a few days to figure out.

Expect family-run restaurants, street food stops, neighborhood favorites and plenty of stories along the way.

Come hungry, ask questions, and leave with a full stomach and a much better understanding of the city.

Good food, good people, and everything you need to start Shanghai right.
