Suggested Itinerary

Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests and schedule.

Day 1 Shanghai Arrival

Welcome to Shanghai! To ensure your arrival is stress-free, your private tour guide will meet you in the arrivals hall and transfer you to your hotel in a private car. Your luggage and hotel check-in will be taken care of.

Day 2 Shanghai | City Exploration
Breakfast & Lunch

Begin your journey at China's tallest building, the Shanghai Tower. Take the world's fastest elevators, which will whisk you to the top in just one minute. From the observation deck, you'll be treated to a stunning 360-degree view of Shanghai.

Fewer people know that near the top of Shanghai Tower hangs a massive golden damper weighing over 1,000 tons. This giant tuned mass damper helps the tower resist swaying from strong winds and earthquakes. Continue your journey up to the 125th floor, where you can see this engineering marvel up close.

Walking around the Bund, the historic waterfront promenade, you will admire the row of "Museum of Buildings" featuring 19th to 20th century.

Ready for a thrill? Step into Shanghai's VR theme park, where virtual reality drops you right into the action! One moment you're battling through scenes from hit Chinese TV shows, the next you're diving into epic historical adventures. It's not just watching — it's living the story.

Afterwards, swing by Shanghai's newest landmark — the eye-catching Louis Vuitton ship-shaped store — before heading to Nanjing Road. As one of the city's busiest pedestrian streets, it's alive with neon lights, local snacks, street performers, and the non-stop buzz of shoppers and sightseers.

Day 3 Shanghai | Legoland Fun
Breakfast

The world's largest LEGOLAND opened on July 5, 2025, built with more than 85 million LEGO bricks. The park features record-breaking attractions, including the tallest LEGO minifigure ever at 26 meters high, the world's first ride weaving through towering LEGO minifigures, and the debut of the LEGO Monkie Kid live show.

Step into a universe where creativity, culture, thrills, and storytelling come alive. Build boats, battle alongside NINJAGO heroes, or cruise through LEGO-inspired water towns—every corner offers something magical to discover.

If Legoland doesn't suit your taste, Disneyland makes an excellent alternative, offering a full day of fun for both kids and adults.

Get ready to take a ride on a driverless bus. Watch the wheel turn on its own as the vehicle glides seamlessly through the streets.

Continues to the Alibaba Creative Ecological Park, once the headquarters of the global internet giant. Uncovering the story of how Alibaba and Hangzhou grew together, fueling the spirit of innovation that defines the city.

Step into the Wensan Future Technology Center, where tomorrow comes alive.
