My friend and I had a 12 hour layover in Shanghai on our way to Thailand and wanted to make the most of it. Our guide with China Highlights was Kris Lee (Chao). He had all sorts of interesting things to share with us and was very flexible with the things we wanted to do.

Meet Your Guide

According to your schedule, your private guide will be waiting for you at the airport, train station, cruise port, or in your hotel's lobby.

A comfortable vehicle (non-smoking) with an experienced driver will be ready for you to explore Shanghai.

Shanghai Highlights

First, take the fastest elevator in the world, stand on the highest building in Shanghai, and have a bird's-eye view of the entire city of Shanghai at the Shanghai Tower.

Visit Yu Garden, the most domineering private classical Chinese garden, with five resident dragons. The dragon was the symbol of the emperor, and only emperors could use dragons as decoration.

Try some xiaolongbao (steamed buns) for lunch in a local restaurant that has a history of over 100 years.

Explore the French Concession and learn about the colonial past of Shanghai, appreciating the elegant residences.

Walk along the Bund and experience the prosperous Nanjing Road. It's a good place to do some shopping before leaving Shanghai.
