This is a trailer for breakfast tour. There will be difference in food selection between breakfast tour and dinner tour, while the itinerary and fun remain the same. The sequence of stops will be adjusted to fit the evening schedule

Suzhou Creek

Stand on a bridge over Suzhou Creek, a lesser-known spot that offers the best angle of the iconic Pudong skyline. In our view! Hear the history of how the Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek played pivotal roles in Shanghai's transformation—from a quiet water town to a bustling global metropolis

ROCKBUND

ROCKBUND is perceived as the backstreet of the world-famous Bund. If the Bund represents Shanghai's vibrancy and energy, then the Rockbund is its quieter counterpart: reserved and refined. This area underwent an 18-year-long revitalization by a team of international architects and fully opened to the public in 2023

The Bund

Discover the Bund, the iconic symbol of Shanghai's peak in the early 20th century, hailed as the "No.1 city in the Far East." Global talents and capital transformed it into a dazzling showcase of wealth. Uncover the hidden stories of these historic buildings and their role in a defining moment of Chinese history

ShengJian (Pan fried bun) Restaurant

Shengjian is one of the most iconic breakfast items in Shanghai, offering a perfectly crispy skin that crunches with every bite. It pairs nicely with a comforting bowl of glass noodle soup. Hear the rivalry stories of two styles of pan fried buns, just like the debate between NY style pizza and Chicago deep dish!

Braised Pork Belly Restaurant

Savor tender pork belly, its lean and fatty layers melting in your mouth. Paired with Shanghai-style rice steamed with ham and vegetables, a local favorite. This comforting combo captures the essence of Shanghai cooking - the magical use of soy sauce and sugar

People's Square

Stroll through People's Square to digest the delicious food. Discover the century-old cinema and hotel, once Shanghai's tallest building for over 50 years. Experience the vibrant atmosphere of People's Park, where every weekend hosts a marriage market, with parents arranging dates for their children!

Soup Dumplings Restaurant (A brand since 1986)

Gently bite into a soup dumpling, and the savory crab roe juice bursts in your mouth. Taste the delicious soup-based little wontons, another Shanghai classics

Traditional Chinese Dessert Restaurant

Stewed milk dessert, this 19th-century southern Chinese treat, is now a national favorite, popular for its rich, creamy aroma and unique texture. For fruit lovers, there is a mango-themed dessert to choose from!

Scallion Pancake (Food stand)

Scallion pancakes, freshly made to order, are prepared by frying green onions in oil to infuse their aroma into the dough. The pancake has a layered texture that is crisp, fragrant, and deeply satisfying!
