Sono nata e vissuta tutta la mia vita a Shanghai, e ho attraversato i momenti brutti e quelli belli dell'hub commerciale cinese, sto ancora trovando nuove ispirazioni. Viaggiando in più paesi e continenti, cerco sempre di incontrare nuovi amici da tutti gli angoli del mondo. Desidero condividere la mia città natale e aiutare le persone a scoprire i segreti meglio custoditi che mi hanno fatto amare questa città!
Bill is extremely knowledgeable as he is Shanghai born and bred. He evoked the history of the period and took us back in time to the elegance of the pre-war French community. Of particular interest is the renovated Cercle Sportif Française which is now the luxury Okura Garden Hotel. I have also been on the food tour with Bill and thoroughly recommend all his walks.
I had been on the French Concession walk with Bill earlier in the day so I knew that the food tour would also be extremely good. Bill is friendly, intelligent and very knowledgeable about Shanghai having been brought up in the centre of the city. He took us to different styles of small, cheap restaurants serving local food with menus only in Chinese, consequently as a tourist, it is very unlikely we would have tried them. Each restaurant specialised, The first was noodles with eel and vegetables, followed by a restaurant specialising in dumplings. The crab and pork were absolutely delicious. Then onto the duck restaurant where we tried duck tongues and glass noodle soup with vegetables and different cuts of duck. Finally, we walked to the Muslim district where the minority Uygher population live and work although we were too full to have a kebab. I thoroughly recommend going on Bill‘s walks. He is entertaining and totally professional.
Very funny knowledgeable guy. Highly recommended.
