  • 2 hours

Description

Experience the best of Shanghai's waterfront on this flexible tour along the East Bank of the Huangpu River. You'll uncover the stories behind the city's most iconic views.


We begin at the Pudong Art Museum, decoding the history of the Bund's architecture across the river and reflecting on Pudong's rapid transformation. We'll then explore local life at Dongchang Road Ferry and visit the hidden Jiangnan Customs Inspection Site before concluding at the historic Tangqiao Ferry Terminal with a view of the Nanpu Bridge. 


Choose Your Pace:Walking: A relaxed 1-2 hour historical stroll (approx. 3.5 km).Cycling: An extended adventure along the river breeze (route extension available). Join us to see Shanghai's past and present from the water's edge! 

* If you join the afternoon tour and the weather is nice, you might catch a stunning sunset over the Huangpu River!

*Perfect for Chinese Learners! (All levels welcome) This tour is conducted primarily in Mandarin Chinese, offering an immersive local experience. However, if you are a beginner learning Chinese (or just an English speaker curious about this side of Shanghai), don't worry! I can provide English explanations whenever needed to make sure you don't miss any of the fascinating stories.

Hi travelers, welcome! I’m Tami — I’ve called Shanghai home for over twenty years. My background in data and business gives me a unique lens on this city. I’ll take you beyond the skyline to uncover the bigger story behind the skyscrapers. If you prefer a more casual walk, let’s chat about food, plants, museums, and hiking in East China. 🌻Feel free to message me here for questions or custom requests. 🌿Can’t wait to show you around!

Meeting point:Wangjiangyi No.6 I'll have a green bag with me, standing next to Wangjiangyi No. 6 (the rusty red Riverside Stop), facing the Huangpu River. If you can't find it, please show the Chinese characters '六号望江驿' to a local. Security guards or cleaning staff are usually the most helpful!Open in Google Maps →
