Itinerary
1
Suzhou River
Suzhou Creek is one of Shanghai’s most underrated gems — a place where the city’s past, present, and future flow side by side. Once an industrial artery filled with warehouses and cargo ships, it has been transformed into a scenic urban corridor rich in history, architecture, and local life.
1 hour
2
Waibaidu Bridge
Shanghai’s first all-steel bridge and a beloved symbol of the city. As you cross over Suzhou Creek, take in views of the skyline and imagine the countless people who’ve passed this way for over a century.
3
Shanghai Post Museum
This stunning 1920s building blends European architecture with rich postal history. Head to the rooftop for hidden views of the Suzhou Creek and discover how mail helped shape Shanghai’s global connections.
10 minutes
4
The Bund (Wai Tan)
This elegant riverside district marks the birthplace of modern Shanghai. With restored colonial mansions and quiet gardens, it’s a more peaceful counterpart to the main Bund — yet just as rich in history.
10 minutes
5
Nanjing Lu (Nanjing Road)
Finish your walk along Shanghai’s most iconic shopping street — a lively blend of neon lights, century-old brands, and endless people-watching. A perfect way to end the tour with a taste of modern-day Shanghai.
