✨ Highlights
📖 What You Can Expect
Join this private 4‑hour walking experience through Shanghai’s most beloved historical lanes. Your guide will meet you at a central metro station and lead you into the French Concession’s atmospheric streets.
You’ll see the famous Wukang Building (designed by László Hudec), stroll along Wukang Road lined with plane trees and preserved villas, and discover hidden corners that most tourists never find. Depending on the weather and your interest, the tour may include a short visit to Jiao Tong University’s heritage campus (indoor museums – reservation required) or focus more on indoor art and coffee culture on rainy days.
A highlight is the Shanghai‑style comic art museum, tucked inside a residential lane – here you can learn about a local intangible heritage and even try drawing your own cartoon postcard.
The walk ends in the trendy Anfu Road area, where you can enjoy a relaxed coffee or tea break at a local café. Your guide will share tips on how locals live, shop, and spend their weekends.
