The Hidden Shanghai: Songjiang Origins

Escape Shanghai’s skyline for a day of quiet discovery. Start in Songjiang, where a lake-sunken museum traces a fishing village’s rise to global metropolis. Wander ancient pagodas, slip into temples, and taste honest local flavours near university streets and Sheshan foothills. End in Zhujiajiao — stone bridges, canals, pingtan tea, gondola boats, and living folk crafts. The Shanghai that was, alive just outside the centre.

From ¥1000/person

minimum of 1 person, up to 4 guests.

8 hours

A full day tour, designed to light up your entire journey.

Private Car

No planning, no buses, no transfers. Just enjoy the scenery
