Day by day

1. 一Day 1

   Museum, garden, river

   The Shanghai city day: a museum, a garden and the river, with a hotel to come back to.

   • MorningShanghai Museum East, 1952 Century Avenue in Pudong, where the permanent galleries of bronzes, ceramics, jade, calligraphy and painting are shown. The museum’s homepage lists East as open 10:00 to 18:00 and closed on Tuesdays, so if this day falls on a Tuesday we swap it with another day. Your guide picks the galleries with you beforehand. The People’s Square building shows only an Americas exhibition until 14 November 2027.
   • MiddayLunch is your choice and is not included. We suggest a place near the Old City so that you do not lose time in traffic.
   • AfternoonYu Garden beside the City God Temple in the Old City. The garden covers 2 hectares with over 40 scenic spots and a 12 m Grand Rockery; it was first built in 1559 and created in 1577. Your driver drops you at the nearest point and meets you when you finish.
   • EveningThe Bund at dusk: a 1.6 km riverfront of 52 buildings, including the HSBC building (1923) and the Customs House (1927). Across the river stand the Pudong towers, among them the 632 m Shanghai Tower. Dinner is your choice, and we can book a table.

2. 二Day 2

   French Concession and departure

   A last walk through the lanes of the former French Concession, then your transfer.

   • MorningTianzifang on foot, a shikumen block dating from 1933, then Xintiandi, completed in 2001 after Shui On Group bought 23 blocks in 1996. Your driver follows by car so you start in one lane and end in another without backtracking.
   • MiddayLunch, or a coffee in one of the Xintiandi lanes.
   • DepartureTransfer to Pudong or Hongqiao airport or to the railway station. We time it to your flight or train and leave a buffer.
