French Concession Free Walking Tour

Overview of the tour in Shanghai

What better way to explore this great city than by having an indigenous inhabitant tell you stories about the history and evolution of this great city! I am a local Shanghainese—born, and lived here all my life.

I will meet you at Exit 4 South Shaanxi Road Station （Line1/10/12), As they say, “Paris ne s’est pas faith en un jour!” (“Paris was not made in a day!”) And by the same token, neither was the French Concession of Shanghai. In 2 hours, hear captivating stories about the French Concession and its colorful past as you walk across this quaint neighbourhood.

Learn about the celebrities and commoners alike who once strolled down these streets, and find yourself becoming a part of the legacy of this place. The tour ends at Tianzifang, where you could drink, eat, and shop at your convenience.

Highlights of the Tour:
-The Former French Club
-Old Stone Gate building
-Shanghai Culture Square
-Zhou Enlai's Former Residence & Museum
-Sinan Mansions
-Former International Courthouse
-Tianzifang
and more!

Hope to see you soon!
