Crazy Yummy Free Food Tour & Local Hidden Gems in Central Shanghai
Overview
Come explore the real city with me, Summerhaha, your slightly obsessed (with food) local expert.
This is not a typical tour. Just real food, real neighborhoods, and real Shanghai life.
Part 1. Eat like a local: we’re going where locals actually eat every day.
- China: a meat lover’s country or a vegetarian paradise?
- Can a 2 RMB ice cream really beat gelato?
- Handmade dumplings from a neighborhood auntie
- Regional Chinese pancakes you’ve probably never seen before
- Chinese desserts… surprisingly not always sweet
- And why Shanghai has 10,000+ coffee shops？
Part 2. See the city beyond the surface: this is the Shanghai most visitors never notice.
- A real local supermarket, how many things can you actually recognize?
- A fancy Apple store next to a golden Buddhist temple, which is more popular?
- A community center with a library, gym… and it's FREE?!
This activity includes:
- Jing'an Temple
