Overview

During the tour, you will be introduced to the fascinating history of Shanghai's ancient city, where you can observe the transition in residents' living spaces over time. Explore the 12 Chinese zodiac animals, each with their unique costumes, and visit the City God Temple to learn about Taoism and folk religion in China, along with the common beliefs and celebrations associated with them.

Enjoy the scenic beauty of the 9 Zig-Zag Bridge and the Mid-Lake Pavilion, and take a step back in time at a traditional Chinese medicine shop, where you can sample the "king of herbs." Browse through a small Shanghai product market and immerse yourself in local craftsmanship.

Finally, we will visit the Shanghai Ancient City Park, a place where ancient relics meet in a peaceful environment, providing a relaxing end to our tour.
