Overview of your Shanghai tour

Wukang Road to Tianzifang on foot: the 1930s villas and the shikumen lane houses, who lived in them, and the coffee and bakery culture that has taken them over. This is the Shanghai Shanghainese love.

Good with the Bund tour?

Yes: do this in the morning and the Bund tour the next day, or ask me for a combined 8-hour version.

How do I pay?
