Shanghai city highlights: the Bund, Old Town, Yu Garden and a Pudong skyline view
6 hoursPublic transportationPrivate tour for 1–6 peopleShanghai, East ChinaEasy (6 km on foot)
The Bund's banks and hotels read like a history of the 1920s; I tell you who built them and what happened inside. Then the Old Town and Yu Garden's rockeries and tea house, lunch on soup dumplings, and across the river by ferry for the view back at the skyline.
