Shanghai Tours, with a local

Welcome to Shanghai Urban Adventures, an extraordinary selection of local tours in Shanghai! One of the four municipalities in China under the direct administration of the central government, Shanghai is the financial centre with the highest degree of modernisation, has the largest urban population, and presents a unique mixture of Chinese and western culture.

The first open harbour for foreign ships and trade, the largest foreign concession in China, often called the "Oriental Paris" or "Paradise of Adventurers", the financial centre, Shanghai, was once the dream place for those who could dream big. Being the most westernised city in China, it won't be difficult for you to feel at home here. The city's history and unique culture tells a story through the majestic architecture, the narrow backstreets and alleys, the gardens and temples, and through the people's happiness and struggles.

At Urban Adventures, we want to take you to see a different Shanghai.  Our unique Shanghai tours will take you to explore the city through those narrow lanes and alleys on foot, taste the fabulous local snacks, wander through the local market and join in the locals' morning life in the Luxun Park. Alternatively, we can take the ferry across Huangpu River, go up the World Financial Centre, or climb the world-record making Lupu Bridge to look at the city from above and more importantly, to visualise the future development of the city from different angles. Our tour will provide you with a unique experience in Shanghai - to get involved and go up high!
