Day 2 Shanghai City Tour | Shanghai Tower, Shanghai Museum, Yu Garden & Bazaar, Nanjing Road & The Bund
Discover ancient and modern Shanghai through its Shanghai Museum, Yu Garden, Yuyuan Bazaar, Nanjing Road, The Bund and Shanghai Tower. (B+L)

Today, your group will have full day to experience the perfect blend of East and West in the "Paris of the East." Explore brilliant museums, classical gardens, futuristic skyscrapers, and stunning architecture - all in one vibrant city.

First, head to Pudong and the Lujiazui financial district, home to a trio of iconic skyscrapers. The Shanghai Tower, China’s tallest and the world’s second-tallest building at 632 meters (2,073 ft), soars with a dramatic 120-degree twist from base to peak. Ride the world’s fastest elevators (64 km/h) to the "Top of Shanghai Observatory" on the 118th floor, 546 meters above ground. Enjoy breathtaking 360-degree views of the city, with the Jin Mao Tower and Shanghai World Financial Center below.

Later, visit the Shanghai Museum (East), one of the world’s finest museums of ancient Chinese art. Its sleek, modern design is inspired by the traditional Chinese jade bi disc. Inside, explore galleries of bronzes, ceramics, calligraphy, paintings, jade, furniture, coins, and sculptures. Don’t miss iconic treasures like the Da Ke Ding, a 3,000-year-old bronze vessel, displayed with the Zi Long Ding and Marquis of Jin Bells - a rare highlight of the Bronze Gallery. Also, see the legendary Sword of King Goujian of Yue, a masterpiece of ancient craftsmanship.

Next, visit Yu Garden, Shanghai’s most famous classical garden, hidden in the heart of the city. Stroll through elegant pavilions, rockeries, and lotus ponds, and admire exquisite carvings and traditional architecture. Outside, Yuyuan Bazaar offers local snacks, souvenirs, and handcrafted art.

In the afternoon, walk along Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, lined with global brands, cafes, and historic buildings. End at the Bund, Shanghai’s top must-see landmark. Known as the "Exhibition of International Architecture," it features 52 grand buildings in Gothic, Baroque, and Art Deco styles. From here, enjoy a stunning view of the Pudong skyline across the Huangpu River.

iTravel Note:
  1. Yu Garden is closed on Mondays. In this case, we may visit the City God Temple, or French Concession
  2. Shanghai Museum (East) is closed on Tuesdays. You will visit Shanghai Museum (People’s Square) on that day. If access to the People’s Square location is unavailable, we will arrange an alternative city attraction.

How do I book a China group tour?+

Select your travel dates and click “join-in a tour”. You will get a free enquiry and don’t need to pay immediately. After sending us your requirements, one of our professional travel experts will get back to you within 0.5 to 24 hours, and we guarantee to reserve a place for you first.

When all the information has been confirmed, then you make the payment. Please feel free to contact the travel expert directly if you have any questions prior to booking.

Meals+

B stands for breakfast, served at your hotel each morning.

L stands for lunch. The restaurants we arrange are designated tourism restaurants approved by local tourism administration, maintaining excellent hygiene. Your guide will assist you in ordering dishes.

D stands for dinner. Please refer to the daily itinerary — dinners are usually excluded so you can try authentic Chinese food and local snacks. However, if you take the Yangtze River cruise, dinners will be included onboard. Similarly, during trips to Tibet, dinner is included when visiting Mount Everest Base Camp (e.g., Tibetan hot pot).

If you have special dietary requirements (vegetarian, halal, kosher, Indian, or gluten-free), please notify us before booking. We will do our best to accommodate you.

In a China group tour, you will stay in well-selected 3-star hotels located in convenient areas at each destination. All hotels feature windows, air-conditioning, hot water, showers, and Wi-Fi to ensure a comfortable stay.

For travelers taking a Yangtze River cruise, the ship will provide a relaxing experience, including comfortable accommodations between the Chongqing and Yichang section.
