A propos de cette activités

Shanghaï ne présente pas seulement une architecture coloniale. Il y a quelques rares zones de la vieille ville qui se cachent derrière les gratte-ciel modernes. Cette intéressante randonnée pédestre vous emmènera visiter les sites non touristiques où vous pouvez entrer dans une rue remplie de « pyjamas dans le style de Shanghaï » et d'un passionnant jeu de Mahjong. Le point fort de l'excursion comprend les visites de l'une des plus anciennes maisons privées et des endroits suivants :
• L'historique tour d'incendie de la vieille ville, construite en 1910.
• La rue Qiao Jia où vivaient toutes les célébrités de la ville pendant les dynasties Ming et Qing.
• Le jardin Catalpa, construit par un industriel et artiste chinois au début du XXe siècle, les bâtiments à l'intérieur sont la combinaison d'une architecture chinoise, gothique, grecque et japonaise, ce jardin a été utilisé pour divertir Albert Einstein en 1922.
• La bibliothèque isolée (fermée au public mais ouverte pour vous), dans le passé c'était le jardin d'un propriétaire de bateau et c'est à présent la demeure d'un habitant, à l'intérieur, les maisons remontent à la dynastie Qing il y a plus de 300 ans et présentent encore de fascinantes sculptures d'origine sur les fenêtres, les portes, la colonne et le plafond.
• Le bâtiment à neuf salles, ancienne résidence de Xu Guangqi, un remarquable intellectuel et ministre chinois qui a vécu il y a 500 ans. C'est le premier interprète qui a introduit la religion catholique, les mathématiques et l'astronomie occidentales en Chine.
• Les quartiers d'habitations, le marché alimentaire et la salle du mah-jong, où vous pourrez découvrir la vie quotidienne amusante des habitants de Shanghaï à travers la cuisine de rue, le linge qui pend, les achats, la préparation de poissons et de crabes au marché et le véritable sérieux pendant les jeux de Mah-jong jeux.
• Le temple de Confucius, construit en 1368-1398, dédié au culte de Confucius (551-479 av. J.-C.) qui était un grand penseur, éducateur, et fondateur du confucianisme en Chine, est le seul complexe architectural ancien dans le centre de Shanghaï et a longtemps été le meilleur établissement d'enseignement de Shanghaï.
Une fois votre excursion terminée, votre guide vous aidera à trouver un taxi ou à utiliser les transports en commun pour retourner à votre hôtel. Vous pouvez aussi choisir de passer plus de temps à vous promener en ville.

The tour was absolutely the right choice! Penny is a very knowledgeable and competent guide and a beautiful woman too!  I really enjoyed the tour, learned a lot about the historical side of Shanghai and for sure saw some exciting corners and places of old Shanghai, which are not accessible for an usual tourist. Absolutely recommendable and I will for sure book the next tour on my future trip to Shanghai! Thank you.

We had Kelly as our guide. She met us at our hotel at 9am and took us on an amazing journey through Shanghai history. Kelly has such a great knowledge of Chinese history. It is a shame to find out that much of the Old Town is set to be demolished with the residents being moved out. Hopefully there will be a museum established to allow this history to be passed on to visitors of this area. We recommend if you are visiting Shanghai in the next year make sure you visit here and do the tour because it will be gone forever. So glad we did the tour and thank you Kelly you were amazing.

My family and I loved this tour! Our tour guide Fei Fei had a keen in-depth knowledge on the history of this walled-off historical treasure. She had the perfect balance of patience and fluidity in moving us along, all with a perpetual smile and warm heart. This tour navigated a path some places that we would have NEVER seen on our own. The old-style cluster of houses with generational family inhabitants highlighted communal living, exotic to most Americans. Once upon a time they were grand living quarters, but as the revolution took hold, the affluent were targeted and families uprooted. I highly recommend this specific walking tour for its historical perspective. Amongst the towering modern high-rises of Shanghai lay slivers of its ancient past. Ask for Fei Fei to lead your group and you won't be disappointed!

Penny is awesome! She is so knowledgeable when it comes to Chinese history and will take you places you will never find on your own, all the while bringing it to life with her stories. At the end of the tour, she gave us her cell phone and told us to call her if we needed anything at all while in Shanghai. Well I sure did! I found myself quite lost one day while touring on my own so I texted her and she sorted me out straight away. I felt I had a real friend in the city. Take this tour, it will not disappoint!

This was an amazing walking tour. Our tour guide was Penny, who spoke perfect English and seemed to have an endless amount of information to share. You know how sometimes on tours there are awkward periods of silence? Don't expect this from Penny, who seems to know random facts about every street you pass by and ties it into China's colorful history. I also loved how this tour was a bit off the beaten path for tourists - we did plenty of walking tours in Shanghai, but this one felt perhaps the most authentic. Thanks again Penny!

Wow, everyone should take this tour and take it with Penny. It was absolutely amazing. Penny took us places where we did not see any other tourists and I am not sure that many tourists go to the real old city. She had an amazing breadth of historical knowledge but clearly also has gotten to know people in the area. Penny was also just an extremely kind and warm person. My daughter and I got very cold. The day before had been very hot, and it was hot in the morning, but then the temperature dropped and the wind kicked up and we were very cold. Penny took extra time -- her time -- to take us to a shop to buy warmer clothes because she knew we were going on a night walking tour and the night cruise. And she took us to a quite affordable place. It probably added at least an hour to her time. She also then stayed with us until we met our next tour -- all in all, I think Penny spent more than two hours extra with us. We so enjoyed our time with her, seeing things that were stunning in so many ways and learning things it would be hard to have learn anywhere else. We highly recommend this tour.

This went to a part of Shanghai that I would not have felt comfortable entering without a local guide. Penny showed us the real Shanghai. She was an amazing tour guide. I highly recommended asking for Penny!
