Zhujiajiao is a water town just an hour outside of Shanghai. It was established about 1,700 years ago. It features 36 stone bridges and numerous rivers line Zhujiajiao, and many ancient buildings still line the riverbanks today. The many shops nestled into the historic buildings and stone streets lined are bustling with with food vendors. Gondola rides along the canals are popular activities are included. Qing Dynasty Post Office, Yuanjin Buddhist Temple visit will make your water town tour complete.
We know museums aren't for everyone, but the Shanghai Museum, founded in 1952, offers an amazing historic selection of jade, scripts and statues as well as a large variety of bronze and porcelain artifacts. It's a great way to learn more about China's history in a very pleasant environment.
The Shanghai Tower is a 632-metre, 128-story megatall skyscraper in Lujiazui (second-tallest behind Dubai's Burj Khalifa.) It has the world's highest observation deck and the world's fastest elevators at a top speed of 74 km/hr. It is the world's A truly amazing view and experience.
Thames Town is a new town in Songjiang District, about 30 kilometres from central Shanghai, China.The architecture is themed according to classic British market town styles. This are features cobbled streets, Victorian terraces and corner shops. A taste of England just an hour from central Shanghai.
Located in Chedun Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai, it is one of the ten great film making bases in China. Shanghai Film Park contains the urban style of old Shanghai. The style and features of old Shanghai is one of the highlights of Shanghai Film Park. It duplicates many scaled landmarks about the city of old Shanghai over 1930s-1940s, such as Nanjing Road, Shikumen Houses (stone gate houses), Moller Villa, Shanghai Grand Theater, Peace Square, etc., pursuing creating original street scenes in which people could immerse and imagine the living details decades ago. The project was set in 1992 and expended in 1998 with an area of 800,000 square meters (nearly 198 acres) in total.
This unique complex of restaurants and shops once housed the Shanghai Municipal Council Slaughterhouse, the largest slaughterhouse in Shanghai. It is described by the Atlas Obscura travel guide as "an eerie Gotham-Deco achievement in concrete, glass, and steel, and the last remaining of its design in the world." Curved staircases, bridged walkways, and thick walls give the complex a unique industrial and bizarre aura.
Shanghai's Fabric and Custom Tailor markets can be a challenging, but worthwhile experience for visitors. From custom suits to hand-made cashmere sweaters, you can find something for almost any style and taste. You do need to do some homework to avoid some of the less reputable places as well as plan to return in 1-4 days to pick up your merchandise.
This labyrinth of small shops is one of Shanghai’s few remaining markets where you can get all the knock-off clothing, accessories and souvenirs you want. Find Nike, Levi, Beats, Gucci, Rolex and hundreds of other 'brands' at fractions of retail prices. Be prepared to negotiate and let the buyer beware!
This colonial-era mansion is in the French Concession area and was built by Eric Moller, who became wealthy from British shipping, in 1936. The distinctive design includes brown tiled Gothic and Tudor gables, spires, and steeples. It has been renovated to preserve its original style and today houses a hotel and is a great place for afternoon tea and strolling along the gardens.
Disneytown is an exciting shopping, dining and entertainment destination open to the general public right outside of Shanghai Disneyland at Shanghai Disney Resort. In addition, Disneytown also features one-of-kind restaurants and shops you won’t find elsewhere—including World of Disney Store, the first store of its kind in Asia.

I have joined the tours of this tour agency, "Jenny's Shanghai Tours" several times. This time's tour guide Tina, and the previous time's tour guide Peggy, both are very kind and have enormous knowledge about Chinese culture and Chinese history. This is my personal view, but I think the quality of the tour guides is pretty high.
I just wanted to express my appreciation for Celine who delivered a simply fabulous tour on Saturday 2 May in Shanghai. She provided, in my opinion, the right amount of information about the sights we were seeing, she made the trip interesting and also had a good sense of humour. Our driver for the day was also wonderful. We never waited any length of time to be collected and he drove very well.
From first on-line contact to finish Jenny and her associates were conscientious, professional and accommodating. Driver Tao and guide Troy were on time and on site consistently and adjusted the schedule in accordance with our pace, our unique interests and time limitations. No small feat considering the distances and traffic we met in total comfort while conversing one-on-one with Troy about life experience in an historic and dynamic environment. Interesting sights (Shanghai circus!) and history, great new foods (snacks and desserts!) to try, shopping when and where we wanted. A safe, smooth and well-coordinated experience.
Grace was a fantastic guide who could explain to us clearly all the sites that she brought us to. She also adjusted her commentaries to focus on our areas of interest based on observing and interacting with us. We enjoyed the 2 days we spent with her.
Ou guide and driver were excellent. They gave us good insight into Chinese culture and lifestyle. They pointed out symbolism we would have otherwise missed. The restaurants they chose were authentic and outstanding. We would recommend these tours. The communication before, during and after was very good. We always felt safe and well taken care of.
I did a two day tour of Shanghai with car and driver: First day was the Shanghai Incredible Highlights and second day was a visit of the Zhujiajiao Water Town with some more Shanghai highlights after. The booking of the tour with Jenny was easy. My guide was Cathy and she was very nice and knowledgeable. Her English was perfect. I learned a lot about the local history, culture and way of life. I had a wonderful experience and definitely recommend Jenny's tours.
Our tour with Apple was fantastic. She showed us everything that we wanted to see and was very knowledgeable. She was full of energy and tried to make sure that we could experience everything that we wanted to experience. She found fantastic food options for us to try and made sure we were well taken care of. She even gave us options of some extra things to do after we had gone back to the hotel to make sure our visit was enjoyable and that we could experience Shanghai. The driver was fantastic as well. He always showed up on time and made sure that we were taken care of. The car was clean and he was very polite and a safe driver, even when unexpected road closures caused him to try to figure out how to get us to the airport on time. The driver also took us to the hotel to drop off our luggage the first night and waited for us so he could take us to the Bund at night, which was not part of our tour, but he went the extra mile to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Shanghai.
1. Came across Jenny’s China Tours website while surfing online. Website is informative and booking a trip involves filling an online form. Steps are easy and straightforward. 2. Jenny responded very quickly and pre-trip arrangements were settled within a few days. Online payment was available for deposit and balance later on. It was efficient. 3. Local guide, Troy, and driver, Wang, were a great duo. They were always punctual and we had ample time at every attraction. Troy spoke fluent English and was knowledgeable about the places we visited. Local food recommendations were delicious. Had a wonderful time. Highly recommend Jenny’s China Tours for families. Special thanks to Troy for his personalised service.
Dear Mr. Yeo, I love your review style! It's clear, logical, and of course, beautifully written! :) Thank you for your fantastic review. We're thrilled you enjoyed our tour process from beginning to end. I especially appreciated your comments about our operational work. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to hosting your family again soon at Jenny’s China Tours! Take care, Jenny
Besides the Zhujiajiao water town, we also took 2days Beijing greatwall, summer palace and forbidden city tour with Jenny. Overall, we are very satisfied with the guides provided. Their service was amazing and beyond (Jesse helped us buy train tickets to other cities and Jason patiently helped my MIL walked at Great Wall and took great pics despite the freezing weather). Jenny's tour is highly recommended...
