Get a fascinating snapshot of Shanghai’s rich history and heritage in its ancient quarter and at its excellent museum of antiquity. Take a short drive to the famous Bund, the city’s inviting promenade along the Huangpu River. Old and new Shanghai are on full display, with colonial architecture towering over the Bund and a futuristic cityscape glittering across the river. After time to take it all in, continue to Old Shanghai, where you will stroll narrow lanes to the splendid Yuyuan Garden. Dating to the Ming Dynasty, these five acres contain delicate pavilions, winding paths and a Grand Rockery of caves and grottoes. After free time and a delicious dim sum lunch at a local restaurant, stop at a silk carpet and embroidery workshop to witness an ancient craft. Then visit the spectacular Shanghai Museum, featuring magnificent displays of art and antiquities from 5,000 years of China’s history.
