Day 1 – Arrival in Shanghai

When you arrive in Shanghai, you’ll be collected and transferred to your colonial-style hotel packed with historic atmosphere located just a short walk from the Bund riverside walk. As soon as you set foot outside the door, you’ll find yourself in the heart of Nanjing Road with bright lights, bars and restaurants.

Day 2 – Free time

You’ll spend two nights in Shanghai and your time is completely your own. It’s a great city for walking, so amble between old world colonial buildings, quiet cobbled lanes and sleek skyscrapers, stopping to grab a cocktail in a swanky rooftop bar as you go.

Day 3 – Departure

After breakfast on day 3 this trip comes to an end. You will make your own way to the train station or airport for your onward travel. If you would prefer us to include this transfer for you just let your Travel specialist know.
