The Big Bus City Tour is an excellent introduction to Shanghai and travels to a number of its most popular attractions. The tour has been carefully designed to give you an insight into Shanghai’s heritage and culture. See the beautifully restored traditional houses of Xin Tin Di; now a thriving restaurant district and gems such as the Yu Garden; a haven of peace and tranquillity.
You will also discover Shanghai’s distinctive blend of traditional and contemporary buildings. Travelling along The Bund, you’ll have striking views of both the grand colonial-style buildings along the waterfront and the towering, modern skyline on the opposite side of the Huangpu River. The tour also reveals the city’s green spaces in People’s Square and provides the opportunity to hop off for shopping on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street.
You can choose the 24-hour package – which includes the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel one-way and one of Madame Tussaud’s Museum, a 90-minute river cruise with afternoon tea, or the Jin Mao Tower - or the Premium 48-hour tour, which includes the cruise, the tower and the Jade Buddha Temple.
