Begin your morning with a classic Shanghai breakfast, including soy milk, youtiao (fried dough sticks), glutinous rice cakes, and sesame balls. Then, hop on your bike and follow your English-speaking guide through charming streets and hidden lanes.

Stop to appreciate local architecture and learn how Shanghai’s history shaped the neighborhoods you’re riding through. Along the way, enjoy tastings at local eateries, including juicy steamed xiaolongbao.

Visit a former large shikumen complex that has been transformed into a stylish villa hotel, offering a look at how traditional housing and modern design meet in today’s Shanghai. Finish your experience on a sweet note with a Chinese dessert stop (options may include ginger milk, double-layered milk pudding, or mango sago pomelo).

Your guide will also help capture candid moments during the tour so you can focus on enjoying the ride.
